Apparently per FB, Agalloch has disbanded. Bummer.

Man, dude can't even break up his band without calling himself a "visionary." Pretentious AF.

After being inundated by a barrage of responses, I feel that I should clarify some things. I take full responsibility for the decision to part ways with the other guys. It was difficult, well thought-out, and something that had been culminating over the past couple of years. I simply could not continue any further with the band as it was. I had to make a change as my motivation and inspiration had started to completely deteriorate. Whether this is the permanent end of Agalloch altogether or a possible fresh start, I don't know. I probably won't know for awhile. The band has simply been reduced back to its founding, visionary member for the first time in 20 years. Beyond that, the future is unknown.

Plus he totally backtracks on breaking up the band. They'll probably have a new album out next year.

I read that as meaning Don Anderson was their "visionary member". Don't know their explicit history, but I know Don, John and Jason have all been in there forever. I first saw them in 2002 or thereabouts.

I kind of got bored with them, but saw them a couple times after the last album Billy produced and they were better than ever. Best to go out on top, I guess.

According to Wickerpedia, John is the founding member of the band. That's pretty damn funny.
