Amesoeurs are a French black metal / post punk / shoegaze band, and a side project of Neige.
They set off 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 is currently writing new songs for a full-length album. The musical style of Amesoeurs will develop towards something more powerful, electronic and depressive.
Amesoeurs will disband after the release of their first full-length.
