AGALLOCH: 'The Demonstration Archive 1996-1998' Vinyl Box Set Available

May 7, 2012

Eisenwald presents a very special, limited release from AGALLOCH in the form of "The Demonstration Archive 1996-1998" vinyl box set. A collection of material from the band's early years, the archive includes all material from 1997's "From Which Of This Oak" demo , the original "Of Stone, Wind, and Pillor" EP — presented in its primeval form, as originally intended on seven-inch format — recorded in 1998, and the rare "Promo 98". All material was taken from the original analogue sources. Aside from some slight mastering to keep the songs at an even volume, nothing was edited or polished. Limited to 500 numbered deluxe sets, "The Demonstration Archive 1996-1998" is an official and fully band-sanctioned release, put together with a great deal of care, devotion and respect, in order to present this collectors' edition in a classy, aesthetically pleasing way.
