Description
Smoke 2-LP in triple gatefold cover with 12-page LP booket. Limited to 500 copies.
The Mantle, the second studio album by US band Agalloch, was released in 2002 and is now considered a milestone in atmospheric metal. With a unique blend of post-rock, neo-folk and black metal, the album unfolds a melancholic soundscape that is deeply rooted in North American natural romanticism and urban isolation. Guitar runs are reminiscent of early works by Godspeed You! Black Emperor, while acoustic passages and doomy riffs provide emotional depth.
In charge of the compositions and the characteristic sound of the album is singer, guitarist and main songwriter John Haughm, who created a dark, introspective atmosphere with his vision. Songs like “In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion” show Agalloch's flair for epic structures and narrative depth.
