Background information about 'Pale Folklore (Deluxe Edition)'

Agalloch's debut masterpiece "Pale Folklore" stands as one of the most influential albums in atmospheric black metal history. Originally released in 1999, this Oregon-based collective crafted something truly extraordinary - a haunting blend of black metal fury, folk melodies, and post-rock sensibilities that would define a entire subgenre. The album's epic opener "She Painted Fire Across The Skyline" sets the tone with its 13-minute journey through melancholic landscapes, while tracks like "Dead Winter Days" and "As Embers Dress The Sky" showcase the band's ability to weave acoustic passages seamlessly into their metallic framework.

This deluxe edition not only presents the classic album in pristine quality but also includes "The Demonstration Archive 1996-1998", offering rare glimpses into Agalloch's formative years. The collection features tracks from their early demos "From Which Of This Oak" and the "Of Stone, Wind & Pillor" EP, plus promotional material and bonus content that reveals the evolution of their distinctive sound. These recordings capture the raw essence of what would become one of metal's most revered acts, making this release essential for understanding the full scope of Agalloch's artistic vision.

For fans of: Ulver, Drudkh, Wolves In The Throne Room, Burzum, and Blut Aus Nord
