Alcest working on new, non-metal album - 07.27.2012


French shoegaze/metal outfit Alcest released the excellent Les Voyages de L'Ame earlier this year, yet this morning the band posted a report on Facebook that they're working on demos for a new album. In the update, songwriter/bandleader Niege has stated a change in dynamics with the new material: "I don't think there are any metal music elements anymore, though a lot of very intense parts and dynamics are still there. Things are just done in another way, and the core remains the same. That album will come back to the nostalgic side of Alcest, it's very dreamy, aquatic and a bit less progressive than the last two albums. Melodies are taking their time to grow, if you see what I mean."

The band is also planning to record in March at Sigur Rós' studios in Iceland. Fingers crossed for a Jonsi guest vocal.
