Metal Thread VII: The Mosh Pit Don't Start 'Til We Walk In

[ex cathedra]

Agalloch was gooood. Their primary tour-mates are a two-peice drone/doom outfit called Taurus. To oversimplify, they resembled sped-up Sunn O))) if Steven O'Malley and Greg Anderson were female and had received strong visual influences from Alejandro Jodorowsky. They weren't particularly bad.

Agalloch's set list was something like

Show

• Limbs
• Ghosts of the Midwinter Fires (the only Marrow track in the entire set)
• Faustian Echoes
• Falling Snow
• Hallways of Enchanted Ebony
• As Embers Dress the Sky
• You Were But a Ghost in My Arms
• In The Shadow of Our Pale Companion
• Kneel to the Cross
• Of Stone, Wind, and Pillor (thus began the pseudo-encore)
• Our Fortress is Burning I
• Our Fortress is Burning II: Bloodbirds

Lots of Ashes, which was great. Not very much of The Mantle, but to be fair In The Shadow is like 15 minutes long.

The Sol Invictus cover was great. I drove like 700 miles this weekend, but all in all (even though the venue's sound felt a bit off) it was pretty swell. Saulot and Godspit are catching this tour as well, yeah? Hopefully that goes well.

I forgot to mention how legit I found this.
