You would assuredly like Agalloch.
This. Really cannot imagine you not enjoying them.

Is there any speculation on when the new Agalloch is supposed to come out?
Currently lost in the swirling soundscapes of Fen's The Malediction Fields.
What do others think of this rapidly forming new wave of mystically/naturally influenced, ambient/atmospheric black metal (Altar of Plagues, Wolves in the Throne Room, Black Lotus, Fen, Woods of Ypres, Krallice, etc.)?
Honestly? Incredibly hit or miss. To be fair I've only heard a few bands in this group but their songs, to me, are either breathtakingly amazing or completely un-interesting.
Exiles Journey (Fen), & I Will Lay Down My Bones... (WITTR) are absolutely amazing, but most of the other songs on the corresponding albums don't really do anything for me.
I've finally gotten around to listening to Sorhin, it's not bad. Kinda reminds me of Watain with a better sense of melody.
The guitar is much more crushing, i'm not sure how they made it sound so different, i don't think it's remastered or anything.
I love black metal. Right now, im leaning more towards the Viking/folk subgenre. To anyone that doesnt know them already, I would suggest Asmegin. Lazare from Carpathian Forest does clean vocals on their first album, and it is incredible.
I've never checked them out, but I've heard pretty good things. And I love In Lingua Mortua (the project of Asmegin's guitarists), so I'll have to check out Asmegin soon.
