  • Agalloch – The Serpent and the Sphere

    From beginning to end this album is a wonder, combining moments of crushing heaviness with overwhelming beauty, and I found it a tall order to find the words to describe this feat. Produced by Billy Anderson and featuring three acoustic interludes, and using elements like a waterphone and a 100 year old zither, Agalloch’s The Serpent…

  • Agalloch / Taurus / Musk Ox @ Opera House, Toronto ON, July 23, 2012

    By Laura Wiebe The relationship between musicians and the music they play comes in varying kinds. Some artists are clearly intent on displaying their mastery of the musical tools they wield. Others are more willing to relinquish control, letting the music itself dictate the ways it’s conveyed. Agalloch’s latest visit to Toronto was of the…

  • Agalloch – Faustian Echoes

    After loving an album as layered and powerful as 2010’s Marrow of the Spirit, my expectations and hopes for Agalloch’s new EP, Faustian Echoes, have been. . . complicated. After all, it is only a single song release, but at the same time its running length of just over twenty minutes means that it’s hardly…

  • Agalloch – Marrow of the Spirit

    By Jonathan Smith Four years since the release of their last full-length album, Oregon’s Agalloch have emerged from the woods to offer Marrow of the Spirit. 2006’s Ashes Against the Grain was a milestone demonstration of how heavy the band could be, a bombastic, mostly mid-tempo romp through the sublime aspects of nature. The White…

  • Hauntingly Epic: Agalloch, Worm Ouroboros, and Musk Ox @ London Music Hall, March 25th, 2011

    … metal diehards, hipsters, neo-folk enthusiasts, those who were just curious, and presumably many combinations thereof. Larochette’s enthusiasm continued throughout his performance. He stopped at several points to further whip up expectations for the soon-to-be-performing main act. His question “How many of you have never seen Agalloch before” was meet with cheers, re-affirming that the…

  • Long Distance Calling: Avoid The Light

    By Jonathan Smith Germany’s Long Distance Calling have created quite the slow-burn of an album with Avoid The Light. The band’s music is often described as a mixture of “post-rock” and “post-metal,” and while listening it’s easy to conjure up comparisons with a group like Godspeed You Black Emperor! but also with the more drawn…
