New Album Title, Release Date and Photo for Agalloch

At least one member of Agalloch positively hates MetalSucks and has gone on record as saying so. While that’s a bummer, my love (and our collective love) for this unfailingly fantastic band lives on unabated. And this week brings great news for Agalloch fans like you and me: earlier this week vocalist John Haughm announced that the band had finished making their next record, and just a couple of hours ago we got a new photo of the band, an album title and a release date in one fell swoop. From Profound Lore’s Facebook page, via Heavy Blog:

AGALLOCH will release their glorious fifth full-length album “The Serpent & The Sphere” on May 13th (North America). Photo credit Veleda Thorsson.

Glorious indeed. Can’t wait. Presumably we’ll get to hear a track from the album in the not-too-distant future.
