FROM ALCEST:
Hey there,

Today was the first day off I had since we started the recordings almost 3 weeks ago. We rented a car and went away in the Icelandic nature, taking advantage of the mindblowing landscapes and relaxing. We really needed this ! At the moment drums, guitars, bass and a part of the vocals are done. Billie from Promise And The Monster was here a few days ago to record her parts, everything went great. The album takes shape slowly but surely...
Getting ready for Iceland, the island with the most monumental and desolate landscape I have seen. Very excited to record some cinematic blackgaze/metal at the Sundlaugin studio with Alcest.
With light, N


Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
