Hey guys, I was just wondering who does and who doesn't know Agalloch. If you do know them, I would like you to rank their albums, demos and EPs included, starting with your favorite at the top.
Pale Folklore
It's the only one I have. They're not that good...
They are amongs one of the best atmospheric metal bands out there. Each one of their albums has a unique sound and feeling. The ambiences are great and can make you think about a billion different things, especially with the lyrics.
Have you ever listenned to Falling Snow by them? I suggest you give it a few listens and listen to the lyrics. Strangly, this song reminds me of silence, of silence in a winter forest. It's kind of strange to say that a song could make you think of silence, right? Well, it does.
Since you live in England, I thought it would be easier to catch the feeling of their music for you. With all the fog and rain, you guys have pretty much the same climate as the state of Oregon, which is obviously one of their inspirations for their music.
If you are not listenning to their music for the ambiences, then of course, you won't like it. Even though the riffs are catchy and awesome. Most important part of their music is pretty much the ambience, then follows the song structures themselves. I still think they are pretty amazing on all the levels :)
