Ghosts Of The Midwinter Fires 6. To Drown Marrow of the Spirit, Agalloch's fourth album. Darker, colder and more aggressive than anything they have done in the past, but no less critically acclaimed than their other full-lengths. Eirian Although it has its moments and is rarely boring, Marrow of the Spirit is far from Agalloch's best work. It's a rough album, in terms of both songwriting and sound quality, and ultimately forgettable. 35 Favorite track: Black Lake Niðstång. el merko.

Marrow of the Spirit, Agalloch's fourth album, is the band's defining statement and the first Metal release of the new decade that can truly be considered a masterpiece. Darker, colder and more aggressive than anything they have done in the past, it is their most accomplished work to date. Quite simply, Marrow of the Spirit is Agalloch at the height of their powers. Go Unlimited. Try now. Marrow of the Spirit drops the quality drastically to give the album a much darker and foreboding tone.
