Mora se priznati da Alcest mastermind Neige od 1999.kada je ovaj bend počeo s radom isporučuje prekrasne albume. Od black metal početaka, Alcest je prošao dugi put transformacije u ovo što sviraju danas. Ovaj novi opus sadrži 7 pjesama, u Alcest stilu malo podužih i epskih, a da nisu niti sekunde dosadne, već te slušajući odvedu u neki drugi svijet, drugu dimenziju, mračnu, a istovremeno prelijepu. Ovo je post black metal, sa doom, post rock i shoegaze utjecajima, Neigeov glas u kombinaciji s gitarama i synthevima, te pianom donosi predivne melodije koje te tjeraju da zatvoriš oči i uđeš u neku drugu dimenziju. Tekstovi pjesama su na francuskom, no to daje dodatnu draž i nekakvu melankoličnost i melodičnost svemu skupa. Vokal je uglavnom čist i melodičan, s povremenim izletima u black metal glas, pogotovo u odličnoj L’Envol, koja je jedan od mojih favorita na ovom opusu. Ima i malo bržih bubanjskih i agresivnijih dionica, kao što se može čuti na Komorebi koja otvara opus. Tu je i kratak, ali sladak instrumental Reminiscence, koji služi kao svojevrstan intermezzo. Moj najveći favorit na ovom opusu je odlična L’Enfant de la lune, ali sve stvari su odlične, ako volite ovakvu vrstu muzike, obavezno čekirajte ovaj album.

(review) Deafheaven – Infinite Granite
Deafheaven are back with their new full length opus! I must admit that I didn t pay much attention to these guys prior to this record, but I heard my friend talking praises about their music, so I decided to have a listen when this record came out. This is pure dreamy soundscape for darkened hearts and souls that love dark, love melancholy and love their post black metal and so called blackgaze. The music of Deafheaven incorporates pop, metal, indie rock and dark, dreamy passages and make it in a way that is accessible, pleasure to listen and make you feel sad, yet happy at the same time. Vocals are clean, also recalling that dreamy vibe in me as a listener, yet keeping me alert for something out of nightmare lurking behind corners of the derelict, abandoned city that I am wandering through carried by the music. This album is a personal experience, as in makers of music, also as listeners of music. Every person should experience this one in their own, unique way. That is what makes it so beautiful.
