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.

Cover and tracklist:



01. Limbs
02. Falling Snow
03. This White Mountain on Which You Will Die
04. Fire Above, Ice Below
05. Not unlike the Waves
06. Our Fortress Is Burning... I
07. Our Fortress Is Burning... II - Bloodbirds
08. Our Fortress Is Burning... III - The Grain

i might go see them on 2 consecutive nights for the equivalent of 15 euros, first show will be 2 hours long featuring new songs they never played live and the second one will have Alcest supporting.

Those 2 shows must be the most epic thing evar, at least by this moment, I really envy anyone who is going and hope they rot in hell when they die haha jus' kidding, hope you have a great time seeing the 2 bands now that you've listened to Agalloch, I wish they were more popular here to give a show like that, not that they are not popular at all, but these kind of bands I think aren't the most popular thing here.

I do have this DVD, I have watched it, and like everything else Agalloch puts out...it is well worth the money...

*concert is filmed in black & white
*sound quality is about what you'd expect...not perfect, but good for a small live show
*great set list
*I can't say flawless performance, but still outstanding
*small venue = intimate feel

If you're an Agalloch fan you should have this.

horns up.

I'm not as fond of their older stuff as I am Ashes Against The Grain, but that's really one of the best albums I've ever heard. I really hope it sounds like that. I'm excited.

I read an update from the band a few months ago (cant remember where) if i recall right, should be a new album out later this year or early next year

If a supposed release this year is gonna come, it's about time they should make a public statement regarding the recording process.

It will probably be pushed back to 2011. They will take their time, and they dont really care about when its released. Only when they are happy with the result they usually make a releasedate.. Same thing happend to Primordial... Supposed to release a new album this year, but its now been pushed back to april 2011..! Sucks. At least we know it will be good records, from both bands.

Hmm odd as this may sound I'd prefer the album to come out during the winter... it seems to make the music so much more atmospheric! well only time will tell.

Boring? Very atmospheric I'd say. And much better than "Ashes..."
I have the white version:



The new one looks much more interesting to me. And, of course, I can't wait for the album.

Cover couldn't look more Agalloch-y, and it was designed by Fursy Teyssier, same guy who designed cover for Ecáilles de Lune from Alcest and Handful of Stars from Drudkh.

Cool, thanks. Where did you read that?

By the way, have you guys noticed how much the first song on the new album, "They Escaped The Weight Of Darkness" looks like a rip off of the latest Ólafur Arnalds record, "...And They Have Escaped the Weight of Darkness". Just a coincidence? I dont know to be ohnest, but its interesting. Should ask the band on the Facebook page..

Complete tracklist for the record:

1. They Escaped The Weight Of Darkness [3:41]
2. Into The Painted Grey [12:25]
3. The Watcher's Monolith [11:46]
4. Black Lake Nidstang [17:34]
5. Ghosts Of The Midwinter Fires [9:40]
6. To Drown [10:27]
