citation :The_Philosopher says : Alcest isn't depressing music at all. it's just mixture of Black Metal, Post Punk and Sheogaze with very slightly elements of Depressive music and it's quite beautiful music, very beautiful. but there are many bands/projects, which sounds really depressive. for example Eohl, Through The Pain, Thy Light, Silencer, Cold World, Death Aura and so on. |
ah. a bit of genre confusion there. i haven't listened to much
Black Metal, to be honest. however, i have very rescently started listening to
Gorgoroth and am liking them much more than i thought i would. i just checked out
Silencer and
ColdWorld, the first of which seems almost surrealist (at least by their videos), and the second of which actually sounds to me a lot like
Alcest, just with a bit of screaming added :P
