Portland, Oregon, USA (1995 – present)

Disenchanted and frustrated with the confines of their previous projects, Agalloch began in 1995 as the creation of John Haughm and Shane Breyer. In early 1996 in Portland, Oregon, USA, songs began to be produced by the duo and, during the summer, Don Anderson was added to the band to further refine the material. These songs would later become the “From Which of This Oak” demo tape in the autumn of that year. This recording showed a large amount of influence, with an amount of material which would later appear on subsequent albums in one form or another. Shortly after the recording, Jason William Walton was added to the line up as bassist.

In 1998, the three recorded a new promotional tape solely for labels. It caught the attention of The End Records, who offered them a record contract, resulting in the “Pale Folklore” album. The album features less of a influence than before, many totally reworked demo songs, more elements and interludes. The album was met with much critical acclaim. After the recording was complete, Breyer departed from the band line up.

After a quiet period, the band released an EP of unreleased material from 1998-2001 entitled “Of Stone, Wind, and Pillor”, revealing even more of a and element of the band and generally less distorted vocals. The EP also includes a cover of band Sol Invictus’ “Kneel to the Cross”, that would later be released on Sol Lucet Omnibus, French label Cynerfierrd’s tribute compilation to Sol Invictus.
