The snare sounds a bit weird in the mix, but further sounds like solid Agalloch to me. Still looking forward to the album.

This song is an absolute grower. At first I was like "meh", then I played it ten more times. Can't. Fucking. Wait.

I really dug it, nice, epic, and atmospheric. Like better produced Mantel song.

I will not listen to the song .... I'll be waiting for the full-length to enjoy the whole thing together and for the people disappointed : Agalloch writes music that needs lots of time to click on the listener "though being very accessible". so don't judge the album fast

Hmmmm.....based on the 2 songs it sounds to me like the clean production has made the music loose a bit of the atmosphere present on their previous works.

I'm really liking the songs, the atmosphere they create is amazing. I'm officially psyched.

I like this new song a bit more than the previous one. I won't listen to it anymore though, I prefer to wait for the whole album now... One song for preview is ok, but more is just like spoiling the fun, imho!

Written by Bigpaul on 02.11.2010 at 10:08 Ironically the production on "Marrow of the Spirit" is less polished than on their previous album...

I just listened to both songs once through. First impression was nothing amazing, but decent Agalloch with 'The Mantle' type sound. I'm sure a few more listens will make the songs grow on me far more, as the same thing happened with the other albums.

It's been a while since their last album, Ashes Against The Grain, which is totally a masterpiece. I can't describe my excitement waiting for this.
