Coming Soon - Alcest / Angmar Split

Cover for Angmar's 'Aux Funeraille Du Monde' from their split with Alcest cover for Alcest's 'Tristesse Hivernale' from their split with Angmar

German label Northern Silence will be releasing the CD version of Angmar and Alcest’s split CD, "Aux Funérailles Du Monde / Tristesse Hivernale."  Northern Silence has samples from both artists’ contributions, and if the Alcest sample is any indication, "Tristesse Hivernale" is a huge leap in the black metal direction compared to the sound on the band’s shoegaze-metal masterpiece "Souvenirs d’Un Autre Monde." 

Due to an unfortunate mixup between Northern Silence, Alcest mainman Neige and Alcest’s label Prophecy Productions, the album’s production run had to be reduced from the planned 3000 copies to the current number of 500.  This of course means that you’d better grab these while you can - I’d bet that Aquarius Records will get their hands on a few, but copies will be disappearing pretty fast.  You can preorder the album directly through Northern Silence, which might be the best way to guarantee yourself a copy.
