Pacific Northwest dark metal legends AGALLOCH have completed work on
their fourth full-length entitled �Marrow Of The Spirit�, the follow-up
to 2006�s �Ashes Against The Grain�.
Where
the three predecessors to �Marrow Of The Spirit� (namely �Pale
Folklore�, �The Mantle�, and the aforementioned �Ashes Against The
Grain�) all differ from each other, the same can be applied with the new
album as �Marrow Of The Spirit� is unlike anything AGALLOCH have ever
produced before. This is also the first album to feature new AGALLOCH
drummer Aesop Dekker (also in Profound Lore acts LUDICRA and WORM
OUROBOROS) and features guest appearances by cellist Jackie Perez Gratz
(GRAYCEON, GIANT SQUID, ASUNDER, AMBER ASYLUM), Jeffrey Neblock
(VINDENSANG), and Nathan Carson (WITCH MOUNTAIN, TWO-TON BOA, SUNN
0)))). http://www.profoundlorerecords.com//index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=998&Itemid=2 |

I�ve just added the album, but I�m a bit in doubt which genre tag I should apply to it. For now it�s doom metal.

Really anticipated release, as I revere the previous two full-lengths (the first one is quite a magical one too, but does not possess the same amount of personal nostalgia as the next two).

I revere all of their albums to some extent (+ The White EP), although The Mantle is in my top 5 albums ever. I really hope they continue with this release.

One streamable track:

Hmm, both tracks are good. I won't say they completely blew me away... but Agalloch has always been a band that grows on you, so I'll just give them some time.

I think I liked the second track better than the first, but I've only heard each twice.
