Allegaeon launches « All Hail Science » performance video online
On September 23rd, melodic death metal outfit Allegaeon will be releasing their fourth full-length, Proponent for Sentience, via Metal Blade Records. Today, the band has launched a performance video for the new album track, « All Hail Science », which was shot at Black Sky Brewery in Denver, Colorado during the recording of Proponent for Sentience earlier this year. To watch the video, please visit:
Allegaeon‘s Greg Burgess (guitar) comments: « We had the great pleasure of being allowed to shoot ‘All Hail Science’ at Black Sky Brewery here in Denver. We have a great selection of metal bars here and Black Sky is by far my favorite. It has such a friendly atmosphere and the staff and owners are so supportive of our local scene. Basically Black Sky let us throw a free show/party for anyone who wanted to show up. It’s pretty apparent from the video, but we had a blast that day. Huge thanks to Black Sky for their hospitality, SSS Productions for running sound and lights, Vince Edwards from Metal Blade for filming us being dumb, and the fans who showed up to party! »
For another preview of Proponent for Sentience, Allegaeon‘s cover version of the Rush classic « Subdivisions » can be seen here: http://metalblade.com/allegaeon – where the previously released track « Proponent For Sentience III – The Extermination » [featuring guest appearances by Soilwork’s Bjorn « Speed » Strid (vocals) and Scar Symmetry/ex-Bloodshot Dawn’s Benjamin Ellis (guitar)] is also streaming.

Produced by Dave Otero (Cattle Decapitation), Proponent for Sentience is a musically complex, intelligent, and absorbing concept record that can rightfully sit alongside the true greats of the medium. With a lyrical arc rooted in science-fiction yet uncomfortably encroaching upon the reality of the present, it captures the Fort Collins, Colorado natives at their most ambitious and accomplished, pushing the boundaries even further than on their three previous critically acclaimed full-lengths. See below for the official track-listing!
