The Serpent & The Sphere

by AGALLOCH

sv_godspeed Beautiful piece of music...a real shame that this is the last album that they released (...so far?). Great blend of metal and acoustics, perhaps more musically refined but not as innovative as some of their previous releases. Favorite track: Dark Matter Gods.

Terminal Lucidity A most beautiful and timeless band and album. Favorite track: Birth and Death of the Pillars of Creation.

Wound of Briccius A journey through metaphysical space and the cosmos, The Serpent & The Sphere is an amazing album by an amazing band. Acoustics paired with BM never fails to disappoint, and AGALLOCH nailed it perfectly. Perfect for both active and passive listening, this beautiful piece of Atmospheric Black Metal should be lauded as a perfect example of the subgenre for all the rest to follow. Favorite track: The Astral Dialogue.

Acclaimed Pacific Northwest metal band AGALLOCH have completed work on their new album “The Serpent & The Sphere,” the follow-up to 2010’s “Marrow Of The Spirit.”

“The Serpent & The Sphere” sees AGALLOCH take their progressive musical oeuvre to another level, all while maintaining the classic AGALLOCH sound. It is an album that reveals the band’s darkest, most meticulously crafted, and atmospherically surging work of their nineteen-year career.

Captured by legendary producer/engineer Billy Anderson at Cloud City Studios in Portland, Oregon (and mixed by Anderson likewise at Everything Hz), “The Serpent & The Sphere” represents the most glorious sounding AGALLOCH album to date. Making a guest appearance is guitarist Nathanaël Larochette of Canadian neo-folk band Musk Ox who wrote and provided the album’s acoustic interludes.

An album that I heard all too late, but one that has massively shaped my recent music taste, and with the bands split, it has opened me up to two amazing bands in the last year. Big fan of all of Patriakh's work, and Batushka aswell, but this is still the best album of the bunch, where it all started! kaw1392

It feels like the funeral doom counterpart to Sleep's Dopesmoker. A single, long stream of consciousness that evolves over time while maintaining a meditative focus. An instant classic. Viv(Ian)
