This is a quite sad story for me really. I heard about Agalloch when I found out that they would come to Athens. I right away was surprised what kind of loyal fanbase they have. Their music immediately captured me and spoke to me in some ways I cannot explain. This is of course post-black metal, atmospheric black metal or experimental black metal or whatever you want to call it. The vocals are mostly black metal, but musically it has evolved a lot.
The concert was great. The place was packed and there was so much enthusiasm. The band did a great job, I remember being swept away by John Haughm's vocals. And well, there comes the sad part.
Agalloch have parted ways recently, mostly it seems because of John Haughm leaving. It's sad for me, to just discover a great band and then lose them again. But I can call myself so lucky that I saw them live and got the opportunity to experience that.
There are some songs that truly move me. "The Lodge", "Birch White" and their (much stronger) version of the Sol Invictus song "Kneel to the cross" are gems, magical and mysterious songs.
Goodbye Agalloch and thank you.
