Agalloch's debut album "Pale Folklore" is supposed to be a
masterpiece
of black/folk metal, but as I've never heard that one, I have
only this new
MCD to compare their musical abilities to.
It is a little
hard though, as I've not been handed an infosheet neither, but
somehow from
the cover it is clear that this is leftover material and older
recordings
from the band, spanning from the period of 1997 until today,
so they show a
little of everything. Some quite usual non-pro sounding
black metal with folk
influences, to all acoustic and instrumental guitar
tracks, that are really
the most entertaining stuff on this disc, as they show
a great glimpse of
talent in just that. Sounding to usual on the black metal
parts makes me just
think that they maybe should incorporate either
equally or go just the one
road for the best result.
Still, this 5 track MCD is a very nice piece of
music, and I must especially
pull out the awsome Sol Invictus coversong
"Kneel to the Cross" as
the big highlight on this one. Great and promising
stuff at the same time!
