Alcest is a French band created by Neige (also in Amesoeurs, Peste Noire and Forgotten Woods) in early 2000. He began writing songs on his own but a few months afterwards Argoth (bass) and Famine from Peste Noire (lead guitar) joined him and his solo project became a real band.
Just after the release of the first demo "Tristesse Hivernale", Alcest turned into a solo project again since Neige decided to change of direction and concept in order to explore more intimate themes.
