Franz El Gato same here, its like "hey I will listen to some new stuff from Alcest", put this on and after the first 3 minutes I was like: "hey I found my new favorite band"... haha
my friend came with me at the gig but to see Anathema. I went just for Alcest. He told me he disliked the new Anathema's way, and now he is a massive Alcest's fan. Power of music. Above all if live
Well, Alcest is not black metal anymore of course, but Neige didn't forget about the roots completely, songs like "Oiseaux de Proie" or "Je suis d'Auilleurs" have some heavier parts.
Nice music once more by Alcest! A lot of progressive elements I think, great melodic vocals by Neige. Piece of art, a beautiful journey through emotions.
The grandeur and ehterealness of this band is something unique. Some parts really remind me of the early Ulver, whilst the use of mellowtron in some parts remind of early prog bands.
I must bow before the sheer magnificence, heart and soul of this music. Neige and Alcest are artists, and their music is the essence of their artistry.
@@Human1136 Imagine Neige following Jesus. That Would be Otherworldy Blast! Actually really really powerfull.... When you compare Spiritual Nature Of Neige and God-Hood Of Jesus. What a the Beauty That Would be Created!
I love alcest so much. They're spiritually fulfilling. Also miyazaki is awesome and it's magical that alcest wrote a song about the little forest spirits from it.
I used to listen to this a lot while in Public transport a few years ago. Such a beautiful album. Can't believe i 'forgot' about this. This deservers so much praise. Damn.
Woah, a new Insomnium as well? :O I feel even more spoilt now. There's also a new Poets of the Fall album coming out on the 30th (different genre of music so probably not something folks here would listen to but another one of my favourites, so it's gonna be a triple good end of September for me!)
You all should check out the new album "Eternal" by An autumn for crippled children too. And to add on, Dark Tranquillity's song "The Pitiless" from their new album "Atoma" hits the streets today.
Exactly what i was about to say. ....Is that a violin youre holding? im a beginner self taught violinist. would really help me out if you could check my progress videos in my channel and comment down anything im doing wrong. thanks!
i think of this song as quietly brilliant there is structure but it feels effortless and smooth with how good it is as if they composed and just let it flow without predetermined buildup or climax kind of like life in its purest form
Was lucky to see them last year at Rockharz Open Air. They played as the very last band, most people allready left, but still it was one of the best concerts I haver ever seen.
"In my opinion the best song from the album" "Nop" (you spelt "Nope" wrong btw) This means you are telling the person that no, that isn't their opinion, NOT that you disagree with their opinion but they're still welcome to it. lrn2ingrish ;)
Man Alcest music is magical..taking you into a reverie nostalgic melancholic and deep emotional feelings that can trancends any boundaries known to man...Pure Awesomeness ❤💣💥🎸🔥
Wonderful vocals by Sylvaine singer there, in a short part, I wish I could hear her voice more. Amazing song and vocals by Neige, nice improvisation, the sound and atmosphere fits perfect to the art direction.
This is extraordinary. Alcest stole my heart 3 days ago in Guadalajara. I love them. They were amazing, and so nice and friendly with their fans. They are awesome!!!!!!!!
3:41 - 4:12 I swear I was expecting to evolve into something more heavier with blast beast and then that part came....such a great song!! and then what it comes next....This band is so special... it makes you feel so relaxed and calm.
4:10-5:10 is to me the perfect representation of divinity in sonic form. Perfection is unachievable but this is as close as anyone will ever get musically. Purely cathartic
What should I say, I don't have any words to describe..!! It's like Ayahuasca trip on metal. Well, Alcest you are the best metal band I've ever seen in my entire life...! You are awesome. 😘
I discovered this band with this album. Took my a while to get used to the style, but probably in my 3 top favorite bands ever. What a unique sound. I love it.
Saw Alcest live yesterday at the Bangalore open air. Excellent set list, mostly from Kodama and Souvenirs.... Managed to get a selfie with Neige and an autograph too 😊
Did you ever read the Divine Comedy? I guess the sensation that Dante tries to explain when he says he had experience of God must be very close to the one I feel when that guitar enters in the middle of the seventh minute. Absolute masterpiece!
Que sí, que la canción es la hostia, pero es que llega el 7:05 y es aún mejor, son increíbles estos gabachos, de verdad gracias a la madre de Neige por parirlo
Bonjour. J' aime beaucoup ce morceau même si je suis amateurs de musique classique et de.musiques anciennes. Ce morceau est très bien construit au niveau des différentes voix et le schéma mélodique est très bien construit.
Dont remember how i got here because im smoking good weed right now but this song is dope AF and im happy i found a new band that im gonna start listening to :)
@@educostanzo Weed njsic is an illusion. Being sober makes it 1000x better. The dopamine rushing from a clear head it's magic respect to Cannabis High sensations. Don't get me wrong, being high AF and listening to music it's blessings, but unless it's an experience you enjoy 2/3 times a month that shit would feel the same and it's draining you from enjoy music properly, making it dazey, while being sober you can sense it all.

