Following an extensive festival season last year and having just wrapped a South American tour, the French post black metal two-piece ALCEST have taken some time to reflect on their rich past as one of the world’s most visionary metal acts. Today, the band are proud to announce their ‘Écailles De Lune – 10th Anniversary Tour‘, which had previously been postponed several times. ALCEST’s second studio album was released in March 2010 to widespread acclaim, and the tour will honour this milestone in their impressive discography.
2023 will finally see the band on tour celebrating Ecailles De Lune alongside their special guests The Devil’s Trade.
