Last year, influential French \u201cblackgaze\u201d duoALCEST <\/strong>released their sixth studio album ‘Spiritual Instinct’<\/strong> through Nuclear Blast. <\/strong>Warmly-received by press and fans alike, the album scored the band their highest chart position in several countries, including Germany (#12) and Switzerland (#30). 
\n
\nToday, the band presents an alternate version of their haunting track ‘Protection<\/strong>‘, remixed by longtime CHELSEA WOLFE<\/strong>collaborator Ben Chisholm. <\/strong>The song was included alongside two other tracks on the bonus EP that was only available with deluxe versions of ‘Spiritual Instinct<\/strong>‘, but is now being made available digitally for the first time.

\nOn the new single, founder Neige<\/strong> comments: “It was a real pleasure for us to have ‘Protection’<\/strong> remixed by the multi-instrumentist and producer Ben Chisholm<\/strong> (known for being the close collaborator of CHELSEA WOLFE<\/strong>). His take on the song left us speechless as he gave it his very own style; a totally new sound, atmosphere and structure. We absolutely loved his approach.”
\n
\n“It was an honor to be invited to reimagine ‘Protection’<\/strong>. The melodies and changes are so strong, it was a pleasure to work with. I have the utmost respect for ALCEST<\/strong>, so it’s really special to be connected to their legacy, and especially to this fantastic album.”<\/em> – Ben Chisholm<\/strong>

\nRecorded at French Drudenhaus Studio<\/strong> with Beno\u00eet Roux<\/strong> and written in bursts both during and after a prolonged period of touring in support of 2016’s hugely successful ‘Kodama,’<\/strong> the new and very cathartic album is leading the blackgaze pioneers into dark soundscapes. The artwork was once again designed by F\u00f8rtifem<\/strong>.
