The origins of Agalloch date back to 1995 and the radioactive decay of the stripe Aeolachrymae. As that group died, three phoenixes emerged from the ashes, Sussurrus Inanis, Nothing, and Agalloch. Mixing black metallic element with atmospheric textures, gothic doom, and neo-folk and post-rock touches, the Portland, OR-based group cursorily developed a fanatical cult following. Their first demonstration, From Which of This Oak, was recorded in 1996; in 1998, they recorded another demo and shopped it around to labels. Their efforts paid off as the group landed a deal with The End Records. The following year the guys -- vocalist/guitarist John Haughm, bassist Jason William Walton, guitarist John Anderson, and keyboardist Shane Breyer -- released their experimental and brooding debut, Pallid Folklore. The EP Of Stone, Wind and Pillor appeared in 2001 earlier Agalloch's critically acclaimed sophomore movement, The Mantle, shoot stores in 2002. Four age passed earlier the band released their succeeding full-length, Ashes Against the Grain, again to senior high school critical and fan kudos.
