Allegaeon announce new album details and release music video for "Driftwood"
Melodic technical death metal band Allegaeon have announced their new album The Ossuary Lens will be released on April 4th via Metal Blade Records. To celebrate the announcement, the Colorado quintet have also released a new music video for "Driftwood."
Guitarist Greg Burgess says of the new track "Driftwood:"
"This song holds a special place in ALLEGAEON history, honestly. This piece was written for "Apoptosis" by our then-brand new bassist Booboo. In its original form, it was so tech death, I don't think we knew how to incorporate it into the ALLEGAEON sound when he submitted it. Fast forward six years and, as we were kicking around ideas for this album, I remembered the piece, and asked Booboo if he wouldn't mind if I took a crack at possibly rearranging its format a little smoother into the ALLEGAEON sound. I just wanted there to be a little bit more repetition of some parts. The song turned out amazing. Always goes to show – never throw out anything as you never know when it'll come back."
