The return of the long-haired lotharios!

France’s acclaimed experimental metal duo Alcest have announced their triumphant antipodean return. The head-banging overlords are set to head back to Sydney on what is sure to be a blistering, uncompromised tour through our fair land, bringing with them a swathe of new material.

The band is well known for belting out a mix of crushing instrumentation and light, melodic choruses, making the group a truly enticing proposition. Better still, their new record, Kodama, is as boppable as it is brutal, so one can imagine it will be perfectly suited for the live setting.

Alcest play the Newtown Social Club on Thursday April 27. Tickets are available from Life Is Noise.
