Agalloch was formed in 1996 in Portland, Oregon - in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. Their music has "bridged the gap between gothic doom, black metal, neofolk, post rock, and industrial / ambient soundscapes."

On Wednesday, April 23, 2008, Agalloch announced that they have decided to part ways with record label The End Records (after their 10-year contract ended). Their immediate plans are to "remain low key, work on new material, and look towards the future."

Line-up:
John Haughm - Vocals, Guitars (plus other instruments)
Don Anderson - Guitars (plus other instruments)
Jason William Walton - Bass
Aesop Dekker - Drums

Former Members:
Shane Breyer - Keyboards
Chris Greene - Drums

Agalloch (also Agallocha, Agallochum) is a soft, resinous wood of highly aromatic smell, burnt by the orientals as a perfume.
