For twenty years the Portland-based Dark Metal group Agalloch defined what it meant to combine influences from a variety of musical genres into one brooding, colossal, and cinematic sound. Over the course of five full-length albums and several EPs, they provided the soundtrack to existential themes concerning man, nature, loss, metaphysics, and death.
Following their disbandment in 2016, Agalloch will return to the stage for very selective shows. The band earned a reputation for explosive and emotional live performances and would take special care constructing the environment of each show with wood, incense, and imagery taken directly from their home in the Pacific Northwest. Such care makes an Agalloch show more than just a typical heavy metal concert.

More about Agalloch
"Teach me your mood, O patient stars. Who climb each night, the ancient sky. Leaving on space no shade, no scars, no trace of age. No fear to die." - R. W. Emerson
Following up their acclaimed Marrow Of The Spirit album from 2010, The Serpent & The Sphere sees Agalloch take their progressive musical oeuvre to a challenging new level while maintaining the classic Agalloch sound. It captures some of the band's most forward-thinking and intriguing compositions yet, while at the same time some of the darkest, most meticulously crafted, and most atmospherically potent work of the band's career.