So nice when you hear a band you never heard before and you like it so much
tune in to their older album catalogue...you will not be disappointed

yep never heard them untill tonight.
This band is one of those “good” parts of life. There aren’t many but god damn this is so good. Beyond words and doesn’t need words.
yeah, altogether with Slayer, Rachmaninov, Elvis Presley and brazilian Samba. good music is genreless.
Yep, life with depression is like that
@@juanborjas6416 yes without music like this I’d be dead a long time ago
I feel exactly like this.
When a song is so beautiful you have to cry
Vannie ofvanwel I saw them live yesterday and I must say they did exactly that.
Saw them right before the pandemic started. Still feels like yesterday..
Excellent!

Winter's Dusk In Mistful Abyss II very nice comment
I will honestly say this album is probably one of my most favorite albums of all time
Metal Drummer99 total agree
Listen to Palms by Palms (Chino Moreno) thank me later
3:13 - 3:40 No words to describe that part.
because none of those were words.
Sound, music, melody, instruments. there's plenty.
Yep
@@ileiad they're french words. the song actually has lyrics
@@Hetdommeschaapendeslimmeaapnope, they're not french words
And it comes from a french dude
The grandeur and ehterealness of this band is something unique. Some parts really remind me of the early Ulver, whilst the use of mellowtron in some parts remind of early prog bands.
Absolutely magnificent. This is pure art in the most truest sense. What an experience.
Merci Alcest. Merci beaucoup.
I must bow before the sheer magnificence, heart and soul of this music. Neige and Alcest are artists, and their music is the essence of their artistry.
alcest is the name of the band
Now I can die with a smile on my face. Jesus bless Niege.
Jesus? Kek

