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 can't believe I'm just learning there's a new album. But maybe I recibed a notification but didn't pay attention. As usual I have absolutely high hopes for this one and Agalloch has never disappointed me. With every single release I love them more.

http://transylvanianhungerrr.blogspot.com/2010/10/agalloch-marrow-of-spirit-review.html

an excerpt from the review:

"Agalloch have returned to their roots. Light years away from Ashes Against The Grain, Marrow Of The Spirit takes a full turn and goes back where it all started. As much as I love their last album, this sounds like they wanted to run as far from that as possible"

Oh god, all I can hope for is this NOT a bad thing....I am getting worried...

That's too bad, because "Ashes" was brilliant all the way.

I actually disagree with you. Although Ashes was good it didn't come close to the true greatness of The Mantle and also couldn't touch on The Pale Folklore.

Ashes is as brilliant as The Mantle, even though it's very different

Crap, I was about to post it, lol, but well, I listened it, it has a different vibe from that of Ashes or The Mantle, kinda reminding of Pale Folklore at times, but still different.

I will listen to the thing as a whole. I don't like spoilers

And I like Ashes the most too, but I wouldn't mind another The Mantle obviously

Okay ive listned to it a million times already, and its not as good as I thought haha. Well it is good, but I was awaiting that special Agalloch moment but it never came. The piano part however is beautiful.

I heard the song yesterday. I don't think it goes that far from Ashes Against The Grain, neither is that near to The Mantle. More like a between. Anyway, it's just one song. And as usual, it sounds great.

I think I would really love to see something new instead of a rewind of old stuff, not a rewind I mean but I don't think that a new version of "Pale Folklore" will blow me away like how "Ashes.." did.
