From Souvenirs d'un autre monde (2007). Souvenirs d'un autre monde is the debut studio album by French post-black metal band Alcest, released on 8 August 2007. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster through a Marshall JVM410H, the rig we use for Alcest's other songs from Souvenirs d'un autre monde, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
