Since it's formation, Internal Harvest have self-released 3 CDs (each sounding leagues above the one before it), played a handful of infamous gigs and are focused on progressing even further. The latest release, "Exit Signs" is the epitome of everything this band has endeavoured to achieve via recording up to this point.
Alcest is a shoegaze / atmospheric black metal band formed in Bagnols Sur Cèze, France in 2000.
Formed by French multi-instrumentalist Neige (who has also worked with Amesoeurs, Mortifera, Lantlôs, Peste Noire, and more). Alcest was originally conceived as a solo project, though it would eventually take on the form of a full band as Hegnor (also of Peste Noire) and Arguth joined the fray and released a four-track demo entitled Tristesse Hivernale in 1999. This demo was a more straightforward black metal affair, much different from what would happen next.
