Agalloch

[Guthrum]

I was waiting for Erik to respond.

 

[Perpetual Catatonia]

hm no sorry never heard of them

I was thinking the exact same thing.

 

[ThePhilosopher]

Ashes Against the Grain is album of the year for me so far.

You know people. You have been talking about Agalloch for a fucking long time and seriously I haven't been convinced to them. Why they are so great? I've read some reveiws of their albums but I still ain't convinced. Tell me something like "awww man they fucking r0000lllZZ" maybe this will do it. I remember Mumbelfood digging me ino something new.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

(post-rock sucks tho except for like 2 bands so it's okay)(also the two bands are talk talk and bark psychosis)

Very, very wrong.

I love Agalloch but I agree the clean vox are dodgy and I always thought the instrumentals were too boring. It's a fine line between creating a mood and boring the listener to death with it. Pale Folklore kicks ass, The Mantle has its moments and I'm still new to Ashes so I'll give it more time before I make a judgment.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Agalloch is very good.

 

[unknown]

anybody pre-order the special edition from The End Records?

 

[Mort Divine]

I did

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Sorry, the Royal Carnage board already got all 500 copies of the limited edition.

 

[Guthrum]

I ordered the $32 one.

Well, I like Agalloch because I like music that takes its time to get to where it's going. It's rewarding to listen to, especially when it all begins to sink in. Great melodies, great layers of sounds, well-written lyrics, and they care little about trying to be the most evil or grim bunch around.

That said, I definitely enjoy The Mantle the most. Far more variety than Pale Folklore (which is also one of my favourite albums, but just let down by the production as well). I've heard MP3s of AATG but I'm waiting to hear the proper thing.

Agalloch is boring as all hell, but at least it's not boring or anything. Saying that, I love this new album, but just because I hate the new album doesn't mean I don't like it. understand?

But seriously, Agalloch reminds me of walk in Autumn reverie admist Solemn remebrance in oaken forest amongst the glow of the moonlight night in the frost of a winters reverance underneath the somber skies of disenchanted ethereal putrefaction
