Those track names sound very Agalloch, can definitely tell this is Haughm's band

Art looks pretty bleak:

here's hoping a new project brings new inspiration (same for the other ex-agalloch bros)

Album title suggests that this will be as mediocre as their last few releases.

I'm not as impressed with the album art as others seem to be, but love the song titles and still incredibly excited to hear this. I can't imagine a Uada/ex-Agalloch collab being bad.

This could be good despite what the negative assholes have to say. Having a new band could bring some new inspiration. I could be wrong but I'm not gonna shit on it before I hear it like a message board troll

It's always a good idea to keep an open mind and there are definitely some pretty wild inferences from the tracklisting, album title, artwork, etc. Both Agalloch and Uada have released quality material in the past so there is a ton of potential in this project.

idk, im pretty fuckin stoked. i know Serpent wasnt the best album but everything else Agalloch did was fucking fantastic, and if John is involved in this im sure itll be good.

I'm definitely looking forward to this as I've loved pretty much everything Agalloch has ever done

That Uada album was solid but nothing groundbreaking/breathtaking so I'm curious as to how the two influences will come together

"In advance of the album release, a 7” single for “A Stygian Pyre” will be released on Feb 10th and will contain an exclusive B-side track."

This sort of reeks of "the albums not ready but we need money now" though
