speaking of intensity and explosive show-endings, #Alcest wrapped up their main set last night at Metro with “Oiseaux de proie” and anyway I think Winterhalter is my new favorite drummer now

I'm on a new server for 2025, so let me redo my #introduction
- my name is Arctaxia or Arctax or Arctic (in order of preference. i'd recommend calling me Arctaxia in formal situations and the other two for all else)
- i'm an amateur illustrator and linux user with some web development knowledge (no JS though, which I also try to avoid using unless absolutely necessary, mostly because I don't know it yet)
- Worldbuilding project = Cyber Anima, which explores the world surrounding KDE Valley, and tries to expand on it and bring it to life in an oddly introspective way
- I used to be on Google+ (underage, even, which was crazy). I was arcticlunar15.
- the server I started Fedi with was toot.garden - even though it's vanilla mastodon, the moderation team is wonderful :)
other interests:
- dreampop, shoegaze, and shoegaze metal (think Slowdive, Alcest, My bloody valentine; some non-shoegaze bands I also listen to are Smashing Pumpkins and Radiohead)
- I have two sonas, a hisuian zorua/zoroark, and a mantled beast (formally a Cyber Jackal) that lives in the Cyber Anima universe
- i like software/foss mascots; they're fun to draw, and I will play any game that features them
- i've gained an interest in Studio Ghibli lately, so you may notice its influence in my newer illustrations
I'm really shy with new people and have low social energy, so I'm sorry if I take a while to reply to you. I might also vent in follower only posts sometimes (with proper cw), so beware of that
My discord is arctaxia if you want to find me there, but my DMs are closed

Mantled BeastsMantled BeastsMantled Beasts by: Honeymoss
So #alcest played in my town and I missed them. Is there anyone here who can tell me about their Europe gigs? Did they play the older stuff? The good stuff?
Because I must admit I‘ve rarely been so disappointed in a new album as in Les Chants de l‘Aurore. Lost for words really, only disbelief at the lack of musical enthusiasm. Pure harmony, indeed. So many elegies of, like, 3 chords. Towards the end of each song, they all sound the same (except for the one with the drumset in it). 45 minutes of self-complacency. I mean I get where the inspiration comes from, but… 8 whole songs of this? Why? 
Did I miss something? What happened here? I’m lost.

Yay, new #CD this time the ten year anniversary of Alcest's Les Voyages De L'âme. I should have paid more attention to the dimensions of the package though, I'd assumed it was about standard CD case size, but no, this isn't going to fit on the usual shelf. Grumble.

ALCEST's NEIGE Debates Why Heavy Music Needs To Sound 'Dark': 'The Ultimate Provocation Is To Make Metal Sound Uplifting'
By David E. Gehlke ALCEST's rise from relative mid-2000s obscurity to becoming arguably the second most popular French metal band behind GOJIRA has been one of plain old sticktoitiveness.
