Black Lake Nidstang > The Watcher's Monolith > Ghosts of the Midwinter Fires > Into the Painted Gray = To Drown > They Escaped the Weight of Darkness

Into the Painted Grey

Ghost of the Midwinter Fires

Black Lake Nidstang

They Escaped the Weight of Darkness

To Drown

Although, i usually just listen to the intro and Into the Painted Gray back-to-back. I think the intro complements it really well.

Album Rating: 3.5

The clouds prepare for battle

In the dark and brooding silence.

Bruised and sullen stormclouds

Have the light of day obscured.

Looming low and ominous

In twilight premature

Thunderheads are rumbling

In a distant overture



All at once, the clouds are parted.

Light streams down in bright unbroken beams



Follow men's eyes as they look to the skies.

The shifting shafts of shining weave the fabric of their dreams

Two random facts:



1) For those who didn't read the fine print on their CD--Agalloch didn't compose or perform any of "They Escaped the Weight of Darkness." So, it's strange to call it an Agalloch song. It's all written by Jackie Perez Gratz. You should check out her work with Grayceon...their new material is killer (saw it live a month back) and the album will be released on Profound Lore in the coming months.



2) If you're wondering what a Nidstang is...check out "nith" and "nithing pole" on Wikipedia.
