Sure, some of the album falls flat ( Demons of an Intricate Design, for instance, is forgettable, bland tech-death), but on the whole Proponent for Sentience is a step up for this über-talented act – and could see them reach a wider audience. The drama in the music is mirrored by the lyrics as humanity’s existence on earth is concluded with its obliteration and being described as a mere carbon plague. The album implements the style by managing to sound both massive and light on its feet, like a runaway locomotive with the agility of a sports car. New vocalist Riley McShane has also made a significant impact on the Colorado outfit: his wider range and dextrous delivery gives Allegaeon’s music greater depth, and he imbues the band with a character that was perhaps missing on previous efforts. Proponent for Sentience contains a fat slab of melodic death metal of the Gothenburgian school, with the most obvious influence Dark Tranquillity. In September 2016, Allegaeon released Proponent for Sentience. Then you have the astounding Gray Matter Mechanics – Appassonata Ex Machinea, which sees classical guitars meld into a furious, breathtaking cyber assault. Allegaeon /lidn/2 is an American extreme metal band from Fort Collins, Colorado. Terrathaw and the Quake has a stronger chorus, for instance, than anything on Elements… and From Nothing blends vicious riffery with some huge, crowd-pleasing hooks. It’s an album that simultaneously reinforces their prog cred (and we’re not just talking about the lofty sc-fi concept or cover of Rush’s Subdivisions) and demonstrates their ability to write sharper, more focused songs. Allegaeon – Proponent for Sentience (Metal Blade)Īllegaeon’s astounding technical ability has never been doubt, but it was difficult to see where their sound could go after Elements of the Infinite.
