20th Anniversary release of Agalloch`s classic recording, now remastered and equipped with extended artwork in a nice package.<\/p>\n
“The song \u0093Of Stone, Wind, and Pillor\u0094 is significant for a couple of reasons. First, it\u0092s one of our oldest songs having been written by John after the From Which of this Oak demo and was the oldest song in our live set. Second, it was the first time we became a \u0093band.\u0094 John played everything on the demo while I only provided guitar solos. But this song featured me on second guitar and Jason Walton on bass. So, this is the first time in our recorded history that we appear as a \u0093band.\u0094 I place that word in quotes because at this time John was still playing drums.<\/p>\n
The original idea for this EP was a 7inch featuring only the title track, \u0093Foliorum Viridium,\u0094 and \u0093Haunting Birds.\u0094 This plan, however, fell through. And so these songs sat on the shelf for some time while we recorded the Promo 98 demo and finally our debut Pale Folklore.<\/p>\n
After Pale Folklore came out and was well-received our label The End Records wanted to quickly put something else out. They asked if we had any extra material that might make an EP. We had recently recorded a cover of \u0093Kneel to the Cross\u0094 by Sol Invictus for a very limited and obscure Sol Invictus Tribute 2CD called Sol Lucet Omnibus released on Cynfeirrd. We knew the cover would receive limited exposure on the tribute, so decided to include it. Finally, Shane Breyer composed a new piece titled \u0093A Poem by Yeats.\u0094 All of this material combined to make what is now known as the Of Stone, Wind, and Pillor EP.<\/p>\n
Both \u0093Kneel to the Cross\u0094 and the title track made regular appearances in our live set. \u0093Of Stone\u0085\u0094 translated well live and seemed to be a fan favorite. We continued to develop it live. I converted the middle melody into a two-hand tapping melody I felt sat better with the chord changes. Aesop added rhythmic accents throughout. It was a song we enjoyed playing live. Our arrangement of \u0093Kneel to the Cross\u0094 would go on to influence how we arranged much of the acoustic guitars on The Mantle. Revisiting this EP now, I am still proud of it and think it flows well despite having been pieced together.”<\/p>\n
