Alcest - Hellfest 2022 -

[@tuliocosta3973]

This definitely should become a live album. The sound is amazing!

[@ThatCologneGuy]

Agreed.

[@TheMattShingler]

It would save me from having to come back here every few days, cuz I can't stop listening to this!

[@gabrielttt]

nossa..com certeza cara

[@jaimemontano2674]

Totally agree

[@stemcellphone]

They fixed some phasing issues with the drums. The livestream sounded good, but this sounds much better.

[@DudeWatIsThis]

First time I saw these guys: >Beginning of the concert: "Huh, this is kinda slow and boring..." >End of the concert: **T-posing while floating 10 cm above the ground, light coming out of my eyes and mouth**

If you don't tell me it's a festival, I can assure you that Art Concert adjusted everything so that Alcest is the best-sounding band in the whole festival, almost like it's exclusive to them! Outstanding quality!

[@yysh]

Fan d'Alcest depuis sa formation, le riff de fin d'oiseaux de proie me fout toujours autant les frissons. Vous savez pas à quel point votre musique m'a aidé à passer des moments pas faciles et je crois qu'elle m'accompagnera toute ma vie; une véritable magie à l'oeuvre. Je pense en particulier à Delivrance que j'écoutais chaque jour à l'hopital et qui me rendait si serein malgré la situation......

[@YeeVeeX]

Every time I come back to listen 1 song, I end up watching the full concert again. It's so good.

[@mikecrosoft]

This band changed my life

[@paulbatum]

One of the most talented song writers of all time, Neige sings like an angel and screams like he's touched the oblivion that waits for us all. Winterhalter is so fucking good, and Zero and Indria are awesome. Shot, lit, edited with incredible care, and the sound engineering is unbelievably good! Thank you EVERYONE that contributed to this recording. Special shout out for Oiseaux de proie - I love this song and this is the best version of it I've ever heard \m/

[@camilaguedes5657]

Your definition about the way Neige sings is absolutely perfect

[@TheMetalGaia]

Couldn't agree more, Neige is a genius and a wonderful human we are all blessed to hear.

[@jonneziengs]

I'm listening to the show, and I'm very pleasantly surprised.. what I don't agree with however is your description of how this man sings. The screams are awesome but the clean singing is not at all angelic. Awesome show and I will defo go see them.

[@paulbatum]

@@jonneziengs I doubt that either of us really know what an angel sounds like :) it’s called poetic license - the point is the incredible contrast in Alcest’s music. I wish you all the best in your discovery of their music, regardless of how we choose to describe it.

[@brianlauren5618]

Does anyone know to what extent this performance has been technologically enhanced? How true is it to the real deal?

[@MelancholicSerenade]

Alecst is one of the best recommendations that I've ever gotten from any person in my life. Much love from 🇵🇰

[@nebyuelias5222]

Alcest. Calling them a phenomenal band is a criminal understatement. Ranging from the metaphysical themes they often revisit carried by a language too sacred for anyone's sake to the myriad of emotions they effortlessly convey through their seraphic musical compositions, Alcest have proved themselves to be one of the best bands of this era. There is something different about them. It is like they know something about this world that none of us do. Listening to them made me feel things I've never felt in a thousand lifetimes. I love this band.

[@lawsonteixeira7536]

🎯 é exatamente o que penso. 👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏽🤘🏽🇧🇷

[@EmreGeçer-f8p]

[@cailynnwang1046]

can’t agree more

[@david_2490]

I like how you love this band and totally agree 🎸

[@wychwoodmusic]

You gotta appreciate how Neige has managed to clone himself to pull off the harmony vocals and overlapping screams, as well as thickening up the guitar sound. Seriously, though, second guitarist/singer has mad talent too, and I definitely spent the first 10 min of the video trying to figure out if they were cutting between two guys or just back and forth to Neige from different angles

[@welldonegentlemen]

That drumsound! Winterhalter nails it with his organic playing. Class

[@mrizal4233]

Truly spiritual moment in this concert for the people who attended

[@KSN]

It was bro 😇

[@TSkateT666]

definetly

[@VexLosers]

Agreed, especially the ending which is basically a full-on spiritual revelation

[@Hipp0campus_1]

@@VexLosers Saw them on their tour with Kaelan Mikla playing pretty much the same set as here. And yes, Delivrance totally sent me in some kind of meditative state. They could have faded out the song for 2 hours and I wouldn't have noticed.

