[cwhitey2]

...was totally going to post this....






I'm pumped, I LOVE these guys.

 

[Mwoit]

I'm not massively into these guys but The Mantle is absolutely fantastic.

 

[works0fheart]

Great band. This should be good.

 

[AdamMaz]

Their previous album was my favorite of theirs, absolutely phenomenal. Looking very forward to this

 

[Grand Moff Tim]

Their original keyboardist was my Buddhist Philosophy professor at university. I never would have known, either, had I not worn band shirts to class, which he noticed and struck up a conversation with me about after the first day of class.

So there you go, kids. Wearing band shirts pays off. Tell your whiny girlfriends to fvck off about it.

^ Huh, I believe Don (the lead guitarist) is also a professor at a local uni around here. English, if I'm not mistaken.

That aside, I wasn't really all that keen on their most recent release, so it'll be interesting to see where they take the next one.

 

[FireInside]

Totally stoked for this.

That's pretty sweet!

Don and John are both involved with local conservation efforts as well. Pretty cool cats to talk to

Marrow of the spirit is decent but not my favorite by any means. Faustian Echoes was ok as a holdover but I'm pretty impatient for a new full length.

I don't always black metal, but when I do, I Agalloch. Looking forward to hearing what they've got this time around.

Can confirm that he's a teacher in the area, don't know which subject though.

AATG was my favorite release from them, as I came in from the post-rock side, not the black metal side.

 

[BlackMastodon]

Suuuuper excited about this. Didn't realize how long it's been since Marrow of the Spirit.

 

[Decapitated666]

STOKED.

 

[TheKindred]

haven't seen this posted up yet:

lots of classic elements of their sound and a bit of evolution, i think. I hope the rest of the album slays it...

[Huntor]

The album is pretty damn good imo.

Funniest shit I've heard in awhile.

 

[Datura]

Just bought it.

 

[Mwoit]

I've pre ordered the CD too.

Listening to a bit on Bandcamp, and this album sounds great! It reminds me when I was listening to Opeth for the first time years ago for some reason (and I mean that in an abstract and good way). I have high hopes for this.

 

[putnut77]

Been listening at least once a day for the past few days. I think this is one of, if not, Agalloch's best efforts. It's really good.
