at least a couple of those Agalloch guys look like they hold down accountancy jobs in their real lives.

just as an aside, anyone who manufactures a fake name is pretentious, ESPECIALLY if said name means nothing whatsoever.

Haughm: My name is Haughm
Tully: But what does that mean
Haughm: It signifies the deep primeval essence that was purged from society by christianity
Tully: But what does it "mean"
Haughm: well, it's an ancient form of pagan luncheon meat

edit: and before the purists rise up in ancient righteous indignation, yeah that is his real last name okay

 

[lizard]

Is this an ancient pagan safe for holding one's sacred bone fragments and shiny beads?

 

[Demilich]

don't forget pretentious art made by middle aged men who crouch with small axes in front of shrubbery!

i think the skinny one with glasses teaches at a university

 

[dorian gray]

because they are mysterious

If these are lyrics, everything I have always thought about Aggaloch has been validated.

"Charred birds escape from the ruins, and return as cascading blood."

LLOOLLLLLLLLL

Dude, have you ever even listened to that horribly awkward section in "She Painted Fire Across The Skyline III" where just about everything stops and Haughm shouts about things calling to him like a river of shadows that sang to him like the cry of a thousand ravens as they took flight towards the Sol? (etc.)

That was like a hundred times worse.

 

[Ellestin]

and yet it speaks to one, in a way. I have never considered Haughm a great lyricist whatsoever, but I fail to see the pretense in his writing. I think he has a fine ability to pick his words carefully and make simple phrases sort of spectacular to the ear.

 

[lizard]

it is sometimes true that lyrics when read on a page seem oftimes lame and when actually performed as part of a larger entity take on a life of their own. I try and avoid reading lyrics before I hear the songs.

so is agalloch the new opeth? in that i mean, is agalloch the band everyone is going to argue about?

and lurch, "walk it like you talk it"....why is a devout catholic fronting the evil satanists Slayer? BOO-YA!

yeah, but at least they admit its a schtick ... and have done so repeatedly ...

LOL @ Mooses avatar ... "all midgets must die!"

 

[MFJ]

the box is okay

i'll sell mine though

 

[MajestikMøøse]

it's pretty tempting for a 2000% return on your investment

 

[J.]

honestly, the box set would've been cooler had the actual CD and inserts been different. essentially all this is, is a wooden box with logo, some postcards, a bone, and the regular slipcase cd

cool no doubt, and it's not like i paid a huge amount for my 2. but ill be selling one of them when i need to pay for my kid to go to college or i need another vacation.

 

[J.]

gimmicks...that's even worse...like having a woman front a metal band and then having her pose sexually.

 

[lurch70]

yeah, like holding axes and bathing with chubby chicks in a barrel

 

[J.]

both of which have nothing to do with the music! and bathing with chicks can never be a bad thing...unless it's your mOm

EDIT: it's "mom", not "mum"..this is a mum:

 

[lizard]

and not to be confused with yer mum in a muumuu

 

[dorian gray]

Dude, have you ever even listened to that horribly awkward section in "She Painted Fire Across The Skyline III" .

I was listening to that last night in fact

 

[Guthrum]

Same here, and I thought the same thing.

Also, what does the bone that came with some of the boxes look like? Anyone care to take a picture?

 

[lurch70]

the bone that came with some of the boxes

... copycats
