History Music / Amesoeurs

* MohsScaleOfLyricalHardness: Depending on how you read the lyrics, 6-9 to say the least, considering the band's dark and dark and depressing description of society.
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: They'll be jumping from 2-3 on "I XIII V XIX XV V XXI XVIII XIX - IX XIX - IV V I IV" and into a straight 9-10 when it came to "Trouble"... then back to 5-6 for "Video Girl". For the most part, the album usually stays around 7-8ish, though. "Video Girl" and "Amesoeurs" are probably the lightest full-length songs.
** The EP ''Ruines humaines'' goes to a 7 on average, due to how low the music is. However, it's more like the first two songs are in 8-9 territory while the last song mostly stays around about a 4 (the ending might reach 6 or 7 territory, but the rest of the song is so quiet that it's still probably at most a 5 overall).

Despite their small tenure, the band surprisingly enough had a huge impact within the [[GenreRoulette post-black metal]] scene, causing some musicians to [[FollowTheLeader follow their style]] which surprisingly [[TropesAreNotBad enough lead to decent sounding bands]], and even helped launch Neige's career with Music/{{Alcest}} even more than before, alongside with Fursy starting Les Discrets, Winterhalter joining Music/{{Alcest}} and Les Discrets (although he ended up leaving the latter in 2013 by mutual agreement with Fursy to focus on Alcest), and Audrey went forward to join Peste Noire (for a while, anyway).

* EpicRocking: The longest song off the album is "Recueillement, ticking 7 minutes long.
** "Au crépuscule de nos rêves" plays with this. The length says eleven minutes and sixteen seconds, but the song ends around five-thirtyish and there's silence until the near end, where we're hit with a [[HiddenTrack strange eletronic outro]].

** Although this isn't officially confirmed, it's likely that the ending of "Trouble (Éveils-infâmes)" is one to the ending of "[[Music/InTheCourtOfTheCrimsonKing 21st Century Schizoid Man]]" by Music/KingCrimson. Each song, which is already the heaviest on its respective album, devolves into [[LastNightmare utter cacophony]] with [[FakeOutFadeOut several false endings]] before transitioning straight into one of the quietest and most melodic songs on its respective album. The structure is similar enough to seem like a deliberate homage.

* DeliberatelyMonochrome: All their photos were taken in black and white.

* MoodWhiplash: After the soothing "I XIII V XIX XV V XXI XVIII XIX - IX XIX - IV V I IV" you get hit with the loudness "Trouble (Éveils-infâmes)". It's ''jolting'' to say the least.

** The EP ''Ruines humaines'' goes to a 7, due to how low the music is.

* SpokenWordInMusic: In "Reucuillement", there's spoken word from Markus Stock, vocalist of Empyrium (as well as the album's producer), as he recites the final part of Creator/CharlesBaudelaire's poem of the same name.

** Same could be said with ''Ruines humaines'', Neige does only two songs and Audrey does the final track.

* AuthorTract: Neige's love of poetry by Charles Baudelaire shows up here too with "Recuelliement", which contains the actual poetry written by him.

* BreatherEpisode: The track "I XIII V XIX XV V XXI XVIII XIX - IX XIX - IV V I IV" is a pure slow instrumental piano piece.
** ''Ruines humaines'' has "Faiblesse des Sens"

* CarefulWithThatAxe: Audrey can deliver some harsh shrieks out of nowhere during some songs. Neige has its moments, but during each album.

* FakeOutFadeOut: "Trouble (Éveils-infâmes)" has this ''three times'', the last one boardlines BringMyBrownPants.

* LyricalDissonance: The album/band title track and "Heurt" have some pretty happy-like sounding beats..and then you read the lyrics, pretty bleak stuff.
* MohsScaleOfLyricalHardness: Depending on how you read the lyrics, 6-9 to say the least, considering how dark and depressing the band describes society.

* SpokenWordInMusic: In "Reucuillement", there's spoken word from arguably Markus Stock, vocalist of Empyrium (as well as the album's producer), as he recites the final part of Charles Baudelaire's poem of the same name.

Amesoeurs was a pioneering BlackMetal/{{Shoegazing}}/Post-Punk band from Bagnols-sur-Cèze, France, a ''second'' forerunner for Blackgaze, a genre associated with bands like Music/{{Alcest}}. While Music/{{Alcest}} can be considered the TropeCodifier of the genre, Amesoeurs was the second-wing of the genre's post-punk elements.

** Les Discrets took it up to eleven with their third album ''Prédateurs'', which featured their usual ambiance like sound mixed in with Audrey Hadron (Fursy's wife)'s lyrics but retaining a sound similar to the hidden track in Amesoeurs's debut.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: Neige, Fursy, and Audrey are these. Fursy mentioned in an interview that he, Audrey, and Neige formed Amesoeurs due to their disgust at the music that was around them during the time they lived in southern France, along with the tasteless of urban life. They were also incredibly close together and lamented how everything fell apart in 2008 when Audrey and Neige had their breakdown. Since 2009, Fursy, Neige, and Jean haven't contacted Audrey since and Audrey seems content these days without her Amesoeurs days.

* HarshVocals: Why hello Neige.

* SopranoAndGravel: Neige and Audrey both shared vocal parts, Neige singing at least three songs off the album and Audrey singing half of it. Although Audrey could also do screams...

* LastNoteNightmare: "Trouble (Éveils-infâmes)" has some BrownNote distorting by the end of the song and "La reine trayeuse" halfway has Audrey screaming like a psychopath, before going into what sounds like a MadnessMantra.

* MoodWhiplash: After the soothing "I XIII V XIX XV V XXI XVIII XIX - IX XIX - IV V I IV" you get hit with fricken "Trouble (Éveils-infâmes)", to the point where you'll jump to how loud Neige is.

Amesoeurs was a pioneering BlackMetal/{{Shoegaze}}/Post-Punk band from Bagnols-sur-Cèze, France, and possibly a TropeCodifier to the imagery of Shoegaze/blackgaze within city life.

Despite releasing an EP, a split with Valfunde (dead side project of Peste Noire) and having Jean "Winterhalter" Deflandre join as their drummer, the band sadly only lasted six years before abruptively ending due to arguments between the band (mainly Audrey and Neige) over the band's future, but got together one last time to record their Self Titled album as their GrandFinale.
