Agalloch Marrow Of The Spirit Vinyl

Packagin Triple Gatefold sleeve with silver and interior print, 12-page LP-sized booklet, double vinyl in padded black inner sleeves protecting the records, plus a designed album download card. A work of bleak grandeur, elemental force and restless transformation, Marrow Of The Spirit marked the beginning of a new chapter in the history of AGALLOCH.Following the precise, modern production of Ashes Against The Grain, the band deliberately moved in the opposite direction. Clean became dirty. Digital amp simulations gave way to vintage tube equipment, while concise structures opened into vast, cinematic compositions. The intention was to capture what a black metal album recorded in 1970 might have sounded like.Originally recorded by Steven Wray Lobdell in 2010, the album captured the raw performances the band envisioned, but difficulties during mixing left important details obscured and parts of the arrangements buried.For this 2026 edition, AGALLOCH returned to the original recordings with Markus Stock, whose work had long served as a reference for the depth, atmosphere and organic character they sought. Mixed at Klangschmiede Studio E and newly mastered by Gus Elg, the new version carefully preserves the album's rawness and identity while revealing previously buried details and strengthening its physical and emotional impact.Marrow Of The Spirit returns not as a replacement, but as a revelation: the same untamed, cinematic and deeply esoteric album, now heard with renewed depth and force.
