Alcest will release their new album Spiritual Instinct on October 25 and you can full-on expect the heaviness. The band has just released their new song "Protection" alongside a music video from Craig Murray (Mogwai, Blood Red Shoes), and both are equally kickass.
Here's what vocalist Neige had to say about the track.:
“‘Protection‘ is the first track I wrote for Spiritual Instinct. It’s probably one of our most heavy, spontaneous songs. It is about inner conflict, the tension between the spiritual and darker sides of a person, facing your own anguishes in order to embrace them and then fight them. Like the other tracks on the album, writing it was a very cathartic, healing process for me.”