0:00-9:09 love this part
I love alcest so much. They're spiritually fulfilling. Also miyazaki is awesome and it's magical that alcest wrote a song about the little forest spirits from it.
Kodama are spirits from the japanese folklore, not something invented by miyazaki (even though his rendition was a masterpiece).
I used to listen to this a lot while in Public transport a few years ago. Such a beautiful album. Can't believe i 'forgot' about this.
This deservers so much praise. Damn.
"Winter's Gate" on 23rd and "Kodama" on 30th. Holy hell. This year's autumn is turning out to be the best eargasmic season in a long long time.
exact
Woah, a new Insomnium as well? :O I feel even more spoilt now. There's also a new Poets of the Fall album coming out on the 30th (different genre of music so probably not something folks here would listen to but another one of my favourites, so it's gonna be a triple good end of September for me!)
New Opeth on 30th too :)
You all should check out the new album "Eternal" by An autumn for crippled children too. And to add on, Dark Tranquillity's song "The Pitiless" from their new album "Atoma" hits the streets today.
you just listed all the bands I was about to list! haha
5:29 - 7:04
I love this part so much!
Very powerful part indeed
Wow. I love the atmosphere of this song. ❤
Exactly what i was about to say.
....Is that a violin youre holding? im a beginner self taught violinist. would really help me out if you could check my progress videos in my channel and comment down anything im doing wrong. thanks!
Chris Wass Haha, I'm a beginner too! And of course! I will check out your videos. :)
Thanks, andrea. criticizing me would really help me improve my playing. We could be like a violin buddies.... lol
Vaya vaya... Quién diría que te encontraría por estos rumbos, Andrea... Te tengo agregada en Face xD
Andrea María Arias i love
i think of this song as quietly brilliant there is structure but it feels effortless and smooth with how good it is as if they composed and just let it flow without predetermined buildup or climax kind of like life in its purest form
This song brings tears to my eyes every time. Top notch artistry 👏🏾
These lyrics really resonate with me
Alcest always lift your spirits, great band, great song, great album
Beauty personified!! Utterly gorgeous. The most perfect band around.
This song is so god damn powerfull, it was just amazing to listen to it live at concert!
Meadows at Night I want to see them live so badly!!!! I hope I get the chance
Meadows at Night Also, I checked out your channel real quick and will definitely make sure to listen to your music later, seems interesting :)
Was lucky to see them last year at Rockharz Open Air. They played as the very last band, most people allready left, but still it was one of the best concerts I haver ever seen.
In my opinion the best song from the album
Nop
Onur Bedirhan Kıranşal he clearly said opinion u dumb fucking piece of ignorant croissant
So what? In my opinion it is not? We just told our opinions kid?
"In my opinion the best song from the album"
"Nop" (you spelt "Nope" wrong btw)
This means you are telling the person that no, that isn't their opinion, NOT that you disagree with their opinion but they're still welcome to it.

Which part Sylvaine sings?
4:11 - 5:25 it's beautiful.
Yes, its true
1:58 too
You just introduced me to a new band! Thank you sir. Will listen to them for the first time soon.
Just amazing, spirit of nature flowing through the Alcest´s music!!
This is extraordinary. Alcest stole my heart 3 days ago in Guadalajara. I love them. They were amazing, and so nice and friendly with their fans. They are awesome!!!!!!!!
Alcest being Alcest...this is so perfect!
Absolutely beautiful music, one that takes us far beyond this form of life indeed!!!
everytime im having a bad day, i just listen to this song and everything gets better Merci beaucoup Alcest!
How can 95 people dislike this. This song is so magical and just perfect.
Michael Pappas Probably because they just don’t like the sound of anything “different”. They’re French, so maybe that’s it. I love em.
I love this band more than I love myself.
I feel this hard. This song marks a huge transition. It's so damn iconic.
It sounds deeply hurting... What an amazing drum!
HARIKA AGA
@@lovessorrow948 Ekim'de gidebilsem keşke
Good music doesn't get enough credit, absolutely BEAUTIFUL.
Couldn't agree more!
Who would've thought gibberish and vocal improvisation could be so beautiful
This guys can control the atmosphere , the wind, the oxygen level, its was an out of world experience seeing them live!!!
3:41 - 4:12 I swear I was expecting to evolve into something more heavier with blast beast and then that part came....such a great song!! and then what it comes next....This band is so special... it makes you feel so relaxed and calm.

