i'd class agalloch as grind-influenced post-hardcore but i'm not really an expert on such matters.

You're obviously quite educated for someone sleeping next to a trash can every night, is that the kind of language you mother taught you? Post a more constructive response (if you can even pronounce constructive as opposed to your digusting language).

They're definitely hard to categorise, that's for sure. Each time I listen to them I notice something new.
Over the interviews I've read of their's they do cite black metal (eg earlier Ulver) and some proggier bands as influences (note though, I don't mean 70's Camel/Yes style prog, I probably should've been more clear about that in my earlier post).
"Dark Metal" is a good way to describe some aspects of them though, I agree

If you listen to them because you want to, well that's great. Some of us out there do like to be more technical about the music we listen to. As a forum for a place like Metal, I'd like to think I can talk about the music I love in the way I appreciate it and have cool discussions with people about it.
My explanation of what I felt about it not being Doom wasn't meant to put you down Detric, I was just "discussing music" dude, you don't have to be so aggressive.
For the record though, if you think they're Doom, check out the Doom bands I mentioned, you'll see how different Doom is. I don't mean this as a "you're wrong, I'm right" kind of thing, it's just a suggestion to someone in a place where there's a lot of other music lovers around.
I know what you mean Hubster, and Iam sorry if I sounded like a jerk. But it can be really hard to put bands into different genres, I just try not to focus on the genres, other than death,black,folk,grind and all the "main" genres. I know there is alot of sub genres too, but I try to avoid them, because id rather focus on the music than the genres, do you know what I mean? But its okay if you like to put bands into these sub genres, its just that alot of people arent that familiar with the genres your were naming

okay.. agalloch are not better musicians, especially drums wise.. the drumming can be immensely scrappy.. martin lopez could shit over the drummer from all the songs i've heard. The drumming on the mantle altho good enough, left a lot to be desired - some really scrappy work there.

I would call Agalloch dark-metal or grey-metal especially Pale Folklore, Pale Folklore is the perfect music to listen at when it's rainy and grey outside.

Vintersorg is terrible compared to Mikael. Just listen to Still Day Beneath the Sun, that's probably Mikael's best vocal preformance.
Vintersorg is good sometimes... like on God's of My World, but his voice is very irritating, especially how nasally he is. Plus, the way he sings high pitched now, is abolutely terrible.
Mikael's tone is warm, soothing, and absolutely beautiful. His voice rolls are 1000 times sexier than Vintersorg's.

I think the best way to categorize Agalloch is Black Metall/Neo-Folk/Post Rock (in order of how present each style is in their sound). There's really no way you can put them into a single genre without making it some rediculous mish-mash looking thing.
PS: Mike's clean vocals slay everyone's, especially Vintersorg's.

actually its quite simple. Dark Metal. that genre tag for them encompases any death/black/doom/folk/forest, whatever influence it might have. but they are a dark metal band. nor are they nearly as amazing or profound as half these twats are boasting.
agalloch is decent...but thats the end of the line people.

You can't compare the two. That's like saying "James LaBrie is better than Paul Simon!" Sure, technically LaBrie has the better range over Simon, just as Vintersorg does over Mike. But which one do I like to listen more? I'll take Paul Simon and Mike - tone is more important to me than range.
