I think you have to like shoegaze a lot and you have to like black metal a lot (ok maybe just an honest appreciation for it). If either of those things sound intolerable to you, I'm sure the band will as well.
For me, however, I love both genres and I think if there was a sound I could envision that beautifully combines the two without sounding like a gimmick, Alcest creates it.
