I liked that

Steve wrote out the tab for the song Changing Weather, until the bass solo. It's so lame, there's no way I'm learning that ****ing thing by ear.

Not really digging it. :/

Knowing that the black metal thread will probably flame me for this, I'll ask it in here...what would you guys classify Agalloch as?

Regardless, I went ahead and got [I]The Mantle [/I]on some people's recomendations here; it's easily one of the best albums I've ever heard.

I'd probably say "Folk Metal" but that sounds pretty stupid. But yeah, I guess I'd go with that. Maybe Progressive but that's just about as meaningless.

Okay. All I know is I've gotten flamed to all hell for saying anything close to them "being black metal influenced".

Agalloch are hard to pin as a genre, but it is best to go with folk since it seems they get talked about most in the folk/viking thread.

I see. Thank you. I shall take my discussion there.

I usually just classify Agalloch as dark metal, which is kind of a broad term people use to describe the "darker" sounding metal bands. The Mantle is a great album but I'm more into Ashes Against The Grain, myself.

I am currently addicted to Agalloch. I can't stop listening to [I]Limbs[/I] and [I]Falling Snow[/I].

I'm currently addicted to 3750.

SHE WOKE UP THIS MORNING
WITH A BAD HANGOVER
BUT TONIGHT SHE WILL BE
GOING TO BED WITHOUT HER INSIDES

Those are hilariously bad lyrics.

i know :lol:

still addicted to the album though

Reminds me of some of Barnes's crappy lyricism. Seriously, "America the Brutal"?.

I like SFU, but I can't defend that.

You're right, you can't defend liking SFU, they're horrid.

Oh, damn. I just got owned.

Eh, I know they're not popular around here, but that wasn't my point, obviously.

But yeah, the song sort of progresses from that... it's basically a song about a serial killer with tuffguy hardcore level lyricism

but this part is awesome:
There is a reason for my actions.
There is a reason I raise my voice.
This isn't going to be long term.
I'll **** you, kill you, and leave you.

Those make Sarcofago's lyrics look like Shakespear

Welcome to the club, I like Nile but no one else does. :(

I cant put this across in a way that doesnt seem like me being an absolute tool but, i totally do not get Nile. At all. Just, everything about them seems so .. crap.

Credit where credit is due: there first 40 seconds or w/e of Lashed to the Slave Stick is cool.

[QUOTE=Luc214;15667307]Welcome to the club, I like Nile but no one else does. :([/QUOTE]

I like Nile.

I do too, but there not amazing.

The weird guitar tone kills Nile for me.

On all of there songs? I have never noticed a weird guitar tone...

Its the clean tone thats thrown in for the tech aspect. Idk, it just irritates me.

Oh That makes sense. I hate the song cast down the heretic.

That's their only song I like.

I think its really annoying.

I don't think The Mantle is a good album to use a starting point for people new to Agalloch. Anyone that's interested in them would probably be hooked on AAtG, specifically the 2 tracks C.O.A. mentioned, Limbs is so awesome. The first album I heard by them was The Mantle and I kind of gave up on them, but i heard AAtG
and loved it.

@Luc
I've got my own private little club too, I think me, Angmar, ICB, and repcak (though his posts here are few) are the only Nevermore fans. But kind of like what Squirrel said, I only like the first minute of one song, Sacrifice Unto Sebek.
