Listen "Ep 605 John Haughm of Agalloch talks bands future with new music & touring plus new Solo news ! "
Episode Synopsis
John Haughm remains a big creative part of Agalloch, but in recent years he has also carved a singular path as a solo artist. His solo work explores ambient, experimental, folk, and spectral textures — often using minimalist instrumentation, field recordings, and layered atmospherics. You can find his releases, old and new, on his Bandcamp page: haughm.bandcamp.com At the same time, the Agalloch catalog has seen renewed life through reissues, remasters, and archival releases. EPs like The White and The Grey have been reissued to reach broader audiences, and classic albums have been re-pressed or remastered for new formats. (For example, Of Stone, Wind, & Pillor (Remastered) was reissued with expanded artwork via Eisenwald)  The band maintains a presence on Agalloch’s Bandcamp as well: agalloch.bandcamp.com Haughm and Agalloch also maintain active social media profiles to engage with fans. Agalloch’s official Facebook page (Agalloch – The Official Page) shares news, show announcements, and merch links. Their Instagram (@agalloch_official) similarly posts updates, visuals, and tour promos. John Haughm also posts on his Facebook about solo releases and special edition bundles (e.g. CD + shirt offerings) linking back to his Bandcamp. On the touring front, Haughm has continued to perform solo — offering intimate sets that reinterpret Agalloch material or present new compositions in a stripped setting. When Agalloch reunited (with original members plus a new drummer) in 2023, they began playing selected shows and full-album performances, weaving Haughm’s solo interludes into the larger live experience. For those interested in exploring Agalloch’s releases, much of their catalog is released through Dämmerung Arts and Eisenwald (among other labels). For example, The Serpent & The Sphere was issued via Dämmerung Arts / Eisenwald / Profound Lore depending on format and region. These labels help facilitate the reissues and physical editions that bring both Agalloch’s legacy and Haughm’s solo work to fans worldwide.
