For eighteen years the Pacific Northwest group Agalloch has defined what it
means to combine influences from a variety of musical genres into one
brooding, colossal, and cinematic sound that provides the soundtrack to
existential themes concerning man, nature, loss, and death.
After two demo releases in the late 90s the band released three full-length
albums: "Pale Folklore" (1999), "The Mantle" (2002), and "Ashes Against the
Grain" (2006). "The Mantle" has since been heralded as a classic for having
been one of the first albums to combine elements from black metal, neo-folk,
progressive rock, post-rock, and ambient music. The influence of this record
can be heard in many so-called "post-black metal" bands today.
In 2008 Agalloch began re-releasing their demos, B-sides, and EPs under
their own Dammerung Arthouse label. In 2010 their fourth album "Marrow of
the Spirit" made number one on numerous critic's top ten lists. In between
each of these full-lengths the band pushed on the flexible boundaries they
had developed around themselves through a series of EPs that found the band
experimenting with post-rock/instrumental rock ("The Grey," 2004),
neo-folk/psychedelic folk ("The White," 2008) and a mammoth twenty-minute
epic work entitled "Faustian Echoes" (2012) released through Dammerung Arts.
Their fifth and newest full-length album "The Serpent & The Sphere" (2014)
continues to earn praise for solidifying the now identifiable sound of the
band.
Agalloch has earned a reputation for explosive and emotional live
performances. They have sold out tours across Europe and the US and have
played a variety of major international festivals including: Roadburn,
Inferno, Ragnarok, Tomahawk, Noctis, Asymmetry Fest, Maryland Deathfest,
Scion Fest and others. The band takes special care constructing the
environment of each and every show with wood, incense, and imagery taken
directly from their home in the Northwest. Such care makes an Agalloch show
more than just a typical heavy metal concert.
