Not sure if this belongs in the main board. I'm erring on the side of not offending people with metal.
Anyway! I got turned onto band from a friend who casually piqued my curiosity when I overheard him talking to someone about his love of pagan/folk metal. So I asked him, hey, I've been curious about some of that kinda stuff. Where do I start. He made me a list, with Agalloch underlined and starred. Cool, thanks dood. So I checked them out.
Holy crap is this good stuff. It reminds me of the melancholy melodicism of melodic death metal from Scandinavia from the 90s, crossed with the post-emo/post-rock indie stuff from the late 90s/early 2000s. Heavy, melodic, moody. Just how I like it.
I've been listening to Pale Folklore just about every day for a week, and I just picked up The Mantle and The White/The Grey, and am devouring those with great aplomb.
Anyone else a fan?
