The Dark Psyche – Review

December 8, 2006

I like Hellhammer and Venom more than Cradle of Filth, and a good number of bands on this comp play that cool, old school, broken down, punk-influenced style.

Agalloch – Ashes Against the Grain – Review

October 6, 2006

Sprawling and expansive, yet it retains certain classic elements. Doom, enhanced by cavernous vocals, creates a sort of controlled black metal symphony.

Agalloch – The Mantle – Review

January 3, 2003

There’s a real chilly, sparse beauty here. Mostly acoustic, with very few vocals (which is good: the vocals are echo-drenched blah when they surface).

At The End of Infinity – [Echoes & Thoughts of Wonder] – Review

November 11, 2002

The bands whisper of longing and desire, yet quietly seethe and stare into the fire, thinking terrible thoughts. Get this if you like Dead Can Dance and metal.

Agalloch – Pale Folklore – Review

September 1, 1999

A mixture of Goth rock and black metal vocals, occasional doomy plods, interspersed with wind-swept mountain views and staggering ballerina keyboard tinkles.
