Alcest

Alcest sign with Prophecy Productions

After making a small stir in the black metal underground with their 2004 mini-CD 'Le Secret', Alcest have left their origins in that scene far behind them. Their music manages to evoke a spring-like atmosphere full of beauty, intense joy and light, but also yearning and nostalgia. It brings to mind memories of the innocence and bliss of a childhood long past as well as impressions of a fantastic realm of perfect harmony.

Bearing in mind the roots of multi-instrumentalist Neige's one-man project, this concept and its musical expression are nothing less than revolutionary, and hence Prophecy Productions and Alcest are equally proud of having laid the foundation for a long-lasting cooperation with a contract over five records.

The first testimony of this collaboration will be the project's debut album, 'Souvenirs d'un autre monde', to be released August 6th, a record that already now can be regarded as a peerless landmark.

'Souvenirs d'un autre monde' tracklist:
1. Printemps emeraude
2. Sounvenirs d'un autre monde (pre-listening full title)
3. Les Iris
4. Ciel errant
5. Sur l'autre rive je t'attendrai
6. Tir Nan Og
