Yes, this is the ALLEGAEON I like, bringing back some of the finest DM melodies from the "Damnum" era, yet not too proggy, not too exploratory, but rather lean and mean, just as we (yes, the "royal" we :) like them.
It shreds tons, it delights with tech virtuoso solos, but it doesn't over state its welcome. Just perfect!
Favorite track: Carried by Delusion.

After have giving the album a proper listen and all my attention it deserves, i may share that these gentlemen's kraftmanship has raised my dopamine levels to dangerous heights.
So diverse, virtuosic, and harmonious.

Another solid offering to the metal gods. I always find Allegaeon fun, and this album has a bit more complexity bringing in nice classical bits and sharp hooks. I find the vocals on this feel kinda late 2000s metal to me, which is fine, but feels a touch old fashion for reasons I can't explain! The driving beat at the end of Dark Matter is exquisite and seals the deal for me.
Favorite track: Dark Matter Dynamics (feat. Adrian Bellue).

Chaos Theory

Instability, course of action
Roll of the dice, haunted by a fraction
Gone! A chaotic change
And the sun delivers the strain
Probability, gaining traction
Dawn of the die, iota action
Gone! a neurotic range
And the gun delivers the stray
The slightest change of origin
Betrayal of the eyes
Abysmal dissolution
Chaos restored in life
Abnormality, deterministic
Initial condition, simulated shifted one
Uncontrolled a familiar trade
And the sun will eat us then return to the grave
Volatility, aperiodic
Dawn of the die, 6 up chaotic
Gone! A phantom change
And the force that made us created a plague
The slightest change of origin
Betrayal of the eyes
Abysmal dissolution
Chaos restored in life
The slightest change of motion
Betrayal of the tides
Abysmal shift conclusion
Chaos restored in life
Solo: Burgess
Can we foresee
The laws of chaos?
To predict this running paradox
To the gods we’re against the clock
Can we be one?
Solo: Stancel
Solo: Burgess
Strange attractors
Fractals forming for disaster
The air we breathe today is
Harrowing and borrowed
Change is certain
Death is certain
The slightest change of origin
Betrayal of the eyes
Abysmal disillusion
Chaos restored in life
The slightest change of motion
Betrayal of the tides
Abysmal shift conclusion
Chaos restored in life
The slightest change
of the eyes
Change is certain
Death is certain
Change in motion
of the tides
Death is certain
Death is certain

Blindsided, in a shell of silence, alone
Decided, motive breach the eyelids, then sewn
Reminded, death walks beside us, inside us
In hindsight it was the path of a nihilist and pawn
When the tide swallows the trees
The gallows of your past will haunt you
White lines and broken teeth
The shadows of your past will take you
Divided, the scarlet moon feeding
Blood forced fed, drowning in loathe, grieving
Rivers run rapid with wine and lust, again we see the dawn
Igniting bridges that fall to dust (you’re gone)
When the tide swallows the trees
The gallows of your past will haunt you
White lines and broken teeth
The shadows of your past (will take you)
When the tide swallows the trees
The gallows of your past will haunt you
Would you lend me your soul, your soul to feast? And I…
will never know, we’ll never know
Bones and driftwood, hearts, decay
Alone in the bloodscape, betrayed, afraid
Cycles of agony, wretched, decline
Tear at the rotting flesh, carcass of mine
Chest wide open
Tunnel vision
Rats to ashes
Soul perdition
When the tide swallows the trees
The gallows of your past will haunt you
White lines and broken teeth
The Shadows of your past will take you
When the tide swallows the trees
The gallows of your past will haunt you
Would you lend me your soul, your soul to feast? And I…
will never know, we’ll never know

Dies Irae

Solo: Burgess
Fear is in the soil
Cut thy tongue
All creation in turmoil
It’s my day, my dying sons
Oh, Here comes the ash
I am unholy
Burn the rats
Burn the rats
Bound by withered pages
Omniscient tome
No one to go unpunished
Crosses and bones
Crosses and bones for those who undermine
I am unholy
Burn the swine
Dies Irae - Thy corpse a lesson on display
Dies Irae - Thy judgment shall not sway
Summoning souls to my throne
Blood stains cover the stone
I will spare none
Last judgments, call of the trumpets
Souls plummet to the underworld
Solo: Stancel
Surrender
to the flames
Earth gone to ashes
Damnation
Forever reign
Burn the masses
Burn the masses
Solo: Burgess
Dies Irae - Thy corpse a lesson on display
Dies Irae - Thy judgment shall not sway
Summoning souls to my throne
Blood stains cover the stone
I will spare none
Dies Irae
Dies Irae
Summoning souls to my throne
Blood stains cover the stone
I will spare none

Tangled in a clusterfuck, just my luck
and the whole world's watching
Body stuck psyche synapse in flux
and the whole world's mocking me
A resident of perdition
My own maelstrom of indecision
What pleasure do I seek?
Trepidation to defeat
More, give me falling skies
To take their eyes
More, give me one more reason
To take their lives
Swarm
Mangled focus no luck no trust
Buried in dread, malice, and lust
The fire within, the haunting begins
Inside the shadow that’s been
Vile disdain and godless darkness
The abyss of hopelessness
Chasing the wicked, addicted
To desolation
In the dead of the night
Fear is calling light these eyes will see not
Forever falling death is daunting fear not
Eyes wide open in the dead of the night
More, give me falling skies
To take their eyes
More, give me one more reason
To take their lives
Restless regal cells accelerate
Neurotic pathways spells they animate
More…
The swarm, The frenzy, The wise disguise
All I want is silence in the dead of the night

