Spot on I think. In comments on the band's Facebook page they describe it as a mix of black metal and "dark metal," whatever that means.

Looking forward to this.

"Pillorian takes inspiration from blackened metal, dark folk, and avantgarde music" - So basically Agalloch 2.0?

Going to keep a look out for this one.

Looks like they are a big fan of Abysmal. HYPED

I hope both new post-Agalloch bands won't concentrate on doing Agalloch sounding stuff again. Their last showed they had no more steam for that.

My first thought when I read the description was "Arcturus". So, might be great, might sound like a piano full of cutlery falling down the stairs.

What kind of name is Pillorian though?

MEOW! Sounds gooooooood

Curious to see what they come up with. I like Maestus and kind of like Uada, and I'm hoping the change-up can provide a little inspiration for Haughm to innovate a little more than he did on the most recent Agalloch records.

Probably a reference to Pillory, a device used for public punishment.

They also use the word Pillorian on the song "Dead Winter Days":
I shot down the sun with bow and flame
Pillorian for the dead winter

Furthermore they have an EP titled "Of Stone, Wind, and Pillor"

Ahah thanks for the background, guys.

So, it's all related to Agalloch then.

There still is hope after all

Will definitely be checking this band out when they release something. Agalloch went downhill after Ashes, so I was quite relieved to hear about the split. Hopefully this fresh start will prove inspiring for Haughm. As the band stated on FB, "A fresh start with something new is better than beating a dead, un-inspiring horse."

Alright, lets hear the first release. I'm not dying for Agalloch-kind of music or JH's touch over more metal, I won't mind something though.

Eisenwald describes their sound: "Exploring the context of obscurity"

Yeah, that narrows it down...

I'll keep an eye on both projects. Even though I have the feeling that none of them will probably mark me as much as Agalloch did.

Pillorian is a badass name.
