Album Review: Spiritual Instinct by Alcest

Alcest’s Spiritual Instinct is a stunning blend of ethereal beauty and raw intensity, showcasing the band’s signature fusion of post-black metal and shoegaze. Released in 2019, the album feels deeply personal and spiritual, drawing listeners into a world where darkness and light coexist in perfect harmony.

Tracks like “Protection” and “Sapphire” balance ferocious riffs and blast beats with soaring, melodic passages, while songs such as “L’Île des Morts” immerse the listener in dreamy, otherworldly soundscapes. Neige’s emotive vocals and poetic lyrics add layers of depth, making the album feel both introspective and transcendental.

With Spiritual Instinct, Alcest refines their craft, delivering an emotionally charged journey that is as haunting as it is uplifting. A must-listen for fans of atmospheric, genre-defying music.
