Agalloch reunited in 2023 as classic members John Haughm, Jason William Walton, and Don Anderson alongside new drummer Hunter Ginn.
Naturally as the band continued to book shows, the question of if Agalloch would follow up their 2012 record The Serpent & The Sphere began to come up. In an interview with Cult Never Dies, Walton said the band has no concrete plans to do new music but he’s also not specifically ruling it out.
“For me, it felt like the band was always there because I continued to do design work on the reissues and merch for Eisenwald,” said Haughm. “There was also always some business that we would need to address, even years after the split, so the entity of the band was always present. Nowadays, it feels like those years of disbandment never even happened.”
Walton added: “Agalloch has been a major component of who I am for many years. Having the band active again just feels natural, it feels right. Our disbandment was unfortunate, but I believe it was necessary for us to become the band that we are today. I, too, feel like the break-up never happened. It is something I never think about anymore. It was a much-needed break for us.
“Even though the circumstances were not ideal, and it all turned into a public ordeal, I am thankful that we were able to stop for a while and grow as musicians and people. As for the future, it is hard to say. I am focused on the present. I have learned to never say never, so we will have to wait and see regarding any new material.”
Speaking of Agalloch, the band recently announced the first-ever standalone vinyl pressing of their The Demonstration Archive: 1996-1998 compilation. You can grab a pre-order of that double LP right here.
