I was turned onto Agalloch by an internet pal in the UK. He said "I can't believe this band is from America." I listened and I'd have to agree. It's different than what I'd expect from an American band, but that is no complaint! Agalloch are one of the very few metal bands I still listen to, and the thing I love most about them is that their vocals are really easy to tune out. The music is very pleasing and can set the mood for a good night.
Saw a discuss about The White EP. It's pretty good, but their aren't many vocals and a few sound clips from the original The Wicker Man. Overall, the music was alright. I think we're all anxiously looking forward to the new album! I hope it's as majestic as the previous releases.

Truly fantastic band, I have The Mantle. I rarely listen to it only because it requires a specific mood to have full effect. Apparently they have released two songs from the upcoming album for streaming. I havn't heard them though but this thread has me thinking about it

I can't wait for the new album. Their material from The Mantle, Ashes against the Grain and The White are nigh-on flawless records.

I like how their lead singer sounds like Gozer.

I recently sampled some stuff off a couple of their albums, and I'll definitely get some of their stuff whenever I can.

Personally, Ashes Against the Grain is one of the most beautiful things that happened in my life.
Listening to Limbs or Our Fortress Is Burning (all parts) while walking under the gentle rain is one of life's greatest joy's.
Agalloch is one of the best bands I've encountered in a long long time, and it represents and expresses most of the things I love in music/lyrics: winter, nature, melancholy, metal, folk-ism, atmospheres, and more.
Tip for appreciating more of it: lay in bed with someone you love, turn off the lights, and just listen to any of their songs. It's magical.

Somehow this thread escaped me in January. One of my favorite bands. The Mantle is in my top 5 albums of all time. More emotional/emotive music probably does not exist.
Needless to say, I'm thrilled about the new album which I can not wait for. I would like it right now in fact. 2010 is a fantastic year in music, and Agalloch only adds awesomeness. The cover art is certainly interesting.

Fantastic band.
I heard somewhere that they're releasing a new album this year. Don't know anything about it, though.

How does one attain The White EP?

It was a limited release. I had pre-ordered it which was about the only way to get a copy without paying an enormous sum of money.

Agalloch is one of my all times favorite bands. When i first heard Pale Folklore it was love at first sight . i just couldn't stop listening to it for days. also the same happened with The Mantle. Such a unique, true inovative aproach i haven't spotted for years. That haunting, stunning, flawless , inspiring music i couldn't still find, although i have listened to tons of music through the years .. Ashes Against the Grain is also excellent album, one of Agalloch fave tracks is there Not unlike the waves.. and man that EP The White , no words to describe that atmosphere , just pure beauty, neofolk all the way , it's a killer, and that is my favorite EP ever heard. i haven't seen dvd yet, but soon i plan to do it . Of Stone, Wind and Pillor is also perfect creation, the Sol Invictus cover ''Kneel to the Cross' is absolute piece of art, Haunting Birds,A Poem by Yeats.. so beautiful

I want to get it, but I saw it on eBay for $88 USD (over $100 NZD), and that is blue murder. Oh well, there is always YouTube. Has anyone got the DVD?
