honeycombguy I'll admit, this isn't my go to Agalloch record most days. However, it's still a pretty good atmospheric black metal album in its first half, before shifting into a generally more subdued sound for the rest of its runtime. Favorite track: The Watcher's Monolith.

Sponge Troy Me Bob I'll forever fucking miss Agalloch

Also anyone who thinks that this is a weak album has some wimp-ass baby ears Favorite track: The Watcher's Monolith.

el_merko A masterpiece of dark folksy black metal. Spiritually immense and powerful. Favorite track: Ghosts Of The Midwinter Fires.

about

Marrow of the Spirit, Agalloch's fourth album. Darker, colder and more aggressive than anything they have done in the past, but no less critically acclaimed than their other full-lengths. Recorded and mixed entirely on vintage analog equipment.

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 189 fans who also own “Marrow of the Spirit”

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf

Roads To The North
by Panopticon

supported by 143 fans who also own “Marrow of the Spirit”

Le son des pieds qui s'enfoncent dans la neige, un black metal atmosphérique qui s'abat comme une tempête de grêle et tranche la peau, des violons polaires : Roads To The North est aussi glacial qu'un album de Paysage d'Hiver (surtout Schnee). En tout cas au début. Panopticon nous invite en fait moins à une méditation statique qu'à une randonnée, une ascension jusqu'aux sommets. On y accède à pieds en surpassant la douleur, en train en profitant du folklore. C'est un grand parcours initiatique. Jordan Vauvert

Litourgiya
by Batushka

supported by 141 fans who also own “Marrow of the Spirit”

Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime. Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques.