[@argontus]

@@Hipp0campus_1 the stage was basking in pure light, people in the audience slowly swaying in a trance, some weeping (I think I was bawling). even thinking about that moment sends chills up and down my spine. to end the gig in Delivrance, with that light & mist setup, is perfection. heaven on earth. I think that time we all could peek a little into that realm Neige has seen.

[@dfulg-7353]

Это музыка не для головы, это музыка для души. Шикарно!

[@Shauni3183]

Never seen such a well behaved audience in a metal concert. Can't blame them. When I watched Alcest live, by pure chance, I just stood on the spot, unable to do anything else.

[@TheAlex11880]

Agreed. I knew them before I saw them live the first time, but it's just such a mindblowing experience, you can' t help but just stand there and listen, doing nothing else.

[@pheli_tori]

Когда они уходили, я расплакалась... Эта группа - лучшее, с чем я сталкивалась в жизни.

[@CRLFNKL]

I remember seeing these guys open up for Opeth in Stockholm right after they had released Shelter and was absolutely blown away by the performance. This was my first introduction to the band and I had not heard them before. Bought the album, but the live performance was so unbelievably good that the album was rendered unlistenable afterwards. This concert brings me back to that night and I am so, so grateful for this upload. Thank you to the band and everyone involved. I think I am ready to listen to that album now.

[@leonardoaugustoaugusto8985]

[@hobojungle1]

Listen to Spiritual Instinct. My favorite from them, and the first three songs from this performance are on it.

[@cal9557]

[@postmitotic2164]

En effet, son de basse incroyable, juste comme il faut 👌

[@IllIMinatiBass]

Jesus... Such an immersive live video I've never seen before! Sound, lights work, operator work - just one continuous canvas of art! Thank you for this experience! (and of course it all won't work without Neige and Alcest)

[@lumiukkonen]

The sound quality on this recording is outstanding, as is the level of musicianship.

[@gastey-s4d]

Un groupe français incroyablissime aucun défauts que des qualités

[@Mike-hq2yb]

I feel like I understand Neige through his art far better than if we could have known each other for years. Its a place you don't get to with most people, even people you've known a long time, the real side. Its what makes art and music wonderful, an understanding of a deeper side of a person without words, really.

[@namanskaia]

Superbe live, merci @arte !! Grand groupe qui sait transmettre tellement d'émotions , entre douceur apaisante et déchirement mélancolique ! Leur musique évoque tellement d'images, merci pour ce voyage 🖤💫 !

[@scotmac5965]

That's me today.

[@ChrysthianChrisley]

Welcome, my friend.

[@sadibraiyan7158]

They sound just like studio. Neige is basically in his top tier form & the drummer is excellent 🇧🇩

[@tibosax]

Sounds like studio because it was re-mixed. The original sound was an absolute nightmare. It took half the set for the sound engineer to rebalance Neige's vocals and the drums, and even then, it was still crap. I'm a big fan of Alcest but I couldn't endure the whole set for how much of a disaster it was. It stayed on Arte Concert page for a day or so before it was removed, which I'm sure is because of the sound quality and mix. Now, I'm immensely impressed on how far whoever took it over managed to bring it. And I'm enjoying it a LOT. So I guess where I'm going with that is a word of caution: yes, the sound is fantastic, but it was re-worked a ton. Do not expect to get this kind of quality live.

[@HH-ys1pq]

@@tibosax Yeah I listened live and his voice was very shakey to say the least.

[@Jerseyboondocks]

​@@tibosaxbut isn't that a problem with the sound engineers instead of a problem with the band?

[@Jerseyboondocks]

​@@HH-ys1pqYeah, but when you look at the footage from this concert you see people swaying back and forth in the crowd and they're getting really good reactions. So if the sound was bad, how did they get good reactions I wonder?

@@Jerseyboondocksthe playback in live streaming is not exactly the same people listens live, the priority is the live audience so the sound engineers put the quality there and not on live stream
