Agalloch

[Si1v3RfaNg]

This band deserves their own thread, it's how amazing they are.

[McP3000]

they're cool, ive grown out of them a bit though.

I still give The Mantle a decent spin every once in a while.

[Angmar]

That's cause ur gay mcpimp

[Si1v3RfaNg]

Idk, The Mantle IMO is the worst of their three "full" albums, but it's still amazing. I think The White EP is the best of the EP's.

[McP3000]

That's cause ur gay mcpimp
no ur mr gay

[Si1v3RfaNg]

Nah, I like AATG the best, it may not be as impressive instrument-wise, but I like the even more calming effect of that album. Don't get me wrong though, I still love The Mantle.

[Anglachel]

agalloch is one of those bands you listen to when you're a 14 y/o retarded metalhead

What?

[Benzum]

Yeah band rules pretty hard. I've been enjoying The White EP the most lately.

[Anglachel]

What?

shut up whore
everyone i know loved them when we were 14 and were all grown out of agalloch now :(

[Angmar]

That's because they suck at life OK!?!?!

[Anglachel]

i agree


EDIT: wait i mean

nou

[Benzum]

Anglachel do you suck dick for crack money?

[Anglachel]

nigga my dick gets sucked for crack money

[Benzum]

oh damn; respect redeemed. But wouldn't that mean you have crack whores sucking your dick?

You're wrong about Agalloch though.

[Anglachel]

oh damn; respect redeemed. But wouldn't that mean you have crack whores sucking your dick?

yeah so

You're wrong about Agalloch though.


i know shutup you oblivioudioudsifaudoisajhfdhv fagit

[Si1v3RfaNg]

lol And no dude I'm not 14... I turn 19 in December.

[Benzum]

That's practically 17! It's difficult to gauge when a brain stops being a piece of flesh inside your skull and more of a tool used to judge right and wrong in the modern world.

[Anglachel]

lol And no dude I'm not 14... I turn 19 in December.
w/e you say kiddo

[Angmar]

stupid mallcore kiddies

[Benzum]

I wouldn't call Agalloch stupid mallcore kiddies at all.

[Angmar]

I was talking about fang tbh

[Benzum]

Si1v3RfaNg gets way too much hate on here even if he is way behind the times with metal and makes threads on bands

[McP3000]

i hate how MX is so trendy with metal

[Benzum]

That's only because you perceive the discussion of metal to be trendy.

[iamtherobots]

ashes against the grain tbh

[Si1v3RfaNg]

Does anybody know if their in the process of writing a new album?

[Benzum]

They'll release something new sooner or later yeah.

[Si1v3RfaNg]

I just finished The White EP and really enjoy it. Hopefully they do something that's in the realm of that, although I'm sure whatever they decide to do will be amazing.

[Benzum]

Not many guys really got The White EP but because IMO they compared it to Ashes and The Mantle; EP was really great. No matter what they release next I'll be checking it out because the band as a whole is great, case ****ing closed.

[Si1v3RfaNg]

Yeah their up there in my favorites.

[Cocaine]

Ashes Against the Grain winning is almost as lol as Anglachel acting like he's super mature because he liked Agalloch when he was fourteen but he's since grown out of them (and he's, what, 15 now?)

[Benzum]

Exactly what a douchebag.

[Si1v3RfaNg]

Ashes Against the Grain winning is almost as lol as Anglachel acting like he's super mature because he liked Agalloch when he was fourteen but he's since grown out of them (and he's, what, 15 now?)

What's your favorite by them Tyler?

[Cocaine]

Pale Folklore, though sometimes it's the Mantle. I love Ashes, too, but it's never in the running.

[Si1v3RfaNg]

Idk I like how relaxing Ashes is... but both The Mantle and Pale Folklore are better when it comes to the instruments.

[Cocaine]

You make it sound like there's anything technically impressive on PF or TM. There isn't.

[FatalEnergy]

Pale Folklore

[Benzum]

You make it sound like there's anything technically impressive on PF or TM. There isn't.

I agree very much but still doesn't mean people can't appreciate it for what the musicians in the band are actually playing. I mean it's not about the music; it's about the message.

What are you talking about? I'm not saying they need to be technical or that I care. I'm saying I have no idea what Silverfang is on about when he talks about PF or TM being "more instrumentally impressive".

[Nostalgia]

Pale Folklore is terribly cheesy, though almost every Agalloch album is. The Mantle used to be my favorite, but the only thing I listen to from them is "Tomorrow Will Never Come" and " From Which of this Oak." FWTO is probably my favorite release from them, a very different Agalloch you see there.

[Benzum]

I was just simply agreeing with what you were saying to be honest!

