SOUVENIRS D'UN AUTRE MONDE

Released in 2007, Alcests debut album, Souvenirs dun autre monde, marks the starting point of the bands extraordinary career. With the release of Souvenirs dun autre monde, Alcest mastermind Neige forged a luminous new sound that floats on the fringes of metal, yet incorporates emotions of euphoria, bliss and nostalgia. The singer and multi-instrumentalist dedicated the album to his childhood memories of experiences in a spiritual otherworld; personal themes that would become conceptual cornerstones of subsequent Alcest albums. Souvenirs... became known as one of the fundamental releases of the Blackgaze / Post-Black Metal genre, a record that continually influences countless other bands in its wake.
