Agalloch

Musical Group

Agalloch was an American metal band formed in Portland, Oregon in 1995. Across five studio albums (1999–2014) they blended black metal, folk, doom and post-rock into atmospheric, nature-themed music. The band ceased activity in 2016.

Formed in Portland, Oregon in 1995. Released five full-length albums between 1999 and 2014. Frequently described as blending black metal, folk, doom and post-rock with recurring lyrical/themes of nature and melancholy. Disbanded in 2016.

DeBaser reviews praise Agalloch's distinctive fusion of black metal, folk, doom and post-rock. Critics highlight evocative nature-themed atmospheres and long, evolving compositions. Key albums repeatedly noted are Pale Folklore, The Mantle, Ashes Against the Grain, Marrow of the Spirit and The Serpent & the Sphere. Reviewers observe stylistic evolution across releases. Overall reception on DeBaser is strongly favorable.

For:Fans of atmospheric, melancholic metal and neofolk; listeners who appreciate nature-themed, genre-blending music.

 Usually, debut albums are the ones that make the most resounding impact, and the Agalloch's "Pale Folklore" (1999) from Portland, Oregon does not break this rule, although it betrays a slight inexperience of the band.

 Five albums and five EPs released in a career that unfortunately suddenly ended in 2016... and it didn't end well between the band members.