Eyes of blood and wine
A touch of reality, forging both sides
Eating snakes alive
I stand in a shallow grave haunted with why
A cradle of decay, mankind soiled and weak
I pay no mind to these burdens I defeat
A mouthful of blood and broken teeth
The fire that breathes life into me
My ghost carries the sword
Executioner I, I overlord
Within my war
Eyes of blood and pride
The whispers that follow me won’t comprise
Eating gold serpents alive
I stand in a shallow grave immortalized
My ghost carries the sword
Executioner I…
Their flesh and their bones, I want all of it
The righteous to fall as my visions stand tall
What you see as hopeless boundary
bedlam in stride, am I out of it?
A glutton for illusions
The righteous to fall as my visions stand tall
As I’m carried by delusion into dark
Animate
Walls of stone
Captivate
This flesh and bone
Resonate
Mortal tones
Navigating
The unknown
Solo: Burgess
Solo: Stancel
Their flesh and their bones, I want all of it
The righteous will fall as my visions stand tall
What you see as hopeless boundary
Bedlam in stride, am I out of it?
A glutton for illusions
The righteous will fall as my visions stand tall
As I’m carried by delusion
Into the unknown

Imperial

Within these walls we’re taught their ways
Within this construct lies the terror
Seconds pass they feel like days
Noble mysteries instigate the bloodthirsty
To what degree is our fate sealed?
To what end do we allow?
Holy lives and holy days
A masterpiece of horror
A hope to see the canvas fray
This fucking life will last forever
Oh, centuries of loathe
Imperial titans grow
Fractured, uncovered
If only the gods would have known
Under, chained under the sun
Bury what we know to eliminate control
The engineer begins the purge
The slaughter line emerges so
In hell, fathom the wasted sight,
Inside of the vault
They chew on the salt
Of man they plan to re-write
Oh, centuries of loathe
Imperial titans grow
Fractured, uncovered
If only the gods would have known
Under, chained under the sun
Bury what we know, to evolve your own
To evolve your own
Solo: Stancel
Beware of the voices of tomorrow
Damned from our birth, misery to follow
Solo: Burgess
Fractured, uncovered
If only the gods would have known
Under, chained under the sun
Bury what we know, to evolve your own
Fractured, uncovered
If only the gods would have known
Under, chained under the sun

The light flickers
Disdain that triggers the fight
The night quivers
Tunneled vision, no light
Wake circling above
Now
It’s all right when bound
Soiled
Last drop, the sea I drown
Wakes circling above
All I’d need again
Collapsed
Letting go
A fog without end
Pale and buried hands
Writhing Here Forever
Vultures to see my end
The light flickers
Drained and bitter
Scorched lungs, this marrow of blight
Cold shivers
Running red rivers
To escape this flood, to escape this fight
To escape this night
Now
It’s all right when bound
Soiled
Last drop, the sea I drown
Wakes circling above
All I’d need again
Collapsed
Letting go
A fog without end
Pale and buried hands
Writhing Here Forever
Vultures to see my end
Bastard of reality
Challenging mortality
Reaching for gravity
Begging for tragedy
I’ve gave my time
Black silk shame
The void, my mind
I’m on my way out
I’ll never find myself again
I’ll never find myself again
Solo: Burgess
Solo: Stancel
All I’d need again
Collapsed
Letting go
A fog without an end
To be me again
Writhing
Here Forever
Vultures to see my end
All I’d need again
Collapsed
Letting go
A fog without an end
Pale and buried hands
Writhing
Here Forever
Vultures to see my end

I hold on
To anything certain
Know it all dissolves
In waters of our extinction
How long? for it all to fade away
When all’s gone, when it overcomes
WILL IT TAKE ANOTHER NAME?
Cold, stronger than any entity,
Cold, some would call it divine
It has full control of your memory
It has full control of your mind
It’s looming in the sky, I don’t know why
Holding the blade of ambition
If I bleed out all is forgiven
Oh, death’s standing by my side, my hands are tied
So, holding back is forbidden
End my time by my own volition
Cold, I wrote off the enemy, my own is dead to me
So cold, murdered in my own reverie, by me
It’s looming in the sky, I don’t know why
Holding the blade of ambition
If I bleed out all is forgiven
Oh, death’s standing by my side, my hands are tied
So, holding back is forbidden
End my time by my own volition
Whisper to me
Hell has opened
Whispers and screams
There’s only so much air to breathe
A shadow at best, a shadow of need
I will eat you with your own gold teeth
Give me your breath, Give me your greed
I will eat you with your own gold teeth
Hell has opened
Solo: Stancel
Waves of reason
I am waiting
To banish the gods
I’ve created, aberrated
Waves of reason
I am waiting
To bury them
Hell has opened
Fear died long ago
To the inferno
These remains my own to bury
The rest will follow
Bury me
Bury me
Sycophantic satellites
Systematic parasites
Pathetic
Concede and stay beneath
I will eat you with your own gold teeth
Baring a scythe and diamond spine
Salt of the damned, scabbed be thy mind
Death to a brazen paradigm

Allegaeon Denver, Colorado
For technical death metal band Allegaeon, sitting still is not an option. The Fort Collins, CO group has never allowed itself to stagnate, prefering to thrive on chaos, change and evolution. Their latest full-length offering, 'The Ossuary Lens', is their 7th but, importantly, it's the first with original vocalist Ezra Haynes since his 2015 departure following the 'Elements of the Infinite' album. ... more
