Portland (and the world’s?) best metal band, Agalloch, has recorded a new album, “Marrow of the Soul,” due out Nov. 23 on Profound Lore. For those of us in the know, Agalloch never performs live, but now that they’re about to release their first full length album since 2006’s “Ashes Against the Grain,” this can only mean the next elusive Agalloch show is on the horizon.

But what good is an Agalloch show without good new music? will “Marrow of the Soul” stack up to “Ashes Against the Grain?” has Agalloch’s switch from The End Records to Profound Lore impacted their style? Be sure to check out www.psuvanguard.com Tuesday night for the lowdown!
