Artist description "Pale Folklore" features eight tracks at a total running time of over sixty-two minutes. Very elaborate and diverse, and surrounded by the majesty of nature and the burden of human existence, the album bursts with melodies with a basis of dark yet very emotional concepts. Creating auras of dark, symphonic melancholia, "Pale Folklore" turns out to be one of the most tragic, mournful yet expressive listening experiences ever!

Music Style Dark Metal

Musical Influences Ulver, Ancient Wisdom, In The Woods, In The Nursery

Artist History The foundation of the band began in late 1995 when a doom/death project called Aeolachrymae was reduced to a pile of ash. From those ashes, three bands were born- Susurrus Inanis, Nothing and Agalloch. The primary goal in the beginning was to create majestic and epic dark metal. This vision was shared by the two main creators; J. Haughm and S. Breyer. In early 1996, a few songs slowly started to take form and in the summer, a 2nd guitarist, L. Anderson was found. Later in the Autumn, the debut demo "From Which Of This Oak" was recorded and shortly after it's release, a permanent bassist - J. William W. Joined the effort. In early 1998 the band recorded a new promo tape for labels only. The uniqueness of that promo got the band a deal with The End Records and in January of 1999 entered the studio to record their debut album.
