Ok so I eventually listened in, weak boy me.

*erases file*

Wow, now that you mention it, yeah, hear the Katatonia in there. I have no idea how I didn't pick up on that. I knew it was familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it.

And did you actually listen to those file I put up? :lol: Those must have sounded great.
 
I like it. But the production and stuff... the wah wah pedal... the main guitar lead that sounds like Mogwai... and it's uncanny resemblence to BMD at times... It's kinda :confused: for me now.
 
I get the feeling, on second listen, that I would love this if it wasn't Agalloch. I almost forget who I'm listening to. Just not really what I expected...
 
i don't hate it at all, not even close. i mean i realize that there is no sense in trying to recapture what they had on pale folklore, and as a total agalloch fanboy of course i'm going to give this as many chances as it needs... i'm kinda breathing a sigh of relief here that they didn't wholly abandon metal, for starters... 'cause that really wouldn't have been a long shot
 
The outside influences are all there (I think you could almost compare this to something off Amorphis - "Elegy"), but they've kept a similar songwriting style. "The Mantle" did nothing for me the first year I owned it.

I DO like that guitar part around the 3 minute mark... definitely a post-rock feel to it.
