"MetalManiacs: Agalloch has always seemed tentative about being associated with metal/black metal. Why?
John Haughm: We arent interested in scenes. Its totally useless for us. The black metal scene that I knew and loved is long dead. Only a scar of its former self remains with bands like Menhir, Primordial, DornenReich, and the consistency of classic bands like Enslaved, Summoning and Graveland. There are a few select newer bands that have captured my attention like Drudkh, Noltem, and Vetter."
