Our Take

Album Review: ALCEST - Spiritual Instinct

Atmospheric black metal duo ALCEST have returned with their latest offering, Spiritual Instinct. Known for their ethereal soundscapes and introspective lyrics, the band once again delivers a mesmerising listening experience that will transport you to another realm.

From the opening track, "Les Jardins de Minuits," ALCEST waste no time in setting the tone for the album. The haunting vocals of frontman Neige float effortlessly over the intricate guitar melodies, creating a sense of otherworldly beauty that is truly captivating.

Tracks like "Protection" and "Sapphire" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend shoegaze and black metal influences, creating a sound that is both abrasive and melodic. The shimmering guitars and pulsating drums create a sense of urgency, while Neige's soaring vocals add a sense of emotional depth to the music.

However, it is on tracks like "Le Miroir" and "L'Île Des Morts" where ALCEST truly shine. The hypnotic melodies and ethereal vocals create a sense of transcendence that is truly breathtaking. These tracks effortlessly blend beauty and aggression, creating a sound that is as captivating as it is powerful.

Overall, Spiritual Instinct is a masterclass in atmospheric black metal. ALCEST have once again proven themselves to be true innovators in the genre, pushing boundaries and creating music that is both haunting and beautiful. This album is a must-listen for fans of the band, as well as anyone looking for a truly unique and captivating listening experience. So, light some candles, grab your favourite glass of wine, and prepare to be transported to another realm with Spiritual Instinct. Trust us, you won't regret it.
