Alcest – Écailles De Lune
Label: Prophecy Productions – PRO 106 LP
Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition
Country: Germany
Released: Mar 2010
Style: Shoegaze, Black Metal
The second album by the pioneers of post-black metal
Three years after their genre-defining record “Souvenirs D’un Autre Monde”, Alcest return to the sound of black metal on their sophomore “Écailles De Lune”, but without forgetting any of their trademarks: calm passages, massive slabs of guitars, catchy melodies, and hook-lines going straight to the heart. “This time I was especially inspired by the seaside, the energy and the exaltation you can feel when you sit in front of the sea at night,” Neige tries to describe the album’s atmosphere. “It appears terribly fascinating, full of secrets and scary at the same time.”
Memories live within us all. We dream of our loved ones, of our experiences, and we even dream of dreams and other worlds. When Neige, the mastermind behind ALCEST, is dreaming his dream, the end result is so much more than fitful sleep. He lets us partake of his “Souvenirs d’un autre monde”, of the innocence of childhood, a personal Elysium – and this Elysium is radiant, emerald green, luscious, and all the fresher the deeper you immerse yourself in it.
“Écailles de Lune” is different, though, as ALCEST are moulding ambivalences on this album. “This story isn’t really a metaphor of death, as it would seem to be. For me, it is about a man who decides to leave one world for another one, literally. Like a passage to another reality, another state of existence,” Neige says about the album concept. “This time I was especially inspired by the seaside, the energy and the exaltation you can feel when you sit in front of the sea at night. It appears terribly fascinating, full of secrets and scary at the same time.”
Stylistically, Neige reverts to the sound of Black Metal that once shaped him: a picture of heart-rending, otherworldly screams, collages filled with passion and sadness, and the characteristic clean vocals. These mellow and ageless voices manage to weave a shroud of sorrow around the album. “Écailles de Lune” is like a dream, a manifesto of transience and human inferiority. For all the changes, Neige has kept all of his trademarks: calm passages, massive slabs of guitars, catchy melodies, and hook-lines going straight to the heart – all this once more delivers a convincing articulation of ALCEST’s unique style.
Close your eyes and dream along. This time, melancholy shall propel and unite us. We immerse ourselves once more in fairyland. This time, it doesn’t seem fresh but fallow. Its pallor and its shadows are unfathomable, and it reveals itself to us through our senses. It is always there when we quest for it.
Feindflug – Sterbehilfe EP
Label: Black Rain – BR 008, Black Rain – BLACK RAIN 008
Format: CD, EP
Country: Germany
Released: 10 Jun 2000
Style: Rhythmic Noise, EBM, Industrial
Feindflug’s music is entirely instrumental. The only vocals that can be heard are in samples, mostly taken from movies dubbed in German or excerpts of Adolf Hitler or Klaus Kinski.
The band is characterized by Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock and Isabella van Elferen as martial industrial and neo-folk, «negotiating the role of the past in the present.» Recurring themes and topics are authoritarian regimes, the death-penalty and total war, especially World War II and the Third Reich.
Critics have associated the band with the German Neo-Nazi scene, due to the themes presented in their music and their album cover graphics. The band-members oppose this critique and have stated that their music is intended as a reflection of the issues it describes, not as support.The band’s motto is «Use your brain and think about it!» Feindflug has stated that «any form of glorification/trivialization of the Second World War contradicts the intention of this project. Rather, it aims to make it clear that this era of history represents the beginning of a new technological warfare, in which the individual became/becomes the victim millions of times over» and that their goal is to «try to crush the taboo in Germany, since the war is a great part of the German history.
