Agalloch

I think Agalloch and Opeth are very different bands and should not be compared. Agalloch seem to me draw a lot of influence from Pink Floyd. My only problem with Agalloch is the terrible fucking "harsh" vocals. The clean I like, but the others sound too forced.
 
in my mind, Agalloch is America's Ulver. but that's just me.

although Ulver does seem to have a bit more attitude than Agalloch on Bergtatt.
