The middle-part is probably amongst the best music ever written, by anyone.

I raise you Not Unlike The Waves.

Amazing song, but probably my least favorite on the album.
Still shows how fantastic the album as a whole is though.

Not Unike The Waves is still my favourite. And the song that got me into Agalloch

But seriously, there is nay a weak spot on that album. Though a lot of people dislike The Grain

Zantera · « **Reply #38 on:** April 02, 2010, 07:01:47 PM »

The Grain is the best way to finish the best album ever made.

It will be!
So curious about what direction they're taking with it, still.. whatever they do, it will be metal.

HarlequinForest · « **Reply #44 on:** April 13, 2010, 02:44:51 PM »

I'm sure whatever they do will be amazing, but I really want them to continue the AAtG sound. I need more.

faemir · « **Reply #45 on:** April 14, 2010, 05:20:40 AM »

Be interesting to see what the production will be like on this album.

Sigz · « **Reply #46 on:** April 29, 2010, 12:56:16 PM »

So Ashes Against the Grain is fucking awesome still. I got The Mantle, but haven't really gotten into it as much as AAtG.

AAtG is pretty fucking amazing.

Even though i love both The Mantle and Pale Folklore, AAtG will remain their absolute masterwork to me.

Yes, it is. I actually think the album is a grower. And since I fucking loved it the first time I heard it, that's pretty amazing. I could listen to Falling Snow 1000 times and I woud still enjoy it

Although my opinion remains that The Mantle is their masterpeice, I don't really compare the three albums because they are quite different, and all superb.

Zantera · « **Reply #49 on:** April 29, 2010, 02:43:23 PM »

Ye, Agalloch are truly amazing.
3 albums, all 3 are fantastic.
Not many bands succeed with that.
Personally, i think The Mantle requires me to be in a certain mood.
If im in that mood, then it's phenomenal, if i'm not, then i only listen to ITSoOPC or "I am the Wooden Doors".

Gadough · « **Reply #50 on:** April 29, 2010, 09:29:30 PM »

I Am the Wooden Doors is their best song in my opinion, followed closely by In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion.

Zantera · « **Reply #51 on:** April 30, 2010, 03:37:48 AM »

Personally, "Falling Snow" has been my favorite for a long time.
But "Fire Above, Ice Below" has grown lots on me, and might have overtaken the throne.

Same. Recently Fire Above, Ice Below has me hooked. love every second of it. But Not Unlike The Waves remains my favourite. Jesus christ this is a strong album

Ye, i think i would rate all of the songs a 10 out of 10.
The album is just such a killer, i can listen to it when im depressed, when im happy, or angry, it just works in every aspect.

Spun The Mantle a few times this weekend, it's definitely grown on me.

It does take a few listens to sink in. All the subtle acoustic parts and ambient sections. It's such a very open album. It's definitely one of those albums, which you have to be in the mood for, and when you are it becomes more an experience then a simple collection of songs.

faemir · « **Reply #57 on:** May 11, 2010, 12:11:10 PM »

I found The Mantle far easier to listen to than AATG

Profound Lore to release 4th Agalloch album…

Agalloch is proud to announce a renewed relationship with Profound Lore Records who will release our long-awaited 4th full length album. Profound Lore originally released our debut and sophomore albums on vinyl in 2005, including the amazing wooden sleeve edition of “Pale Folklore.” The artistic attitude and level of integrity from Profound Lore is why we are extremely pleased to have them represent Agalloch.
The new album will be recorded throughout June and July, but we do not wish to make any concrete statements regarding a release date at this time.

Can't wait to see which direction they take their music. Whichever way, I'm confident that it'll be amazing.

Yep. IIRC they have hired a cellist for this album, so there will definitely be some strings. I also hope for a return of some females vocals as seen in their debut. Either way, it's gonna kick ass.

A french band you guys might like, Les Discrets: https://www.myspace.com/lesdiscrets

I was only introduced to this band a day or 2 ago, but because a. I love them soooo freaking much and b. no one else is doing it, I am going to do a Agalloch survivor starting sometime next week! That is If I know I can get a decent amount of voters. If I did this would everyone following this thread be interested?
