AGALLOCH Ashes aginst the grain Agalloch , an unknown act to me up untill a couple of month ago, and as you know in 2006 Released an alb*m entitled ''ashes against the grain''. Ashes begins, as they offten do, with track one: Limbs, Which stars out with an almost eriery tone before the drums are allowed to thunder in alongside, after 40 seconds or so passes, raising erieness to full on rock, which then slows right back down again to a steady enchanting sway ,only to once again be gradually raised to a more commanding metal sound, this time with the additon of suprisingly clear growels, the song continues in this rollercoster type fashion for the remainder of its 9minute duration, good eh?, i could continue to go through track by track over the entire album, but LImbs pretty much sets the standard with additional ''clean'' vocals following the harsher ones, dont want to compare to Opeth,so i wont, but its what i thought by the end Falling snow,Sorry! a comparrisson i will make, is that''Unlike the wave'' nearly has a Forefather-ish feel. ,also what came to mind is you wouldnt need to be a godlike editor to tie the entire alb*m together as one compleate work..to me its meant to be swollowed whole..in short i can take it or leave it....nah, its well, i cant think of a superlative that isnt over used, if you can..its that |

Listening to the Ashes Against the Grain alb*m now and it's brilliant! Would need a lot more listening for me to completely get into it but it's working great while I'm laying in the dark.

Has anyone heard their latest endevour? I've read 2 reviews stating something to the effect that is utterly dull and bores one to tears, however I am also really enjoying ashes aginst the grain, as well as their White Birch EP. Even my 5yr old nephew is going on about how awesome it is, lol! I'm hoping the reviews on the new alb*m are just the opinions of ppl who simply are not into this type of music... Their loss, then. :) |

Sorry haven't heard it yet. But seems like those critics have just listened to the alb*m once and haven't really tried to get into it. Agalloch is something you need to listen to again and again.
