They started out as a traditional black metal band but moved away from it after their demo, so that's where the association comes from. Their debut album Souvenirs d'un Autre Monde is closer to shoegaze but their last album Écailles de Lune had some black metal influences seeping back in. They're closer to post-rock/post-metal these days rather than black metal but still retain some BM traits.

it's just pure shoegazer with distortion

Shoegaze bands use distortion too you know. Wouldn't say Alcest are pure shoegaze though.
