@@michaelmango9058 I'll always give an album a first listen online whether it be on RUclips or elsewhere prior to making a decision. More often than not, I'll end up buying the album if I like it. This is the case for this band. Really digging this!!
I really love how clearly we can hear every instrument. Guitars are amazing, bass is INSANE, drums are kicking asses, vocals improved (sick growls and great clean \m/). The band also kept their unique sound and improved it by a lot IMO. These guys deserve an award for this masterpiece, i'm gonna listen the shit out of it for the rest of the year \m/.
I disagree on an instrumental version. I think they really stepped up their vocal game with the emphasis on multiphonics that you can hear plainly at the end of Exothermic Chemical Combustion and the beginning of Tsunami and Submergence (although I don't know who sang that part.) The lyrical themes are one of the best parts of this band with often genuinely unique and profound ideas and very little woo, which while difficult to make out, at least give them the Lovecraftian atmosphere of unknowable secrets buried in alien tongues that forces you to harken to decipher. And the growled vocals might just be out of necessity, whether economically or for the artistic/lyrical freedom it provides. It's well worth trying to go through and understand them, they will eventually grow on you.
@@Gawitrha I sang all the vocals on this album (including the clean bits 😉) I love your take on death metal vocals being like a different language, super cool perspective.
@@riley_mcshane Aha major props to you dude. You have no idea how much your music's been an inspiration to me. May you and those close to you find safe passage when Neuralink, Calico, et al. come forward and may the human Colossus quickly find itself standing tall enough to reach out and within. You guys are a talented group, don't stop making great music!
Oh, snap! You guys are freaking amazing! Support this band, people. The album may be up here for free, but show some love and buy it. They deserve it! Love you guys, Metal on!!
seems pretty normal to me, although for me technical is time signature, key, and tempo changes. So far, I feel that the dillinger escape plan is more technical than this.
Clicked on this never having heard the band before. I'm honestly completely blown away. This is an absolute masterpiece, I really can't stress how good it is. You can be proud to have written this.
Been a fan for like 5 years now. Although all their albums are great, you can literally hear that they are taking a giant step forward with every new record. They never stop fascinating me, which is why I love this band so much.
okay imma admit what made me click a song of theirs was the title interphase//meiosis bc I'm a nerd and a bio student and very glad I did, great stuff!
Now this is how you promote a new album. Release the whole thing as one video experience...Swallow the Sun did this back in January, and of course had fantastic results...I 100 % believe in financially supporting a band, however this method wins over new fans as well.
We put every new album up on RUclips for this reason. Hearing the music is the best promotion. We're not worried about piracy in 2019, just spreading the word!
@@metalbladerecords Works great for me. I love supporting bands that I like, and I find most of my new music through RUclips. If I can get those results straight from the source, that's awesome. The downside, of course, is that I'm putting myself in debt buying all this new music...
@@metalbladerecords it’s interesting that the public opinion has switched from the Ulrich/Napster era opinions, which he is already huge and doesn’t care about exposure. But to smaller bands exposure means more opportunities be that financial or otherwise, and now everyone, literally every metal album almost ever is here on RUclips because people just want to be heard and to listen!
Wow. They make such great use of their extended range guitars. Absolutely incredible musicianship. The amount of effort put into composing an album with this much musical depth is mindblowing. Thank you, Allegaeon. 10/10. Will purchase. Support these guys.
Hard listener of Death Metal and Melo Death, but never got nowhere close to tech Death, no matter what band! Until now! Yesterday bought the album! What a masterpiece!
I've been listening to this at x1.25 speed for about two weeks now and only just realised. I cannot go back. I loved this new 'technical thrash metal' that I though i had found.
This is one of the few albums where you can just listen to and forget 46 minutes just whips by you. This album has a bit of everything from their previous work and much more. Amazing shit!
What an amazing album. Riley has to be one of the best things that happened to this band. Incredible singing and the cleans really give it a whole new texture. Mark my word: Allegaeon is on the verge of becoming the best modern techdeath/melodeath band. And they fucking deserve it!!!!
Has been my favorite bands since 2012. Every album is different and this one gets better with every listen, just like the previous ones. These guys are so criminally underrated it should be illegal. Give them your monies every time you have it to spare.
the performance, execution, and progressions remind me of the first time i heard Maiden's "Somewhere in Time" or Death's "Leprosy" album way back when. Music performed by musicians not bullshitters or poseur scene wannabees.
We still have 75% of the year left to go. That's a lot of time for other bands to put a masterpiece together. Having said that, you're probably right. It definitely needs a nod for Best Production of the Year. Could you imagine producing this? GEEZUS!!!
i really love when technically insane bands don't sacrifice the nasty and tasty riffs and breakdowns while also maintain the feel of melody, nice job allegaeon
These riffs and solos, and rhythms, and interstices of harmonices and multifarious compositional flair, are supercharged with RNA catalytics turning me supermutant.
Now thats brutal!!!!!!!! Thanks guys keep it up!! Dont stop and sell out like whitechapel, you guys are the best guitarists/bass/vocals/drums on this planet!!!
Every instrument played by an extremely talented musician in this album is given the attention they deserve. Uncommon to hear every instrument so crisply in metal. This band is a gem!!
Yeah a lot of people gave it low ratings (reviewers) no idea why. It's the best they've done since, hmm well the last great album. Also good is the new After The Burial...Oblivion (Oblivion album), Deadborn (Dogma Anti-God), Dream Theaters new one of course, Soen (Lotus), among others. This is definitely in my top 5 this year.
Just finish listening and I'm lost for words. The production, the mixing, the composition. To this point I couldn't pick an album over the other but I think this might be there best so far.
Always interesting to see how the themes, are captured in musical format , and." Relate, are presented, or correspond", to the titles of each composition ! .
Absolutely BRILLIANT album. These guys have always been good but I feel like they've really stepped it up this album. This will tide me over until the new Fleshgod album!
This is the best metal band out right now hands down. I Was bummed when I heard they were breaking up so to hear this new album is awesome. Support these guys and buy the album. Somehow they make each album better and unique while maintaining their sound.
Que álbum fantástico. Que produção impecável. Eu adorei a execução, as linhas poderosas e fantásticas da melodias são explosões melódicas de poder e técnica. Um dos melhores álbuns que ouvi em 2019.
Y'all are amazing as ever!! Production is fantastic. The name is what grabbed me and the concept delivered!! These vox are even better (and completely comprehensible while not sacrificing any brutality) than the album before. No Rush covers on this one eh? :) Also, someone has been listening to animals as leaders a bit!
I hadn't check on them for a while, then I saw this album in my recommendations. It's just crazy how they manage to pull a rabbit out of their hat each new album and make it even better than the previous one you tought was unbeatable. Great bass, crazy guitar solos as always, technical as fuck riffs, great vocals.... Nothing to say, that's an 11/10.

