Number 2 out of 15:
Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain
Favorite track:
Falling Snow
This is definitely an album that I wanted to bring to this list sooner rather than later, for a variety of reasons, a big one being...this album is exactly what I was hoping to hear when I heard there was some post/black metal floating around. The rhythm at the beginning pulls me into the entire song (listed as my favorite above) right away, and it continues to do so throughout, which the album does as well. I quickly checked out their other albums and got the same feel give or take a bit of excitement, but they all seemed to give me the same impression, this is some damn good post black metal, if that's what they call it anyway, i'm just labeling it from what I hear. I also found a vinyl rip of the album online, and i've been keeping it in my mind that I should try to track down a vinyl copy of the album, just to sort of have it in my possession at all times.
