Where this album fits
- Career context
- By the time 'Shelter' was released in 2014, Alcest had established themselves as pioneers of the blackgaze genre with their previous album, 'Les Voyages de l'âme'. This marked a creative shift as they embraced more shoegaze elements, moving away from their heavier roots and exploring a dreamier soundscape. Their evolution reflected a broader trend within metal towards atmospheric and introspective music.
