This album is so close to being my favorite of the year, it's such a massive release! Charcoal Grace by Caligula's Horse resonates with me more still but brother, when I say this is a close second it is really the closest it can get, I was not even expecting Alcest to release anything so it came to me as a big surprise! It explodes in atmosphere, in wild creative ideas, and overall it sounds completely unique from front to end, it's an amazing piece of art and this song specifically is one of my favorite from the record.

Such a solid album! The full album is worth a listen. This feels like a deeper cut on the album and I think it makes better sense in context of the full record.

Can't stop listening to this album since it has been released, it's so joyful and at the same time melancholic, a constant change between hopeful and sad moments and i think in "L'Enfant de la Lune" you can feel that too. The whole album really is about the atmosphere these songs build. "Les Chants De L'Aurore" is definitely less black metal-ish than some of the other records, for me its more along the lines of their dreampop-album "Shelter", but incorporating ideas of their whole discography. That's why, at least for me and the state of mind i recently find myself in, it's my album of the year at the moment. Anyway, always nice to see you react to favorite stuff!

I could get behind this style. Quite a genre shift based on previous that I've heard.

Alcest is one of those bands where when I find something of theirs I haven't listened to I feel compelled to check it out, but they never make my playlists. They have a bit of a different spirit to it than what I am after in terms of atmosphere. So far, I think Rostorchestor's "Der Zinnen Sang vom Niedergang" and Elemental's "Nightburn" are my favorite releases of 2024. I'm gonna add Heraldic Blaze's "Blazoned Heraldry" to the list of favorites from 2024.

This is a solid one from their new album! Honestly, I would have to put it at 5th place out of the 5 "traditional tracks" in terms of enjoyment I get out of listening to it, but it's still got some nice moments and works a bit better in the context of a full album listen. There are two more tracks that are more of an interlude (which is before this) and a ballad-y end track to close off the album (which follows this). Their albums tend to be on the shorter side even though there are usually multiple songs around this length, but they make up for it by being great to listen to multiple times. Anyway, it's totally fair that this is someone's favorite on the album, but I would rank the rest a full letter tier above this one, where this is a B and the rest are A or better. I still think Les Voyages de L'âme (2012) is their peak sound and it's going to be hard to top that, but they've remained as a consistently strong artist with each release, so I really appreciate that!

i think you're mixing them with someone else, because there was alcest track in one of the recent livestreams (#123) and it also wasn't very black metal-ish

I think he did Kodama in 2020 but I wouldn't call that one too black metal either

Yeaaaah I don't know who I'm mixing them up with but I was thinking they were a traditional BM band. Gonna have to refresh myself on them before the next reaction
