""A Celebration For The Death Of Man" is the greatest and saddest songs I have ever heard in my life. And I'm 38 and have 40000 MP3s on my conputer and listened to them all.



The most amazing and underrated bands of all time. I loved it so much, I bought several copies AFTER I'd pirated it."

Way, way, way better than I anticipated.

"I read all of these positive reviews about this album, and I decided to buy this CD. I was expecting it to be good, but as it turns out, it's amazing. Words to describe the music...beautifull, romantic, down tempo, dark, honest, magical, unique, and certainly creative. As far as the doom metal genre is conscerned, Agalloch is one of the best. For fans of ULVER, and MY DYING BRIDE."

Patience pays off!!!!!

"I really can't decribe this except with three words- "folk metal masterpiece"! From the opening track of "Celebration for the Death of Man" to the closer, "A Desolation Song", each track is fabricated with it's own acoustic guitar / some electric guitar sound. What REALLY impresses me is the opening chord strumming up and down [on an acoustic guitar or an electric set at the cleanest level of sound resulting in chime and clarity]. The chords are pretty much endless, as they are presented in EVERY song on the album, 4 songs [including the 2 1/2 minute opener] of which are almost classical-like guitar chord instrumentals. Be warned- it takes GREAT patience to get into this album, especially at over 68 mins. It is f---ing WELL WORTH it, though!"
