My boyfriend and i were on a early morning drive in july to go fishing. It was 2 am and we were in the middle of the woods. We drove down the valley, listening to this album, into the clearing. Its pitch black and in our headlights i see something crossing slowly into the road. It was a huge female elk. She was giant. Like a male without a rack, thick, but not pregnant. She slowly moved across the road and stared at us as we drove by. Me and her made eye contact. She was unafraid. She was alone. I believe we saw a spirit of the woods. She was ethereal. During this album too coincidental, in the washington state woods.

I posted this a while back on another video of The Mantle that got deleted, but I figured I'd re-post it here since you guys might enjoy this little anecdote about Don Anderson Don Anderson was actually one of my professors at college during the first two semesters that I attended. He's not there anymore sadly ( this was circa 2016, he's since moved back out west ) but I love that guy, really cool dude. I haven't met a single student who didn't like him. He introduced me to post-structuralist theory and let me read a few of his books. I also took a film course with him too; he's got great taste. Loves obscure cinema, probably fitting I guess lol, I hope I run into him again one day, genuinely one of the coolest guys I've ever met. I miss him. Don, if you ever see this, I love you man, and so do all the students you've impacted. Also, thanks for letting that second essay slide lmao

I'm a little dismayed with myself. I've been a fairly hardcore metal fan since the late 80's. REALLY got into it in the mid to late 90's (otherwise known as "Beyond Metallica and Pantera"). Black Metal came into my life via Emperor in 98-99 and it's been a passion ever since. At the very least a fascination. How in the HELL (pun intended) is it that until yesterday, I knew jack about Agalloch? This is Ulver, Opeth and Therion rolled into one. It's brilliant and then some. Thankfully we have KZread and the internet to figure out what we missed. Also, I'd like to add....nothing thrills me more than discovering new bands like this. I miss the old days of flicking my way through vinyl at the record shop in the basement nobody would dare go in to (Root Celler in St. Paul if you are a MinneSOOOtan and remember the place). Anyway. Thanks for finally exposing me to this brilliance.

I remember listening to this album when I was younger and feeling unspeakable sadness. About what? I can't even remember. A visage of me probably laying in bed, with a thick vapour of cannabis smoke filling the room, in the early hours of the morning. This album on repeat. But I can't remember what the sadness was. I was thinking, always thinking, with tears. I didn't do much as a teenager. Suddenly, if does seem like I've grown since then. If nothing else, I can say that I listened to some timeless music those handful of years ago. This is truly a dark masterpiece, swathed in beautiful melancholy, an absolutely unforgettable journey into the snow covered forests of some Scandinavian country. So beautiful, so sad. I wish I could remember what it was that I was feeling those years ago and bring into the focus of my mind the scope of those old, gone days.

"of some Scandinavian country" Agalloch was an American band, and unless I'm much mistaken, this album (and most of their music) was an exploration of North American(/Native American) folk themes, though obviously taking influence from Scandinavian metal bands who explored their own traditions in a similar way. Just saying, this is probably more inspired by the cold, forested regions of northern U.S. or Canada as opposed to like, Norway. Beautiful post, though.

Such subtle beauty, hidden away from everyday eyes that unfold unto me. It may not change much, but I've always found a divine grace in the mundanity of moments like this. Every little flake has as purpose, a destination to arrive to. It makes me wonder what or where my ultimate termination is. Such grand ideas that our little human minds cannot possibly know. And yet I strive everyday to achieve it. Awwh... see? I wish I could be this poetic in front of strangers or the coffee shop attendants I visit every day at work.

One of the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever had the pleasure to listen to. These guys and Woods Of Ypres are out of this world!

Havent heard this masterpiece in a while. I dont know why? Greets from Finland.

Agalloch, Empyrium... Two bands, two different worlds but the same inspiration: nature. Difficult to find today some bands as good as them!

Give Vvilderness' album Devour the Sun a listen if you've never heard it. Somewhat in the same vein as this musically, and certainly very nature-oriented.

If you're still looking, Elderwind's first album "Magic of Nature" is excellent atmospheric black metal. It's a very magical album with lots of chimes and bells, I'd highly recommend it.

Why is it that after "In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion " theres just more sadness left? wasnt that sad enough? god i love this album

Coverkillernation brought me here, hope you come back making videos man, you're one of a kind

Same here.

I'm listening to this for the first time... and this is exactly what i was looking for to get me through tough days at work.

I've been listening to these guys since this album.... before they ever really blew up... Will always love the mantle. it is such comfort in desperate times.

must have been hard when they separated

The layering of the guitars is a masterpiece. The lyrics are poetry. The arrangement is flawless. This album is brilliant.

The mantel is a true masterpiece found it two years ago beautiful beyond words and rock hard

I'm not even into metal (the folk elements drew me into this) but this is such a brilliant album!

Coming back to this record really makes you appreciate it even more, absolute masterpiece and hugely influential. I've lost track of how many bands I've heard that tried to emulate this sound.

This whole album is just amazing. I remember driving in the fog at night at 2am having this track playing and was such a blissful experience

this will always be in my top ten all time favorite album list

This makes me incredibly happy!

This music is honest and true. Absolutely marvelous album. Thanks again for the great upload :))

This is timeless. I can’t believe I actually bought this on vinyl in 2005
