As for why they chose to revisit it now, the band were never quite happy with the original mix of the effort, with a press release stating :
‘…While the original recording captured the performances and energy the band had envisioned, the mixing process was fraught with difficulties. Agalloch had wanted a vintage, organic sound with warmth, depth and analog character, but important details became obscured and parts of the arrangements were lost within the finished mix. Attempts were made to recover some of those elements during mastering, but the band never felt that the final result fully represented the album as they had intended it.’
Also out is a live performance of it which the band performed at Le Poisson Rouge in New York City back in 2011, as well as the album’s tour edition bonus track, “The Weight Of Darkness“, a remix of the opening cut, “They Escape The Weight Of Darkness“. You can find pre-orders via Bandcamp and eisenton.de.
