As for the new Agalloch album. It's a mixed affair for me. I think the second half of the album is much better than the first half and they seem to really excel at their more ambient side whilst the heavier Black Metal sound they have becomes less interesting with each release and I think the band seem to put more effort into their mellow moments which is fine by me.

One of my favorite bands. Agalloch has continued to be one of the few truly amazing progressive black bands out there along with Keep of Kalessin, Ceremonial Castings, Enslaved, and Isahn. When I saw them live over the summer, they played a ****ing 2.5 hour set. It was ridiculous.

I'm not much of a metal fan, and had been urged to listen to this band by a friend ever since Ashes Against The Grain came out. I never bothered, until this year. Man am I glad I did. This band are something else. Mantle and Ashes are both perfect in their own ways, and Pale Folklore would have been so much better with proper production.
I haven't given that most recent album a whirl, but have heard mixed things. Is it an enormous departure from the sound of earlier efforts? As good/worthwhile as Ashes Against The Grain? Any thoughts would be great. |

I like Marrow of the Spirit even more than Ashes Against The Grain. So, yes.
They also have a brand new album called The Serpent & The Sphere coming out in May, so be on the lookout for that.
