ALLEGAEON have announced a new album!
Titled The Ossuary Lens, the upcoming album from the American technical death metal band is the follow-up to 2022’s Damnum, and is scheduled to be released in date this year, via Metal Blade Records.
The upcoming album was recorded with producer Dave Otero at Flatline Audio studio in Denver. It marks the sixth album recorded with Otero. “He’s our guy and we couldn’t imagine working with anyone else at the moment,” says vocalist Ezra Haynes. “We have worked with Dave Otero at Flatline Audio since the beginning of our career,” adds guitarist Greg Burgess. “So seventeen years now. Dave always provides a comfortable working environment, amazing ideas, and a career-spanning understanding of what has made ALLEGAEON, ALLEGAEON.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted the upcoming album; Driftwood.
Speaking about the new song, Burgess says, “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.”
