Spiritual Instinct is the sixth studio album by French post-black metal band Alcest.

The album was released on 25 October 2019 through Nuclear Blast and garnered positive reviews from critics.

Spiritual Instinct features Alcest live bassist Indria Saray performing on bass in the studio for the second time in the history of the band after Kodama.

[5] Sam Law, writing for British rock magazine Kerrang!, gave a rating of 4/5, noting that while the album was fundamentally sound and well produced, it was inferior to Alcest's earlier work.

[6] This concern was echoed by other critics, including Lukas Wojcicki of Canadian music publication Exclaim!,[7] and Jason Roche of heavy metal news site Blabbermouth.net.
