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.
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.
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.
@@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 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.
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.
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
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!
"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 ;)
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.
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.
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 ❤💣💥🎸🔥
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.
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.
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!!!!!!!!
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.
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
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!
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 😊
I saw them on June 30 at a city nearby... Man, it was fabulous! Simply when they start the show, it seemed that all the Universe just stopped and there was no time or place, but only that moment. When they played that very riff at 4:11 to 5:09, I felt my soul practically leaving my body! HAHAHA.
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.
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

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

Excellent!

@@alexanderhernandez641 lmao at your comment! He can listen to whatever the fuck he wants. So... you're the one that should fuck off
@UCjXVMR-eaKq1Fe_zF5fVaeQ Well, looks like he did fuck off cause I can't seem to find a comment asking BMP to fuck off
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..
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.
Merci Alcest. Merci beaucoup.
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.
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.

Winter's Dusk In Mistful Abyss II very nice comment
Absolutely magnificent. This is pure art in the most truest sense. What an experience.
0:00-9:09 love this part
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
Now I can die with a smile on my face. Jesus bless Niege.
Jesus? Kek
@@uro8304 yes JESUS CHRIST problem? No ok.
@@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 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
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).
These lyrics really resonate with me
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

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
5:29 - 7:04
I love this part so much!
Very powerful part indeed
Alcest always lift your spirits, great band, great song, great album
This song brings tears to my eyes every time. Top notch artistry 👏🏾
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.
lrn2ingrish ;)
blivvy Ok
Beauty personified!! Utterly gorgeous. The most perfect band around.
"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!)

you just listed all the bands I was about to list! haha
Alcest being Alcest...this is so perfect!
Just amazing, spirit of nature flowing through the Alcest´s music!!
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.
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.
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

Good music doesn't get enough credit, absolutely BEAUTIFUL.
Couldn't agree more!
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 :)

Absolutely beautiful music, one that takes us far beyond this form of life indeed!!!
i can't get enough of that melody at 1:45, just magical
One of My favorite Alcest albums
Saw them in Kyiv last night. Great concert!
Perfection of the art.
Every time.
Thanks for the emotions Alcest.
This guys can control the atmosphere , the wind, the oxygen level, its was an out of world experience seeing them live!!!
I love the sound of truly unique music in the midnight
This Band is incredible and this album is up their with their best.
the divine resonance that is ALCEST . Damn i have to go and see these hippies live man .Luuurrrvvve it !!
everytime im having a bad day, i just listen to this song and everything gets better Merci beaucoup Alcest!
What a band... Excellent music
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.
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 song is a masterpiece.
Oh my god of thunder, there's another Enel and he likes Alcest too 😮
@@YannickTMessiah wow that's crazy 😆🍻
Lol
Amazing Song and album and band
What a beauty at 4:11!

Sitting here watching this, never realized how beautiful and intricate the album art is.
With everything going on in the world right now I always come back to this track as a reminder of simpler times
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
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.
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
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 😊
This is incredible.
This song is really beatufiul. Really dark and melancholic. I really love this band @ Argentina.
Second comment. Different day, different listen. This song fucks.
The universe is impressed
4:13 - 5:10 cry every time
Mi too 😢
4:11-5:10 It is so full of light. Indescribable. Una verdadera joya.
This is just ridiculously good. I'm not saying I disliked your previous album, but damn I love this so so much more.
The drums on this album are really spot on
Alcest is BEAUTIFUL
i watched these guys this weekend and they are absolutely bliss.
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.
What an amazing song... it feels so damn good to listen to this, while I dream I´m flying
Never heard this band before but got this album and it is really good.
4:12 to 5:13. All the feelings I have in one passage.
Hell yes. This part flows as the wind, beautifully.
I'm so in love with this. Absolutely beautiful.
One of the greatest tributes to Miyazaki and Japanese Anime.i cried listening to this.
great album, i love every fucking album of this band! unique
I love rare gems like Alcest ..
Wow, this was beautiful.
Gonna see them in two weeks with Mono & pg.lost and cannot fucking wait.
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?
don't know if anyone else hears it but around 5.40, reminds me of tool. awesome song
Drums in this song are killer!!!!!!!!!
Great song, great band, happy 2017 from Poland
Thank you, Neige!
Beautiful.
Something to listen to forever
yes, you are right.
1 minute in and Im flying freely to wonderful places
This is a masterpiece... awesome!!

Ce morceau est très bien construit au niveau des différentes voix et le schéma mélodique est très bien construit.
Hell yes \m/ So excited for this release. "Kodama" is really going to be something else...
Such divine music
Thanks for gig in Riga!
Love those guitar harmonics on 03:41
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
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
What Music! What Art! Salute!
