Ezra's got a unique sound which I did like, even if his range wasn't huge. Riley's cleans were amazing (although rarely used) but I actually didn't love his harsh vocals that much for some reason.

New single with Ezra is pretty good, kinda hyped for the next album

Album Rating: 4.5

new single sounds like Allegaeon of old, which is great but I like this album above all the rest...

Album Rating: 4.5

yea inhumation is badarse

Ezra and even the riffs definitely remind me of their older albums which I don’t mind. at alll.

Album Rating: 3.5

I totally forgot that Riley wasnt in the band anymore, interesting that Ezra is back. Still apprehensive about this band cause I found this album so boring and drab, tried to like and just couldnt it.

Album Rating: 4.5

crazy. This album is so punchy and dynamic. It's probably the easiest one to enjoy imo

Vermin is a great example of this. The intro is playful and showcases various melodies, a nice upbeat bassline, and after a quick solo just starts to rip and the leads into a short and effective chorus. Can't say enough good things about this album

fucking slays

Single is solid, I like the solo

Album Rating: 3.5

@Toondude this felt like the band was just going through the motions and didn't try to push their sound forward in any way, though, Allegaeon has a unique sound that sets them apart from other bands, and that remains consistent on this album, hence the 3.5

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

New single is surprisingly short. Inhumation is better, but I still like it.

Album Rating: 4.5

weird because this album does push their sound a bit, and this is easily their best imo. The two prior are decent but this album is definitely more cohesive as a whole

I think Proponents is still my favorite but I agree it feels like they found a more cohesive sound on this album and really went after it.

Album Rating: 4.5

I'm really excited for the upcoming album. I've loved this band since I first found them in 2011 and they have remained in my top 5 most spun bands since then. Their particularly nerdy brand of melodic/tech death just really does it for me, "brick walled" production and all. I was really bummed when Riley left after LOVING Damnum but Ezra's return feels like a return to more brutality if the singles are any indication. That fires me up.

Definitely cool that they got Ezra back but lol they kinda got more popular/signed to a major label after he left in the first place. So I wonder if he had regrets about leaving when he did

Did it ever come out exactly why Riley ended up leaving? From their Facebook, I won't lie, it seemed like the band was throwing a bit of shade his way

"it seemed like the band was throwing a bit of shade his way"



I never felt that at all tbh



he never gave a reason why he left though

There wasn't any shade in the "official" announcements but in the Facebook comments I remember I did see someone from the band comment and I definitely remember thinking it didn't sound like a completely friendly parting of ways.

I can't remember exactly what the comment said but it implied there were major creative differences.

Riley probably just wanted to sing a lot more lol
