In the true musical lineage of Opeth and Katatonia, Agalloch is one of these mystic and melancholic bands, excelling at playing a smart blend of Doom Metal and few elements from Melodic Death Metal, such as the voice a la Dark Tranquillity. Established as one of the best combos in their style and one of America's most interesting bands, Agalloch was founded in Portland, Oregon in late 1995. After a couple of demos, they scored a deal with The End Records in 1998 and their debut album Pale Folklore was released in 1999. In 2001, a limited MCD entitled Of Stone, Wind and Pillor was released and they then worked on today's chapter, their second full-length album, The Mantle. Agalloch is composed by John Haughm , Don Anderson and Jason William Walton .

I don't like it.

Then you are not human.


yeah, i'm human and i'm sleeping when i listen this album. too slow, too boring...

Rating: 10 To be fair, this album is great for going to sleep to.... i wouldnt at all call it boring tho. its also perfect for long train/bus journeys. I have nothing new to add about this album, ill just weigh in with the masses and say how much i adore it, it restores me to default mindstate if that makes any sense....

Rating: 9 The only problem I have is that A Desolation Song is a weak ending track. Sure, it's a good song, but the album would've been better for me if ...And The Great Cold Death Of The Earth was the last track. Although I couldn't say where A Desolation Song would've fit in though, since the song seems a bit out of place... hence why they probably just put it as the last track on the album.
