Pochissimo tempo dopo la pubblicazione di “Celestial Effigy” in streaming (qui), gli Agalloch annunciano tracklist e maggiori dettagli sul nuovo album The Serpent & The Sphere:
“The Serpent & The Sphere” sees AGALLOCH take their progressive musical oeuvre to another level, all while maintaining the classic AGALLOCH sound. It is an album that reveals the band’s darkest, most meticulously crafted, and atmospherically surging work of their seventeen-year career. Captured by legendary producer/engineer Billy Anderson at Cloud City Studios in Portland, Oregon (and mixed by Anderson likewise at Everything Hz), “The Serpent & The Sphere” represents the most glorious sounding AGALLOCH album to date. Making a guest appearance is guitarist Nathanaël Larochette of Canadian neo-folk band Musk Ox who wrote and provided the album’s acoustic interludes.

1. Birth and Death of the Pillars of Creation
2. (serpens caput)
3. The Astral Dialogue

6. Cor Serpentis (the sphere)
7. Vales Beyond Dimension
