RE: Alternative Weekend: Long Songs

in Alternative Weekend • 4 years ago

Sorry to say I'm not a fan of any of the above. 😄

Agalloch is more to my taste, they're very good at lengthy tracks. My favourite album of theirs is The Mantle which has two pretty long ones.

I rarely listen to individual songs though, I tend to listen to whole albums.

Sort:  

An American Folk Metal band? That is one strange combination.. I have never heard of them.., long songs you say.. well.. that's a good start.

Agalloch are a bit hard to pin down to one genre. They're sort of a combo of progressive / doom / folk. I find their music very atmospheric and relaxing.

Early Anathema were the doom and gloom boys complete with growls. They are from Liverpool but sound much different now.

Indeed, though Agalloch are quite different from them. I can't explain, you'll have to give them a listen, lol.

I will have a go, ta!

I'm an album listener too. I don't know Agalloch, but I may check them out. We can all like different things and that's fine as more variety makes life more interesting.

Absolutely! I do have a fairly broad taste in music, from Springsteen to Slayer and a whole lot inbetween. Variety is the spice of life and all that. 🙂
