Agalloch has fantastic lyrics imo weird that you don't think of them as a lyrically strong band. Aside from a few cheesy segments.

Ashes always had my favorite lyrics from them.

The lyrics is definitely corny as sin, we grow up from the song lyrics we bring to show and tell
if this great panorama before me
is what you call God
Then God is not dead
John definitely thought that line was profound

Lol. I love the lyrics, as cheesy as they can be. Except for the infamous "river of shadows" part (i read an interview where John said he wanted some vocals there and came up with it quickly in the studio and regrets it lmao).

Lmao Agalloch lyrics 101:
1. Similes out the ass
2. Bust out your thesaurus for “sad”/“dark”
• from Ghost: misery/lugubrious/sullen/despair/sorrow/tormenting
3. Talk about the sun, but call it “sol” every single time.

john screaming solstafir in not unlike the waves (solstafir means crepuscular rays btw) is a real mood

Not Unlike The Waves is a coward's simile to begin with

They got better as the band got older I thought the lyrics from Marrow onward were their best, including Faustian Echoes.

which is ironic because their music got worse after the white ep

Yeah lyrics on the later stuff are your general overwrought metalstentialism, instead of outright laughable

Come on guys, the lyrics are cool enough to be good tone setters and fit well with the music more times than not
Bunch of Edgar Allan Poes over here

I am the Wooden Doors is the only lyric track that doesn't have an lol line
And none of that matters cuz the music is great and it is still a 5 but Haughm is a goofy fella

i don't really find atmoblack or whatever you wanna call agalloch to be a very lyrically oriented style of music in general.

"Bunch of Edgar Allan Poes over here"
This comment tells me exactly what plane of discourse/lyricism we're on, and I want off
I do think that Agalloch are relatively lyrically oriented for a metal band though. Perhaps I'm correlating this with their relatively clear enunciation (by metal's garbled standards), but I've always felt like their lyrics were striving to be an active part of their Atmosphere - and, ngl, all cringes aside they're more successful at points than some of the baby guitarwork here
