Solo project of Neige. As a child, Neige had dreams about a "Fairy Land", "a place with colours, forms and sounds that do not exist here." The music of Alcest is highly influenced by these dream experiences.

Starting out playing raw black metal, Alcest soon evolved into metal with strong post-rock and shoegaze influences.

The band's name Alcest doesn't have any meaning, Neige just chose it ...
