Agalloch - Marrow Of The Spirit (2010)

The fourth album from this band from USA.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and vocals.

Some guests added vibraphone, glockenspiel, moog, piano, cello, samples and backing vocals.

This is a review I should have done back in 2010 when I was in touch with the band. But I postponed it time after time. The music too much of a challenge to me back then.

The music is indeed a challenge. It is a mix of post-metal, some ambient music and a lot of standard black metal.

This one hour long album delivers some very eclectic music indeed. The black metal vocals is off putting for most. The ambient and progressive stuff is something the black metal crowd will find off putting.

It is a matter of alienate everyone from the music.

The sound is decent enough and so is the music. The opening minute of this album is the best part of this album and a false dawn.

Post metal fans should check out this decent album.
