Avignon, France (2004 – 2009)
Organic metal from Avignon, France, led by Neige (also in Alcest, Lantlôs, Old Silver Key, ex-Mortifera, ex-Peste Noire, ex-Phest, live-Les Discrets and live-Empyrium), Fursy Teyssier (also in Les Discrets, ex-Phest and live-Alcest), Audrey Sylvain (also in Peste Noire and ex-Alcest) and Winterhalter (also in Alcest, Les Discrets and ex-Peste Noire). The music combines the early/mid-90’s black metal sound with elements 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. In March of 2009, the group decided to split.
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.

I love Amesoeurs, but boy are they just about the most overrated musical formation around.

They played Gas in Veins on the first gig... don't know if there'll be more on the upcoming ones.

They're probably going to play "Au Crépuscule de Nos Rêves" live, given that Neige, Fursy, and Winterhalter made up 3/4ths of Amesoeurs, and there are no female vocals from Audrey Sylvain on that song anyway.

Just a rumor, okay ? Amesoeurs is maybe going to make some apparition on the Alcest/Les Discrets tour.

I don't think they'll be reuniting. They split because they had different music directions.

Oh sorry, I meant the english biography. This is what was there, but it has since been removed: http://www.last.fm/music/Amesoeurs/+wiki?ver=46

I heard Neige and Audrey broke up quite some time ago. At the time the Amesoeurs album was released, I think.

I doubt Amesoeurs is ever going to reunite. I'm not even sure I'd want them to. They left us with two beautiful releases (not counting the split w/ Valfunde) and it would be a shame and genuine disappointment if they released a record that didn't meet up to our expectations. I'm listening to Ruines Humaines and the s/t as we speak; I still can't wrap my mind around their genius.

I've just had some confirmation that the reunion is not actually true. I'm a bit gutted but to be honest new Les Discrets in Feb and the new Alcest just out is ridiculously good - so we're not going to go without.

if i was Neige's girlfriend, man i would so have been jealous of Audrey! such a voice! i totally feel where that jealousy would have come from...

It can be just unconfirmed rumor. I didn't find an official statement, but an information about reunion and a new album in 2013 appears on several pages.

Ok, I didn't find that bio, perhaps my last.fm is different or something, perhaps I completely missed it, but where is that info? I highly doubt their return, but, man, if that happened, I would probably just go berserk, screaming, haha!

The bio says that they reunited in December.

ThomasWurmli wrote:
It was never really confirmed that that was the reason for their split. I tend to assume that it is/was, indeed, a problem, with Audrey Sylvain, but I'm more inclined in assuming their political views and ideological grounds were different, and that eventually led to the band's collapse.
