Description:

2014 release, the fifth album from the acclaimed Pacific Northwest Metal band, the follow-up to 2010's MARROW OF THE SPIRIT. THE SERPENT & THE SPHERE sees Agolloch take their progressive musical oeuvre to another level, all while maintaining their classic sound. It is an album that reveals the band's darkest, most meticulously crafted, and atmospherically surging work of their 17-year career. Captured by legendary producer/engineer Billy Anderson at Cloud City Studios in Portland, Oregon (and mixed by Anderson likewise at Everything Hz), THE SERPENT & THE SPHERE represents the most glorious sounding Agalloch album to date. Making a guest appearance is guitarist Nathanael Larochette of Canadian Neo-Folk band Musk Ox who wrote and provided the album's acoustic interludes.