[Si1v3RfaNg]

No I don't mean it's technically proficient or anything... I just mean the instruments do more on The Mantle and Pale Folklore, whereas IMO the songwriting is better on Ashes.

[Nostalgia]

Well AATG is more post-rock IMO. It has some amazing songs, but there's only two or three I like and I think the rest of the album is crap.

[Si1v3RfaNg]

:( Well I'd say my second favorite as of now is The White EP... but as for their LP's I'd say the second best is Pale Folklore.

[Benzum]

Well AATG is more post-rock IMO. It has some amazing songs, but there's only two or three I like and I think the rest of the album is crap.

Hmm well nothing about the band is really post-rock AT ALL IMO but I get where you're coming from. Also calling the tracks that you don't get "crap" is a bit of a dick move.

[Si1v3RfaNg]

They definately have some post metal influences though.

[Nostalgia]

i dont even listen to post rock/post metal and i can tell that AATG has TONS of post-rock influences.

How so? There's a lot of filler on that album.

I don't think theres any filler at all, it just might not be your thing dude.

[Nostalgia]

This White Mountain is just a filler song with nothing interesting to display, and out of the three "Fortress" songs Bloodbirds is the only one even mildly good. I haven't listened to the album in a while, but what I remember it dragged on even more than their previous albums.

I love Agalloch, I just know they're a little pretentious and not as amazing as everyone makes them out to be.

[Benzum]

How so? There's a lot of filler on that album.

Agalloch are seriously good. I'm a really pretentious songwriter but this band have a majorly good grasp of albums, as a musical concept; not just something you listen to from start to finish as a laugh but something you can hear and absorb

[Anglachel]

Ashes Against the Grain winning is almost as lol as Anglachel acting like he's super mature because he liked Agalloch when he was fourteen but he's since grown out of them (and he's, what, 15 now?)
that wasnt srs omg


and excuse me

i'm 15.5

[Nosferatu]

i am a really big fan of Agalloch. The Mantle is their best, imo, with Pale Folklore a close second. Ashes could've been their best but like someone else before me mentioned, there is some filler on that album, at least to me, and obviously to him. The album starts off great but once it gets past track 5, i usually turn it off.

That's exactly how I feel. However, I still think it's their best album.

[Si1v3RfaNg]

Yeah "Our Fortress is Burning" is great... why all the hate?

[Bleak]

It just kinda drags a bit for me.

[Si1v3RfaNg]

I guess so... my fave song by them right now is "Pantheist" though... the vocal harmonies about 5 or 6 mins in are breathtaking.

[Bleak]

I haven't checked out the White EP yet. Should I?

[Ventriloquist]

Yeah.

[Nosferatu]

definately check it out. in fact, check out ALL of their discography, if you haven't already.

[Si1v3RfaNg]

definately check it out. in fact, check out ALL of their discography, if you haven't already.

This.

[masscows]

the mantle is their best album by and gone

[Mr. Ron]

Lately I consider Ashes to be their best, imo.

[Txus]

White EP was ****ing terrible

[Si1v3RfaNg]

White EP was ****ing terrible

How was it terrible?

[Txus]

It's very boring, it goes nowhere and it lacks the Agalloch "feel" i loved. It's just a very different agalloch sound, even morseo than AATG, and I really hope they don't follow that path. I don't know if they're releasing another album either way.

I feel like listening FWOTO, such a great album.

[Si1v3RfaNg]

I gotta download it.

[Txus]

It's probably their second best release after The Mantle. But that's just me.

[Ceminon]

I am physically unable to vote in this poll. Idk, Ashes used to be my favorite, but The Mantle has creeped its way up there to side with Ashes.

I personally like The White, by the way. Just not in the way that it can make you suddenly notice at some intense moments that your mouth is open and that your shoulders have sagged down.
Fire Above, Ice Below, In The Shadow Of Our Pale Companion and Blood Birds are such powerful songs.

[UpperDecker]

I can't believe the guy a couple posts up doesn't like The White EP (even though we all have our own opinion). Its really relaxing, good soundscapes, and great acoustic. I couldn't ask for more.

[Si1v3RfaNg]

Yeah I really enjoy The White EP... especially that part in "Pantheist" with the epic vocal harmonies.

[SKUDstorm]

the white ep bored the ****ing **** out of me. best album would be the mantle or pale folklore

[Nostalgia]

the white ep is a joke.

[pate]

It's terrible.

[Meatplow]

never listened to this group

[McP3000]

cool story bro

download the mantle and get an opinion

[Meatplow]

i will!

[FatalEnergy]

The White EP just sounded rushed. Like they really didn't think it through.

It does have it's good moments.

[masscows]

I enjoy the White tbh
