Even before this thread was made, Souvenirs d'un autre monde was on my list. I re listen to it quite often, but when doing my due diligence on including it I noticed that there was more Alcest (not paying much attention clearly) to be heard. While Kodama and Spiritual Instincts are great albums this one absolutely blew me away. A perfect blend of Black Metal and Shoegaze (horrifically dubbed blackgaze), everything Souvenirs promised us could be possible 3 years earlier. Stunningly beautiful.

3 Choice Tracks: Écailles de lune – Part 1, Écailles de lune – Part 2, Sur l'océan couleur de fer
I heard blackgaze though Ghost Bath and Harakiri for the Sky: is this similar? If so, I'll add it to my small list of blackgaze albums.
