Too many reasons. But primarily they're boring.

Astral I get it, you're a black metal fan, Agalloch are too folksy for you. But still... You gotta go on a hike through some snowy woods while listening some time.



Mistacrave, lmao thank you! There's a lot of them. If you can spot all the puns/references you get 50 internets.



You're welcome Aiwaz, this needed a review and I believe it was you who told me to write one. Album is so addictive.

Uh one of my favourite genres is folk music.
I even make a lot of neofolk music.

Agalloch are boring.

Good review. It can't be physically possible to fit more Agalloch references in than this without it sounding silly, nice work. Not sure I understand the blowing tits off refs though so that bit came across as juvenile to me.



I'm very interested in this album, might actually get around to it one day.

@RustCohle



Agalloch and Pillorian mean a lot to me so if you feel I did them justice then that's the best compliment, thank you



@Sunlight



it's just an expression, like being blown away. I suppose I have a somewhat juvenile sense of humour sometimes.



@Evokaphile



the album just has no flaws in my opinion. I wish it was longer and had more clean singing, but those are just preferences. the album feels like a cold sleek obsidian shard, flawless for what it is.

No worries artiswar, you asked for critique & the only part of the review I didn't like was that expression I guess. Apart from that it's well written & conveys your opinion well.

I still have to listen to this - although it won't be in some remote cabin, deep in the ferns and trees. Probably in my car. Excellent review and thanks.

"Continues the downward spiral since Serpent and Sphere."

I agree with you on a lot of things zaryu and I love you but sometimes your onions are just foul and ridden with mold.

Thanks teamster. I hope you enjoy it, it's darker than your typical Agalloch, maybe not a car-ride type of album unless you're driving through a torrential rainstorm with Zeus hurling lightning bolts at you

This really needed a review, so thanks for contributing, and also great work even if the blatant overabundance of Agalloch puns made me shake my head every other line ;) This is a pretty good album. I enjoy it more than Serpent, but less than Marrow. There are certainly flourishes of Agalloch throughout, but overall it's a darker, arguably more metal, album than previous work.
