John Haughn of Portland Oregon, USA atmospheric metal warriors has announced the rest of AGALLOCH has split with him and the future of the bands is uncertain.
AGALLOCH unleashed "THE SERPENT AND THE SPHERE", 5/13/2014 (NORTH
AMERICA) unleashed 5/16/2014 (GERMANY) and 5/19/2014 (EUROPE) via
EISENWALD and PROFOUND LORE RECORDS.
FROM AGALLOCH:
After being inundated by a barrage of responses, I feel that I should
clarify some things. I take full responsibility for the decision to
part ways with the other guys. It was difficult, well thought-out, and
something that had been culminating over the past couple of years. I
simply could not continue any further with the band as it was. I had to
make a change as my motivation and inspiration had started to completely
deteriorate. Whether this is the permanent end of Agalloch altogether
or a possible fresh start, I don't know. I probably won't know for
awhile. The band has simply been reduced back to its founding, visionary
member for the first time in 20 years. Beyond that, the future is
unknown.
- J. Haughm
Following 20 years, 5 full length albums, many tours around the world,
and numerous other recordings, John Haughm and the rest of the band (Don
Anderson, Jason Walton, and Aesop Dekker) have parted ways. What the
future holds for the separate parties remains undetermined. We
collectively thank all of our fans across the world. There are also way
too many other people to thank who made this band possible. You know
who you are.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
