MARROW OF THE SPIRIT

This album is an absolute masterpiece from beginning to end. Easily Agalloch's best ever effort (and the third album in a row that, in my opinion, deserves a 5-star rating). Each track has so much depth into them that they all have a valid reason for being the best of the album. However Into The Painted Gray and BLN are easily the most complete tracks of the album and two of the best songs Agalloch ever made. The only weakness this album could possibly have is the 4-minute beginning interlude, yet even so, when doing a full listen it perfectly complements with the closer To Drown. On top of that, an incredibly immersive experience with perfect balance of atmospheric sections and bone-breaking heavy sections. 100% recommended.
