I like this. It's not straight out metal but has obvious metal parts and influences.

I've filed it for now under our catch-all that's metal-related rock, which is where we group heavy music that doesn't clearly fall into one of the main subs.

Feel free to challenge. And many thanks for the recommendation.

I hadn't realised we had a Metal Related subgenre (makes sense though, since ProgArchives has Prog Related). That's definitely more appropriate for this band.

Glad you liked it! This is basically an Agalloch side-project, which makes it all the more perplexing to me that it has received such little attention. But it's very different musically, and not as "accessible", I guess. Personally this sort of dark, atmospheric "black ambient" stuff is right up my alley.
