Hey all - it's Wilson from the Terrorizer office here.
Everybody at the office is getting really stoked for Damnation this weekend. We thought we would pick out our choice-cuts for the weekend and explain why we believe you should check out these killer bands.
First up I'm going to tell you why Alcest are well worth your time, keep your eyes peeled for further recommendations throughout the day.
ALCEST
Prepare yourselves for an ethereal voyage of other-worldly proportions. Alcest is the vision of former Peste Noire guitarist Neige. The Alcest live experience absorbs you into the depths of the fantastical unknown with minimal crowd interaction to detract from this hypnotic, mesmerising fusion of music and experience.
Current album 'Écailles de Lune' showcases Alcest's evolution from unadulterated frosty Burzum inspired black metal to spiritual, enchanting shoegaze. These sounds from another world will excite, capture, depress and haunt simultaneously. 'Ecailles de Lune' is a metaphor for how Noire dealt with his luminous visions in everyday life.
The Alcest experience cannot be captured in mere words and it is exactly this that makes Alcest compulsive viewing. Alcest were forged in the blackest forests and dipped in LSD-tickled cream whilst floating on an infinite cloud of rainbows and blinding light - this is one psychedelic trip that you will not forget.
