The French band ALCEST, pioneers of “blackgaze” and one of the most evocative acts in modern metal, return to present their new album “Les Chants de L’Aurore,” a sonic journey that explores light and spirituality through their characteristic fusion of ethereal beauty and heart-wrenching power. The event will take place on October 10th at the Sala Apolo in Barcelona as a single performance in Spain.
Since their debut with “Souvenirs d’un Autre Monde” back in 2007, ALCEST has blurred the boundaries of black metal, creating a universe where fragility and aggression coexist in perfect harmony. After the pandemic, their new album marks a return to the band’s original essence, transporting the listener to a state of reverie and inner exploration.
This time, they will be accompanied on this tour by the guest band BRUIT, one of the most impressive bands in contemporary post-rock. Emerging from the underground scene, their music, which combines orchestral elements, sonic experimentation, and a deep conceptual commitment, has been acclaimed for its ability to transport the listener to immersive and cinematic soundscapes. With their new album “The Age of Ephemerality,” recorded in a church in Toulouse, BRUIT continues to challenge convention with a sound that balances delicacy and forcefulness, offering a musical experience that transcends labels.
