So are Agalloch the new golden child of underground metal yet?

[The_Isle]

I can

Btw, cool avatar, where is it from?

forgot its someone's impression of the shrike from hyperion

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

dont like em

 

[Necro Joe]

...they don't have that much appeal among the -core crowd...

It depends, if you're talking about the Pelican, Isis, Old Man Gloom posse then yeah, they do.

on that note, old man gloom "christmas" = disappointing

 

[Necro Joe]

Nah I love it. The ambient sections can drag at times but the heavy ones are the best they've written.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

LIES!

 

[NAD]

on that note, old man gloom "christmas" = GAYMAZING

Fixed. My favorite part is the last 40 seconds or so. Holy fucking shit what a perfect way to end such an amazing album.

OMG = all 9/10 releases

 

[cthulufhtagn]

i admit i need to give it more attention. but i dunno man.

 

[Demonspell]

Christmas is the reason to pick up that album, for me the ambient side of OMG appeals more than the heavy tracks, which sometimes feel incomplete, but that may be because I'm used to the epic buildups and dynamics of Aaron's day job. And by -core I should have emphasized metalcore...

I have only recently been listening to Agalloch so I am no where near sick of them. I have never seen them mentioned outside of UM.

 

[Sanctums]

Realy, outside of RC I don't hear much about them. Every once in a while I might see something though.

 

[JayKeeley]

Agalloch mainstream? Hell, I thought they were the new KISS.


I was made for loving you baby, you were made for loving me...

 

[lurch70]

Tonight ... we're gonna make it .. bahahah

 

[Papa Josh]

They've gotten coverage in the mags as of late... but still have a hard time finding their cd in the shops. Finally got mine this past weekend.

speaking of Opeth, I sure wish they woulda not released Ghosts of Turdition. It's so goddam bad. I thoroughly enjoy all their other albums. Say what you will, but Blackwater Park is a brilliant album that introduced me to a whole new world of music.
Agalloch are quite talented and Pale Folklore is ace but I'm still at a loss as to how you guys can fellate their other releases. "Atmosphere" only goes so far with me. I can't play guitar worth shit but I can create my own atmospheres. I don't need a band to make me depressed.

[dorian gray]

Can I get some negative rep points then or what?

 

[lurch70]

fuck this ... even Agalloch know they suck

I can't see a reason how Agalloch can be accused of Opethism, I really can't. The new one is as pure and intense and as it gets when speaking of emotional rock music; so it's not mindblowingly technical, not the least bit innovative, k so what? At least it's not some more overproduced, inbred prog hero metal.
