kokoon Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 this is really beautiful music, just the right mixture of black metal and shoegaze. i guess i'll have this on repeat until the spring finally comes. also, i've been meaning to recommend Alcest, so this is the perfect opportunity - a guy named Neige plays in both.

Guest beatfanatic Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Amesoeurs sounds pretty epic never thought black metal and shoegaze would make a good combom I am on a huge shoegaze kick lately , been listening to a lot of slowdive for the last couple of days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 never thought black metal and shoegaze would make a good combom i found they work hand in hand. thanks for the recommendation kokoon. these guys are amazing! i'll have to get hold of some of their stuff. shoegaze metal seems to be taking off quite nicely, it's a good thing that's what i've been making lately!

kokoon Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 great, i'm glad you guys dig. what about Alcest? his first demos were black, but now he's gone totally shoegaze (with a pinch of metal) - the last youtube clip i posted is from the album "Souvenirs d'un Autre Monde" - it's really really good.

berndspring1974 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 yup, great band. "bonheur amputè" from from their EP "Ruines Humaines" is the best bm-track i heard in the last 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokoon Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 well definitely check out that album. if you just want to sample it, most (if not all) tracks are up on youtube (but pretty low quality, like the one i posted) yup, great band. "bonheur amputè" from from their EP "Ruines Humaines" is the best bm-track i heard in the last 10 years. i'll definitely check out that ep. such a shame they just disbanded.

Guest my usernames always really suck Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 these songs are pretty hit-or-miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I really liked the EP, but I've not really listened to the album much. (Amesoeurs that is). I remember that Alcest album being pretty cool, the guy really dropped most of the black metal sound, but it sneaks back in every now and then, and sounds thuggin' awesome when it does.

essines Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 downloaded the full length, and i'll probably go buy it. crazy mix of some straight up shoegaze, straight up black metal, female vocals and a blend of all. delightful. very shitty to hear they broke up. and now that i think of it, shoegaze offers great atmosphere and lends itself quite well to black metal.

Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 this sounds intriguing. I will most probably be checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modey Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 if nene becomes a fan of black metal my life will be complete and i'll probably dissolve into pure being. hahah, i think that way about my girlfriend. all i have to do is get her into black metal and teach her how to scream like attila, zole. i'm halfway there, she likes this stuff and nazxul and the more atmospheric stuff like ulver.

essines Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 my girlfriend likes dimmu borgir and naglfar and even rotting christ (aslong as i don't tell her it's rotting christ). she also loves opeth and adores Finntroll. she basically is a metalhead. on a related note, she digs on BoC, snares, aphex twin, and basically whatever i like. it's probably the biggest turn on ever and that makes me more nerdy than fucking planetoid and joyrex combined. so my advice is try on some opeth for her, start with damnation or some of the lighter songs and then slowly introduce the harder stuff, works like a charm.
