Don't let the opening track set the flavor of the entire album, these guys eventually do get their horns up. I believe that this is a "concept album" as it seems to tell some kind of a story. Guitarist/writer/vocalist, John Haughm ventured to the Romanian Carpathian Mountains for inspiration to write this album, and it shows especially on the second track "Into the Painted Grey". I have always pictured in my mind that everything is grey over there, you know somehow the sun never shines in the land of Dracula; and now I know it is true after listening to this album! This genre is black folk metal similar to Enslaved, whom I like also. If you like Opeth (my favorite) you would like this too. Those who know vintage King Crimson, will like this too. The music finds a groove and rides it for many bars, but that is part of the allure of this band. They are a little spooky, dark, and doomy. Sit back and let your mind wander while you listen to Agalloch, Marrow of the Spirit, preferably while under the influence of something. It will help you for the journey that they take you on.Read full review
