New Shit

AGALLOCH HAVE A NEW DVD?? NICE OF THEM TO LET US KNOW.

agalloch - the silence of forgotten landscapesSo, uh… apparently Portland, OR epic doomsters Agalloch — perennial MetalSucks favorites — have a new DVD out called The Silence of Forgotten Landscapes. The band’s official website makes no mention of it, nor does the band’s MySpace page (save an inclusion on the discography). No other metal sites seem to be reporting on it, and a Google search of “Agalloch The Silence of Forgotten Landscapes” turns up a bunch of torrent sites and, finally, a buy page on The Omega Order. Save the wise tip of MS reader Daniel Guzman, I never would’ve known about this release, Agalloch’s first into the visual realm.

Leave it up to the members of Agalloch’s Fan Page to actually provide some real info about this release:

First-ever DVD from the mighty Agalloch. The main feature of this DVD is a show recorded on March 29, 2008 in Belgium — eight tracks culled from the band’s three albums to date, totaling over 70 minutes. Features another 50 minutes of extra material, which includes about 10 minutes of original music written and performed by John Haughm. [By request of the band, $2.50 of each DVD sale will be donated to a nature preservation society that protects parts of northern Belgium and southern Holland.]

Well, what gives, dudes? There are lots of folks I know who would be interested in this release if only they knew about it. Way to completely drop the ball. The DVD’s been out for a week now and I haven’t seen a single press release or article. Maybe the DVD really sucks and they’re ashamed of it? Who knows. If any readers have the DVD, please tell us how it is in the comments.

Since neither the band or record label seem to care enough to share this information with you, we have the tracklisting and a list of bonus features after the jump, taken from the fan page.

Details:
1. Limbs
2. Falling Snow
3. As Embers Dress the Sky
4. Dead Winter Days
5. I Am The Wooden Doors
6. In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion
7. Not Unline the Waves
8. Bloodbirds

Bonus Features:
A 30 minute interview detailing 12 years of the band

    Hum. Wikipedia has a little bit on it (listed under Agalloch’s discography list), but that’s it.

  • Soontohavesyphilis

    This is why Iove Agalloch. They really do not give too shits about sales. Not even enough to promote themselves.

  • Soontohavesyphilis

    two* sorry

  • Riek

    Pale Folklore is one of my favorite albums of all time. I’ll definitely be checking this out.

  • Stiggs

    I wish I had money.

    I heard the recording fro the concert and they sound great, much better than most bootlegs I’ve heard before. However there’s some people saying that Josh was very sick at that show and he wanted to end it as soon as possible.

      *from, ** there are… sorry grammar nazis out there.

  • SourDeez

    Dude, they’re Agalloch. I’m not at all surprised. I wouldn’t be surprised if the only way to get this album is by sitting in the woods until a deer brings it to you.

    • SourDeez

      I meant DVD. Durrrr.

    • The Ghost of D. Boon

      Hilarious!

    • Morbidblast

      *Died laughing* XD

  • Kye

    Now if only they’d get a damn label(maybe they have by now?) and release their new album.

  • The Ghost of D. Boon

    I’m sure this makes me totally un-troo and un-kvlt (like I care…) but it the amount of stuff from “Ashes Against The Grain” on this DVD makes me a happy boy indeed, because that album is well good.

    • Mark

      I hear ya! “Falling Snow” is one of my favourite songs of all-time. Definitely gonna pick this up…

    “By request of the band, $2.50 of each DVD sale will be donated to a nature preservation society that protects parts of northern Belgium and southern Holland.”

    I hope the band cares somewhat about sales if they’re donating part of the proceeds, but I’ll definitely be picking this DVD up anyway!

      D’oh! Of course that’s already listed in the story though!
