Alcest is a French shoegazing (formerly black metal) band/musical project born in Bagnols-sur-Cèze, France, founded and leaded by Neige (Stéphane Paut). It began in 2000 as a black metal solo project by Neige, soon a trio, but following the release of their first demo in 2001, Aegnor and Argoth left the band, leaving Neige as the sole member.
