Avignon, France (2004 – 2009)
Organic, introspective metal from Avignon, France, led by Neige (also in Alcest, ex-Mortifera, upcoming Lantlôs and Phest). The music combines the early/mid-90’s black metal sound with moments of post-punk and female vocals.
During the summer of 2004, Amesoeurs was formed by Neige, Audrey Sylvain, and Fursy Teyssier (also of Les Discrets) with the purpose of creating music that reflects the dark side of the industrial era and modern civilization.
A few songs were immediately written and the band performed one gig. Shortly after, Fursy Teyssier decided to leave the band to go back to his studies. In April 2005, a first MCD entitled “Ruines Humaines” was recorded. Neige used two tracks (“Bonheur Amputé” and “Ruines Humaines”) he had originally composed for his depressive Black Metal project Mortifera, which he had just been leaving at the time. Amesoeurs sent the MCD to a few labels but had to wait 2006 to see its release through German label Northern Silence Productions. Amesoeurs has worked with the photographer Isabelle Hanssen for the pictures of “Ruines Humaines” and the graphic designer Fursy Teyssier so as to create a visual environment which perfectly suits the music.
The band released its one and only full length album on March 10, 2009, after which they disbanded.

Question to the owners of the LP (especially to those who own the golden vinyl): Does it seem to you that it's a "bad press"? Side A sounds like there's a popcorn-machine next to the speakers...

There is no shoegaze in any Amesoeurs. Alcest, yes, Amesoeurs, no. If you're confused as to which band you're listening to then you shouldn't be here in the first place. Just because Neige is in both doesn't mean they have to be the same genre, idiots.

no shoegaze in amesoeurs > listen to anything they've ever done. Shoegaze is more than just fuzz, people. The Chameleons were a huge influence on the s/t.

Audrey's voice... firstly I thought it sounds not really good, but actually that's one of its qualities, not perfect but very emotive and aerial
