If I were stranded on an island with nothing but a gigantic stereo, and I could only choose one band to play for the rest of my time on the island, it would be Agalloch.
most black metal bands makes me feel like i am in a dark forest and dying of cold but this band make feel like i am in a hot room drink coffee with my friends and outside it;s freezing like hell!!! Absolutely amazing!!!!
@gavinmoose Let me know when you hear music like this coming from Somalia. People are not the vehicles, they are the sole creators and progenitors, music is a reflection of their soul, not the other way around. Due to this, their upbringing and culture and environment very much abides by nations.
I'm emotionally shocked of how incredible good and magnificent this song is. Not mention the fact that this kind of music is created by a metal band. (Stupid fucks like Venom, and other "TOUGH, ANGRY" metal bands are nothing compared to this kind of instrumental masterpiece. Sorrow, deep atmosphere, emotion, this is the meaning of Odal for me. EPIC.
@Anger9172 im sorry but venom is badass , comparing these two bands or types of music at all is, well its just kinda silly. its like comparing creed to slayer
severing my spirit. its filt me up with ridden guilt.i see my father holding my mother passing on as the ghost they are. passing through me. severing my spirit. like rain, its the tears that melt away my glass face. overwhelemed in grace i hope there journey only led them safely.i pray they made it to heaven and beyond.wether i believe in such a place or not.
thanks agalloch. you made music that reminds me of my past parents faces. i felt like i forgot what they looked like.
This song feels like a romantic kiss from death in the isolation of a frostbitten tundra. By the end, the piano starts, it slows down, and your essence fades. The sense of atmosphere and naturalism this brings to me is indescribable.
I've been typing sentences and then erasing them for about 5 minutes now. I just can't find the right words to express myself about this song. It's truly a wonder.
So many bands of genres relevant to this are inspired by political ideals and aesthetics. Agalloch transcends all of that bullshit and nails the perfect atmosphere for just kicking up your feet, or for more focused and serious introspection. I know these guys certainly get enough praise by their devoted cult following without me posting this comment, but they are by no means overrated.
Alright I am new to this band and I cannot decide which album to buy from them so screw it I am buying them all, they all sound so amazing!!! Dark yet uplifting, epic yet depressing, beauty in death.
This makes me feel like I should be on another level, away from worry, despair, hate, it makes me feel like i should move away from modern civilization and enjoy the rest of my days (:
Lol this is the first video i've ever been to where nobody is arguing about pointless things. I guess this band is just that amazing that EVERYBODY loves them :D
i know, i wish i could see them live..id drive anywhere in this country if i knew they would be playing, i heard really the only place in America they do play in their home town...but i would be down to go to Portland any day!
i saw them a few years ago in what was basically the attic of a sweaty little divebar in san francisco, one of the best shows ive ever been to, and they played this song
