Absolutely can not wait for this. Agalloch fans have to wait every 4 years for one of these, and they are always a treat. John posted some photos of their recording on his facebook page, see mid-December.
I was wet in the panties anticipating this release, every album they have released has been my kind of music, atmosphere is what they really have going for and I have yet to be disappointed, even with the EP's and Split with nest which was stunning.
Celestial Effigy is a suitable for Agalloch. It sounds Pale Folklorey with a heavy Ashes direction. Please don't fuck this up.
