French atmospheric metal pioneers ALCEST have officially announced the release of their long-awaited first live album, Live At Hellfest 2022, set for release on 4th December via Nuclear Blast Records.

Captured during a spellbinding appearance at one of heavy music’s most revered gatherings, Live at Hellfest 2022 stands as a monument to the group’s transcendent live presence. The performance seamlessly weaves together evocative fan favourites spanning their entire career prior to 2022 - tracing an emotional trajectory from their groundbreaking 2007 debut Souvenirs d'un autre monde through to 2019's acclaimed Spiritual Instinct.

To mark the announcement, ALCEST have unveiled the album’s first single, 'Protection (Live At Hellfest 2022)'. Listeners can stream the audio track now or experience the intense live performance video here: https://youtu.be/ofRgjwCBuRM

About ALCEST:
For principal songwriter and frontman Neige, ALCEST has always been a gateway to the otherworldly, a means of exploring his spirituality. An elemental two-piece, completed by long-serving drummer and creative confidante Winterhalter, ALCEST seem to dip their toes in a multitude of musical genres without ever quite fitting in. “In the metal scene ALCEST is a weird band, in the indie/post-rock scene ALCEST is a weird band - we never quite fit in,” Neige reflects. “This is how I feel in life, always an outsider; It’s not a problem, it’s just the way it is.”

ALCEST are:
Neige | vocals, guitars, bass, synths
Winterhalter | drums
