Okay we had a thread about this amazing band before all the threads got deleted, so I think its time for a new one, especially because they are about to release their new album Ashes Against The Grain. I cant remember when it will be released but I think it was August 8th or something. For those who dont know Agalloch, they are very hard to categorize but ill say they are a doom metal band, with alot of influences from post rock, gothic and even black metal. You can listen to the track Falling Snow from their upcoming album right here: http://www.theendrecords.com/label/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=38

Listen to The Mantle, and you will understand what im talking about, words cannot descbribe my love for that album.

Ive heard the new album is already leaked, if anyone's got it, and wanna share just PM me, would be pretty cool, cause I just cant wait! Ill buy it when it comes out, no doubt about that, but im just so desperate.

01. Limbs
02. Falling Snow

bluemobiusx Account deleted	Permalink 07.03.2011 - 05:57 bluemobiusx Account deleted Pale Folklore is probably my least favorite of Agalloch's releases. I really like the new album. It was a bold move and I love the music. My favorite Agalloch album is probably Ashes Against the Grain though. I love that album. Loading...
bluemobiusx Account deleted	Permalink 21.03.2011 - 18:56 bluemobiusx Account deleted I saw Agalloch on Saturday in Atlanta. The show was incredible. The energy, the music and everything was just breath taking. It was one of those shows that is good not because the performance was spot on, which it was btw, but because the audience and band were just so into the emotion and atmosphere. The setlist was: They Escaped the Weight of Darkness (intro) Into the Painted Grey Falling Snow The Watcher's Monolith Of Stone, Wind, and Pillor Limbs Ghosts of the Midwinter Fires Our Fortress is Burning... II: Bloodbirds Dead Winter Days In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion Loading...

bluemobiusx Account deleted	Permalink 08.04.2011 - 13:54 bluemobiusx Account deleted It took me a while to get into Agalloch too. I bought Ashes Against the Grain not too long after it was released and I liked a few of the songs on the album but I didn't really get it. It wasn't until a year or two ago that I really understood the band's music, but once I did I found myself listening all the time. So it was great to see them live a few weeks ago. Loading...

Thus far in my metal listening habits I have stuck mainly to Thrash, Groove, Death and Melodeath. My foray into black metal has included, for the most part, Primordial. However, you could argue that Primordial is Folk Metal and probably be just as close to the truth if you were to assume it was Black Metal. I guess the point of this verbose couple of sentences is to say: Thus far I have yet to find a black metal band that I enjoy as much as various other kinds of metal. It probably has something to do with the drum part. Typically black metal has a subtle drum part that is set back fairly far in the mix and as a drummer I can't help but prefer technically impressive drum parts. I do have to add that there is a special place in my heart for drum parts in Swing Jazz and the like. Loading...

Beastofmetal456 Account deleted	Permalink 24.05.2011 - 03:15 Beastofmetal456 Account deleted Those dudes are masterminds. One of the best bands I ever heard. The Mantle isn't fully a metal album, but it's a piece of art. Ashes Against The Grain is more metal, and very good. Limbs, Falling Snow, Not Unlike The Waves... Agalloch's riffs are unlike any other's. Everytime I hear Limbs or the intro to Falling Snow, it makes me shiver. From it's beauty. Loading...

Pazu Posts: 167	Permalink 01.09.2011 - 03:16 Pazu Posts: 167 So I was listening to both 'I Am The Wooden Doors' and 'In The Shadow Of Our Pale Companion' the other day, while playing a pc game, and experienced something rather strange. It was almost as if I was sort of meditating without knowing it. What I did in the game was a quite repetitive task and I was pretty tired that night. Somewhen during those two songs it happened. It must have been minutes of me just doing my thing without thinking about anything but doing what I did kind of numb, almost like a machine. That was definately strange but really relaxing and honestly, I don't know, beautiful? ^^ Anyways, I tried to reenter that 'mindless' state a few times now but failed. Too bad, maybe I wasn't tired enough.^^ Loading...
Susan Smeghead Elite Posts: 6941	Permalink 15.12.2011 - 03:33 Susan Smeghead Elite Posts: 6941 I just want to make sure all you Agalloch fans have heard John Haughm's new single. Here's Troy's review of it http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/review.php?review_id=9966 including the download link. It's an amazing single released only on limited edition, hand-numbered 7" vinyl, or for download. Not exactly like Agalloch, more ambient, but it's still John's composition so if you're reading this thread you'll probably dig it. ---- "A life all mine Is what I choose At the end of my days" --The Gathering "A Life All Mine" from Souvenirs Loading...

Troy Killjoy perfunctionist Staff Posts: 21306	Permalink 25.12.2011 - 09:56 Troy Killjoy perfunctionist Staff Posts: 21306 After considering their 2010 release the most disappointing release of the year, I'm happy to say I've started appreciating it a bit more. It's still not groundbreaking, and I still think it's the weakest Agalloch release to date (aside from that Nest split and their remix/experimental EP), but it's grown on me in the past year. ---- "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something."

Not long ago on their official facebook page, they announced plans for a full 30 date US tour sometime this summer. I've already seen them live six different times, but I'd love to shoot for a seventh and possibly eighth live viewing if they have multiple dates in the northwest... ---- Heavy metal is the law.
