Not to be outdone by their countrymen in Wolves in the Throne Room, the Oregonians in Agalloch have formally announced the release of their fifth record The Serpent & the Sphere, to mass expectorations from anyone who has decent taste in metal. Riding the coattails of their 2010 opus Marrow of the Spirit, and the 22-minute one-song EP Faustian Echoes, the Serpent & the Sphere will undoubtedly continue to show the band's evolution as one of the driving forces behind atmospheric black and folk metal.
The record is slated for release on May 13th through Profound Lore. Personally, with releases from Alcest, Opeth, WITTR, and Woods of Desolation on the horizon, this is going to be a year to wander and wax melancholy in the forest.
