Agalloch News?

[SkeetsMaloy]

Just wondering if anybody has an update or has heard any news on Agalloch and their upcoming album. I read not so long ago that they were writing material and it may be out before the end of the year (though that seems highly unlikely).

It's a kick in the balls trying to track down some news on them, considering they don't seem to have an 'official' website.

best bet would be to ask on The End forum, since members post there... if i recall though they essentially said it would be done when its done last time they were asked

I heard they broke up indefinitely and that one of the members committed suicide.

I believe they are playing some concert in Toronto in October with Woods of Ypres and some other bands of the sort. One of the fan sites linked to from metal-archives is a pretty good resource.

Thanks fellas.

Oh and Dodens, Mikael Bayusik is selling locks of his pubes on ebay. Figured you may want to check that out.....not funny, I know.

yeah, they're playing Day of the Equinox...they're planning to play a few songs they've never played live, and they're also going to be selling stuff that will only be sold at that show...sneaky bastards


otherwise, check out The End Records forum

Why do you know this? Did you search eBay for pubic hair?

 

[SkeetsMaloy]

No, him and I go way back...He called me the other day and asked that I spread the word to all the hardcore Tearstained fans. You were the first one that came to mind.

 

[skeptik]

I see.

Interesting..Day of the Equinox is the aforementioned show in Toronto? If only I wasn't a poor mofo and lived closer I would be there...

For those interested, I found this post from Don Anderson of Agalloch regarding the upcoming album:

When asked when the band will be going into the studio:


"It is difficult to say because during the school year I live 4 1/2 hours away from the rest of the band and the studio. But things are moving well and I hope to see us go in off and on during fall and winter. Unfortunately, like the Mantle, this will probably be a long process, but its just how we do things. We don't rehearse or anything. Its very solitary. We spend a lot of time in the studio arranging and even writing, so its hard to say when we will go in, or when we will be done.

However, I am VERY happy with the new material. Haughm has done some very fine work and we are looking forward to recording."

I guess they don't even know themselves when recording will begin/end.

Did anyone actually go to Day of the Equinox? I was wondering what Agalloch sold and what songs they played.
