The Mantle

The Mantle is the second album by American metal band Agalloch. The album was released on August 13, 2002 by The End Records. Taking a more mellow tone than Agalloch's first full-length, Pale Folklore, The Mantle still contains heavy electric guitar riffs as well as acoustic guitar portions. Present as well are long and melancholic double bass sequences, such as on the track "I Am the Wooden Doors".
