I'm really digging these guys, but I don't understand how they are considered black metal. Anyone mind explaining what genre this band is?
They started as a black metal band, and as they evolved, they kind of introduced elements of other genres in their music. But on albums like Souvenirs d'un autre monde, you can still feel some black metal elements. But it's definitely not "just" black metal. There is some shoegaze in there, some post-rock... black metal of course and they are definitely an avant-garde band :)
But I can't give you a specific genre classification for Alcest. And I still haven't heard their new material. It's on my to do list!

Definitely sounds great :) I like it !
That's some more stuff I have to get... along with new Alcest album, Arch Matheos album (that I'm really digging, thanks to you guys for introducing me to this band!) and the album of this very good power metal band :)
