Tristesse hivernale

Alcest

Raw, frozen black metal from Alcest's earliest days. Abrasive shrieks and buzzing guitars capture the biting cold of a French winter before the shoegaze shift.

A relentless and icy aggression that masks a deep, underlying sense of naturalistic mourning.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden transition from the acoustic intro to the abrasive wall of noise on the title track.
The relentless, hypnotic blast beats that anchor the mid-section of the seven-minute closer.
The way the lead guitar melody on La Forêt de cristal cuts through the lo-fi murk with surprising clarity.
