- 2nd release for METAL BLADE RECORDS. One of a kind, modern and intense US technical Death Metal in the vein of the Gothenburg school. Recorded with help from and in the studio of AS I LAY DYING in their LAMBESIS Studios [!] - SPECIAL NEWCOMER PRICE [!] METAL HAMMER "The new face of ruthless MODERN DEATH METAL!"
Formed early in the summer of 2008, Allegaeon have come to the table with a dynamic, memorable and focused take on extreme melodic metal. There are just as many slow grooves and hook-laden riffs as blast beats. This is a band that focuses on song writing and less on making music into an athletic speed competition. Their music is rounded with an intellectual edge that's forged by the band's collective musical prowess and polished by Ezra Haynes' thought provoking lyrics. In January 2012, Allegaeon traveled to Southern California and entered Lambesis Studios with Daniel Castleman (As I Lay Dying, Impending Doom, Carnifex, Winds of Plague) to begin work on Formshifter. The latest album brings forward a sound that both plays off the band's previous releases mixed in with some new flavors that will be sure to enthrall old and new fans alike.
