Scott's Metal Track of the Day - ...And the Great Cold Death of the Earth by Agalloch

Today's Metal Track is ...And the Great Cold Death of the Earth by Agalloch. This is off of their 2002 album The Mantle. This is a very chill metal song with a heavy folk metal influence. It's is about the end of the world at the hand of humans. The second verse in the song is an excerpt from the Cherokee folk tale "Earth Making":

"Earth is floating on the waters like an island,
Hanging from four rawhide ropes
Fastened at the top of the sacred four directions
The ropes are tied to the ceiling of the sky
When the ropes break, this world will come
Tumbling down and all living things will fall with it and die"
