Next Alcest album revealed

2011-09-26 by ArchoN | 65 Comments
In an interview with Romanian webzine Carta De Nisip, Alcest frontman Neige announces the title for its third album, Les Voyages De L'âme (Trans: The Soul's Journey), due out later this year through Prophecy Productions.
About the album, Neige comments: "The next album is already recorded and will contain 8 songs. It's a longer album than the previous ones, very rich and having a lot of different atmospheres. It will contain harsh vocals but will surely be the last one having these kind of vocals parallel to the clean ones. It is called Les Voyages De L'âme, which could be translated to "The Soul's Journey" and concerning concept of this album its title is saying a lot about it..."

Man, two people that never liked Ecailles des Lune in the first place are dissing on him now? Must be

This is awesome news. Ecailles de Lune is one of my favourite albums ever, I don't care what people say that album is incredible.

the first rule of sputnik: anything universally praised by the community (like Ecailles de Lunes) at one time will eventually be shunned by the cool kids within a year or two. It's a vicious cycle.

I'll check this out, I really dug their last two albums.

Will be amazing

this could also be Alcest's last metal album, period. Neige has spoken a few times about wanting to take the metal out of his work completely.

Since I find Souvenirs to be superior to Ecailles by a fairly wide margin, I think he should've just went ahead and scrapped the metal on this album.

I like Ecailles better then Souvenirs but i agree, he just needs to make a shoegaze album and scrap the metal, i have a feeling that would be pretty awesome.

Want more screamy vox, but anything by this band will do. Relatively moved. Not excited per se, but moved. Interested.

The new Lantlos song has me stoked, though.

The only good thing about the last album was Part 2 of the title track, rest was pretty meh and samey. Could use alot more metal in his sound atleast.

Are his earlier albums more metal-oriented instead of that post-gay stuff?

fuckin st0ked. didn't expect this so soon either. i remember hearing that they were working on new shit, but it wasn't gonna be out until 2012, so this is a nice surprise. 2011 just don't stop.

and shit, this reminds me, i STILL have not listened to their first album. it's been on my ipod for a couple months now.

Hope this will be better than Ecailles. I'm pretty much on Angel's side, liked Souvenirs way more.

i'll bet that it's the song being used in a music video with a random b-side. :]

that's what i was thinking, kind of how the les discrets split had a song from ecailles then a b-side

still, not sure if i trust just that one site

Alcest is phenomenal, shut the fuck up. I loved Ecailles de Lune and still listen to it.

And Lantlos is great too, Minusmench is a wonderful song.

Neige has said that this is going to be a sort of synthesis of his past work, and fursy teyssier has said that it's a blending of the strongest elements of ecailles and souvenirs.

and album with the dynamic quality of ecailles and the consistency of souvenirs would be pretty much perfect imo
