"Ecailles de Lune" is a captivating album by the French band Alcest, released in CD format by Prophecy Productions. This record marks a significant evolution in Alcest's sound, blending elements of black metal with dreamy shoegaze and post-rock atmospheres to create an ethereal musical journey. The album is renowned for its emotional depth and immersive storytelling, taking listeners through themes of dreams, nostalgia, and otherworldly landscapes. Alcest, formed by multi-instrumentalist Neige (Stéphane Paut), has been instrumental in pioneering the "blackgaze" genre?a fusion that has earned them international acclaim. Their previous works such as "Souvenirs d?un autre monde" have established them as innovators within modern metal music circles.
Prophecy Productions is a distinguished label known for supporting avant-garde artists across genres like dark folk, atmospheric metal, and experimental rock. With a reputation for high-quality releases and nurturing unique talents from around the globe, Prophecy Productions stands out as one of Europe?s leading independent labels dedicated to boundary-pushing music.
Ecailles de Lune is among the finest Alcest albums: the incredible mixture of black metal vocals and some instrumental parts with the melancholic prog rock and shoegaze is fantastic.
