Vendlus Records in 2004), showcased an even more experimental side of Agalloch, featuring remixed and reworked versions of songs from The Mantle as well as a new post-rock-influenced title track on the B-side of Tomorrow Will Never Come. Agalloch performed a series of shows on the North American East Coast in 2004. A nature-themed split 10" picture disc single with the Finnish band Nest was also released in 2004, showcasing a collaborative, neofolk effort by Agalloch on the A-side. The Nest track, a more electronic, percussion-heavy effort, included vocal and guitar contributions by Haughm and Anderson. Double vinyl reissues of The Mantle and Pale Folklore were released in 2005 in limited wooden boxes, complete with new artwork for both albums, to commemorate the band's single live performance of 2005 at the Day of the Equinox music festival held in Toronto on October 14, 2005. Ashes Against the Grain and The White (2006–2008) Ashes Against the Grain, the band's third full-length album, was released on August 8, 2006 by The End Records, featuring less focus on The Mantle'''s prominent acoustic guitars and more emphasis on electric guitars and metal elements, giving the album a different sound than their previous releases. On previous albums, Haughm had played drums, but wished to concentrate more on songwriting and guitar, so Chris Greene (who had joined the band for live shows beginning in 2003) played drums on all Ashes Against the Grain tracks except "Falling Snow" and "Not Unlike the Waves." After a 2006 European tour, Greene exited the band, replaced by Aesop Dekker of Ludicra.Ashes Against the Grain completed the band's contract with The End Records, and in April 2008, Agalloch decided against renewing the contract. On February 29, 2008, Agalloch released The White, the second half (and stylistic opposite) of their two-part EP release for Vendlus. As with The Grey, the album was limited to 2,000 copies. The White collected dark folk/ambient work from 2004–2007, with a sound more akin to the acoustic guitar approach of The Mantle. The tracks "The Isle of Summer", "Sowilo Rune" and "Summerisle Reprise" were based on themes from the 1973 film The Wicker Man, with all three tracks utilizing samples from the film. The track "Birch White" borrowed its lyrics from a song by A.S.J. Tessimond titled "Birch Tree". "Sowilo Rune" was posted on Agalloch's official MySpace page roughly two months before the album was released. The
