Background information about 'Of Stone, Wind, & Pillor (Remastered)'

Agalloch's haunting masterpiece "Of Stone, Wind, & Pillor" stands as one of the most compelling entries in the atmospheric metal canon, showcasing the band's incredible ability to weave together folk melodies with crushing metal passages. This remastered edition breathes new life into these five carefully crafted compositions, each one a journey through landscapes both physical and emotional. The album opens with its epic title track, a nearly seven-minute opus that perfectly encapsulates the band's signature blend of melancholic beauty and raw power, while "Foliorum Viridium" offers a brief but intensely atmospheric interlude that feels like wandering through ancient forests.

The collection continues to unfold with "Haunting Birds", where delicate acoustic passages give way to soaring metal crescendos, and the powerful "Kneel To The Cross" cover that transforms Sol Invictus's original into something entirely their own. The album closes with "A Poem By Yeats", a fitting tribute to literary beauty that showcases the band's intellectual depth alongside their musical prowess. Every note feels deliberate, every silence meaningful, creating an experience that's both deeply personal and universally resonant.

For fans of: Ulver, Katatonia, Empyrium, and Woods Of Ypres
