good stuff noctus

Whoa, Marrow of the Spirit dropped a year and a half ago already? Man, time travels fast...

Digging: William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops II

Album Rating: 3.5

This was much better than I was expecting after Marrow, so I am pleased. It doesn't, however, even touch their old stuff. I like how heavy - how unexpectedly heavy - this was, but the riffs are still lacking and the variety in instrumentation isn't nearly as important a feature as before.

Digging: Kalmah - Seventh Swamphony

let's go back to 2006

After reading this I'm convinced that you really should he the front runner for a contributor spot. Really solid work man, always a pleasure.

Digging: Eluvium - Nightmare Ending

There are a fair few things that need fixin' in this here review, such as:

For a band with such a mutual creative talent, it's a lot better for them to just let them continue forging their own path and not paying attention to what people want or expect.

Also, 'farcry' is two words, not one.

shit is tight yo

I absolutely love this. I feel like a lot of people on this site will never listen to agalloch again unless they release Ashes pt. II

sounds cool..

dank as fuck

I think you'd really like this, Zed, its very good. Just finished listening to it.

Good review, Noctus.
POS'd

Digging: The Pyramids - Lalibela

I thought Marrow was awesome so I'll check this soon.

Digging: Altar of Plagues - Teethed Glory and Injury

Album Rating: 3.5

Dropping the acoustic atmosphere is seriously going to kill Agalloch for me. But I do like how they upped the production standard on this one. Did not expect this to be so heavy.

fixed minor errors, thanks guys! :]

nice work Noctus and grats for the feature!

Digging: Trade - Sheworks005

nice review mr. Noctus.

Digging: Mouth of the Architect - Quietly

Album Rating: 3.5

Nice review Noctus. Still need to hear this b/c bandcamp isn't loading at the office / haven't felt like getting some headphones hooked up to the PC at home.

And yeah, echo the sentiment about the acoustic stuff...the instrumentals on The Mantle (especially Odal & Hawthorne Passage) are some of my favorite Agalloch tracks.

"Dropping the acoustic atmosphere is seriously going to kill Agalloch for me."

Exactly how I feel. I need to give this a good listen though.
