Alcest‘s sixth studio album “Spiritual Instinct” has been scheduled for an October 25th release on Nuclear Blast. The band recorded the outing at Drudenhaus Studio with frontman Neige commenting:

“Alcest‘s 6th album is called ‘Spiritual Instinct‘ and will be released on the 25th of October on Nuclear Blast. The recording of ‘Spiritual Instinct‘ has been a long and challenging process, but we feel really proud of it and can’t wait to share our new music with all of you. - Advertisement - The artwork has been made by the Parisian duo Førtifem and represents a sphinx, as a reference to the symbolism art movement. The sphinx is the ultimate figure of the enigma, which embodies both the spiritual and feral sides inside us.”
