Weather Rock

So it's cold/gloomy/rainy here in Southern California and I love it. It's been coming down lightly for the past few days but today it really started pouring nicely. Here's some "rain music" I've been diggin' recently.

This song is kind of long but man, it might just change your life. Post-rock meets black metal meets medieval times in the bleak frozen tundra of the Pacific North West:


This song is more straight forward but rocking none the less. Simplistic yet haunting guitar work and a guttural bellow so deep you'd think this was a band of frost giants. These burly, Tolken inspired Vikings are close enough I suppose:

    I'm not a big Amon Amarth fan even if I enjoy one of their song but Agalloch was quite worth it despite the lenght.

    After seeing your description I went on youtube to check the comments and it's as I thought, people arguing about what kind of music this is, hahahha!
