On Friday, we mourned the sudden loss of Agalloch, a band that has brought folky, ambient black metal to the masses for a little over 20 years. The break up was sudden, and that seemed to be that.
Then later that night, a second statement came, but this time from founding member John Haughm, who says that the group is not necessarily broken up, but instead devoid of other members outside Haughm and may continue on as a one-man project. He also makes it clear that there is no timetable for the reactivation of Agalloch either, so we'll see.