4:13 - 5:10 cry every time
Mi too 😢
the divine resonance that is ALCEST . Damn i have to go and see these hippies live man .Luuurrrvvve it !!
kodama and melting sun are the best "soft" metal albums of this decade
omg you are right
Plini - Electric Sunrise
Scale the Summit - The Migration
Cloudkicker - Let yourself be huge
Alcest - Kodama
@@ryukan250 ty I'll check these out
i can't get enough of that melody at 1:45, just magical
I love the sound of truly unique music in the midnight
What should I say, I don't have any words to describe..!!
It's like Ayahuasca trip on metal. Well, Alcest you are the best metal band I've ever seen in my entire life...! You are awesome. 😘
This Band is incredible and this album is up their with their best.
Perfection of the art.
Every time.
Thanks for the emotions Alcest.
This song is a masterpiece.
Oh my god of thunder, there's another Enel and he likes Alcest too 😮
@@YannickTMessiah wow that's crazy 😆🍻
Lol
4:12 to 5:13. All the feelings I have in one passage.
Hell yes. This part flows as the wind, beautifully.
Gosh, every track on this new album has been awesome! This one's so dreamy, makes me think of someplace really lovely ^_^
JadePenguin like Burton on Trent or Grimsby maybe
I discovered this band with this album. Took my a while to get used to the style, but probably in my 3 top favorite bands ever. What a unique sound. I love it.
One of My favorite Alcest albums
Sitting here watching this, never realized how beautiful and intricate the album art is.
What a beauty at 4:11!
4:11-5:10 It is so full of light. Indescribable. Una verdadera joya.
With everything going on in the world right now I always come back to this track as a reminder of simpler times
Saw them in Kyiv last night. Great concert!
Amazing Song and album and band
Saw Alcest live yesterday at the Bangalore open air. Excellent set list, mostly from Kodama and Souvenirs.... Managed to get a selfie with Neige and an autograph too 😊
Second comment. Different day, different listen. This song fucks.
The universe is impressed
Did you ever read the Divine Comedy? I guess the sensation that Dante tries to explain when he says he had experience of God must be very close to the one I feel when that guitar enters in the middle of the seventh minute. Absolute masterpiece!
Felt like Asia x Alan Parsons x Rush. Loved it, and so atypical.
I always felt, Alcest's sound is for a court, I imagine myself sometimes entering a palace when I'm listening to Alcest... LOTR style =)
Seelie or Unseelie?
What a band... Excellent music
i watched these guys this weekend and they are absolutely bliss.
This is incredible.
This is just ridiculously good. I'm not saying I disliked your previous album, but damn I love this so so much more.
One of the greatest tributes to Miyazaki and Japanese Anime.i cried listening to this.
The drums on this album are really spot on
Never heard this band before but got this album and it is really good.
This song is really beatufiul. Really dark and melancholic. I really love this band @ Argentina.
Que sí, que la canción es la hostia, pero es que llega el 7:05 y es aún mejor, son increíbles estos gabachos, de verdad gracias a la madre de Neige por parirlo
01:44 _ _ Pure eargasm
Alcest is BEAUTIFUL
The music you listen to when you're supposed to be in bed for two hours.
I'm so in love with this. Absolutely beautiful.
Bonjour.
J' aime beaucoup ce morceau même si je suis amateurs de musique classique et de.musiques anciennes.
Ce morceau est très bien construit au niveau des différentes voix et le schéma mélodique est très bien construit.
Dont remember how i got here because im smoking good weed right now but this song is dope AF and im happy i found a new band that im gonna start listening to :)
This is definitely a go-to band to listen while high, proven.
ok weedheads, the only drug i need is happiness, nd im high on life!

Wow, this was beautiful.
I love rare gems like Alcest ..
Gonna see them in two weeks with Mono & pg.lost and cannot fucking wait.
Hell yes \m/ So excited for this release. "Kodama" is really going to be something else...
Beautiful.
This is a masterpiece... awesome!!

Thank you, Neige!
Beautiful mixtures. The depressive element is so beautiful in this song!!!
SiriusB88 I think it's awesome how differently the song comes across to different people. You say depressive, I find it rather uplifting.
don't know if anyone else hears it but around 5.40, reminds me of tool. awesome song
so stoked for this!!!!!!!
Such divine music
Esta canção é um verdadeiro aprendizado para apreciarmos uma ótima música.
Something to listen to forever
yes, you are right.
This is a fantastic album :)
These guys are going to be my new Opeth. I am gonna be obsessed by them!
Marush Denchev they are sooo good. Have you cheked the latest album? It’s amazing
Love those guitar harmonics on 03:41

Great song, great band, happy 2017 from Poland