This is like an hour long motorcycle backflip
Can somebody please make a video of this?
@@brianpalmer2620 now that image will stay in my thoughts for a long time
Nailed it
I laughed, thank you haha
I've never heard their music described so spot on
Band member: ''How technical do we want the album to be?''
Composer:''Yes''
lol
😂👍
On a scale of 1-10, 1000
Sounds like something i once said where are musicians like this i need to find
@@aliongaboobagus6933 cause fuck me too right? Why not me first
heard this first through a leaked copy, now here it is legit for free on youtube, but I still ordered it. Support these dudes
Props bro to someone who supports and buys music we are a dying breed.
And don't forget to go see them live!
I bought two copies of the CD so I can leave one at my buddies house.

That tap intro actually put my bass up on ebay and sold it for me, didn't even have to lift a finger.
Thanks guys. Now I'm ready to graduate with my science degree.
I actually got a science award so I changed my name.
@@zachward777 So you got the Zach name, huh?
30 seconds in, they've already hit every note on a guitar. I guess they aren't walking back the technicality on this album eh?
@Scott Heslin either one works, you gatekeeping shithead
stepping back on technicality what kind of sorcery is this?
They will get to fretless soon enough.
what does 'walking back the technicality' even mean?
@@BrecMadak reducing it, ie ruin3r is saying that allegaeon is not making this album less technical than their previous works
Oh, snap! You guys are freaking amazing! Support this band, people. The album may be up here for free, but show some love and buy it. They deserve it! Love you guys, Metal on!!
Bought the CD last week. Ordered a shirt today. Worth every penny.
Just bought it today. a bit late as usual.
As a Microbiologist, I approve of this message.
As a molecular biologist, me too.
This is the first time I've heard this band. I'm sold!
Me too man they are nasty
Make you a favor and listen to every song of them. You will not regret.
Brian Forrester oh you have so much to go back and enjoy
So tech.
I had to update my laptop to listen to this.
Why? You only need 1.618 GB of memory for it....
@@ericwilliams8312 I see what you did there
seems pretty normal to me, although for me technical is time signature, key, and tempo changes. So far, I feel that the dillinger escape plan is more technical than this.
@@droptherapy2085 technical difficulty?
Sounds perfect for me with RTX on
I mean, Tech Death and Biology, it can't get any better.
(Melo-prog) Biotechdeath metal I guess
One of the many reasons I fucking love Viraemia
azmanabdula Blotted Science are amazing, however I think their best offering was the slightly less biological EP Animation of Entomology

The drummer Brandon Park is my cousin =)
What an incredible piece of work!!! \m/
Another great album from one of the best metal bands of our days! Respect from Italy!
Allegaeon's maturing over the past couple of years has been super pleasing to watch.
Yesss
Technisch über alle Zweifel erhaben. Wahnsinn was die hier abreißen. Hut ab.
okay imma admit what made me click a song of theirs was the title interphase//meiosis bc I'm a nerd and a bio student and very glad I did, great stuff!

Cant believe its 2024 and im listening to them for the first time. Gotta get me some friends with better taste

Listening on Apple! Love th intro! And damn, interphase... Phenomenal!!! Man, Allegeon is the fkn masters!!!!!
Allegaeon
Hearing a cross between the technical parts of Ne Obliviscaris and BTBAM, really digging it!
Ian Jamieson SO GLAD U KNOW NEO!! BEST BAND EVER
Listening to this for the first time, I thought of BTBAM immediately. Love the vocal overlay in interphase!
'Parthenogenesis' Is brutally beautiful.
pure brilliance. thanks for making this
These guys never disappoint and are criminally underrated! Another master piece by these guys, can't wait to see them live again!

fantastic record
This is the best metal band out right now hands down. I Was bummed when I heard they were breaking up so to hear this new album is awesome.

Somehow they make each album better and unique while maintaining their sound.
