Agalloch are now in a phase in which each of their works becomes a masterly one. Only occasional riff broadsides or decent growls testify to their metallic roots, but you can confidently ignore them, especially as "The Serpent & The Sphere" focuses on profound atmospheres. In their epic and depth effect central pieces are the versatile opener "Birth And Death Of The Pillars Of Creation" and the powerful instrumental "Plateau Of The Ages", with which the band once again underlines their current size.
