.Alcestofficial fuses black-metal dissonance with alt-rock guitar orchestration for SpiritualInstinct
Like so many young people who turn to music, Stephane Paut -- the frontman and driving force behind French metal outfit -- felt profoundly out of place growing up in Bagnols-sur-Ceze, a town of fewer than 20,000 inhabitants located at the edge of the French region of Provence. Paut , who goes by the stage name Neige , chuckles when he describes his hometown.beautiful. It’s gorgeous, like a postcard. But the city is really, reallyinteresting at all.
For one, despite how out of step he has felt since childhood, Paut didn’t form Alcest as a vehicle to express rage. While he empathizes with Norwegian black-metal musicians who draw inspiration from their natural surroundings, Paut comes across more like an animist — a deeply contemplative Thoreau-like figure exalting the life force in all things — than someone who ever wore corpse paint and drew pentagrams in the woods.
But unlike the nightmarish afterworld played up by countless metal artists, Paut remains comforted by what he saw on the “other side” -- even if he felt isolated in his inability to find anyone with whom he could relate enough to discuss it. “It was,” he says, “the most beautiful and indescribable thing that you can imagine. It was beyond words. And I didn’t know what to do with it for many, many years.
