This band is amazing, though this EP isn't quite up to their usual standards. I find a lot of the material here either decent or average (for the band) and nothing really grabs me in the way The Mantle or tracks from Pale Folklore managed to. Personally, the most interesting song was the band's cover of Sol Invictus' "Kneel to the Cross".

Another EP from Agalloch. This time, we have a mix of their traditional folk black metal styling (the title track), acoustic ("Haunting Birds,") and more experimental stuff (the other songs). This is an engaging, varied clutch of material, strong all the way through.

It's kind of interesting when you compare Agalloch to the rest of the American black metal scene. Because besides Weakling and perhaps Wolves In The Throne Room, no band is even close to being as influential in that scene as Agalloch was. The interesting part is that black metal is but one piece to Agalloch's large puzzle, which this EP displays very well. The opener/title-track and the very well done cover of Sol Invictus' "Kneel To The Cross" are both examples of rich folk metal mixed with atmospheric and evocative black metal, not only instrumentally, but vocally as well, echoing their efforts on Pale Folklore. "Florium Voridium" and "Haunting Birds" are two dark folk songs that show that Agalloch doesn't need to be constrained to metal to write great songs, and closer "A Poem By Yeates" is an emotionally vibrant and brooding neoclassical piece. Overall, Of Stone, Wind & Pillor shows Agalloch's large range and songwriting capabilities that would only be expressed more later on in their careers.
