Blackgaze pioneers ALCEST dive back into metal territories with the new single "Protection", (see and hear it below) taken from the upcoming sixth album "Spiritual Instinct", looks like this might be a breathtaking piece of art that I am looking forward to.
"Spiritual Instinct" will be released on Nuclear Blast for the first time.
For principal songwriter and frontman Neige, ALCEST has always been a gateway to the otherworldly, a means of exploring his spirituality. An elemental two-piece, completed by long-serving drummer and creative confidante Winterhalter, their sixth album "Spiritual Instinct" finds Neige at his most personal. “This time I had something urgent to put on the table,” he explains. “It is a very cathartic record- something needed to get out of me. It’s darker than usual, and heavier.”
Written in bursts both during and after a prolonged period of touring in support of 2016’s hugely successful "Kodama".
Today's tune "Protection", is the first music video from the upcoming album "Spiritual Instinct", out October 25th.
