This Friday (September 23rd), melodic death metal outfit ALLEGAEON will be releasing their fourth full-length, ‘Proponent for Sentience‘, via Metal Blade Records. To hear the full record – featuring “sweeping orchestrations, breath-taking hooks, adrenaline-fueled riffs, stunning leads, and diverse vocals” (DeadRhetoric.com – 10/10) – before release, head over to MetalSucks.net for the exclusive album stream: metalsucks.net
‘Proponent for Sentience‘ can be pre-ordered now at: metalblade.com/allegaeon. 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.

When my old buddy Kenn Jensen asked me if I wanted to contribute to the new site he had created, then called powermetal.dk, I didn't hesitate. My love for metal music was and is great. I wrote my first review during the summer of 2004 (Moonspell's 'Antidote' album). In 2015, I took over the editor-in-chief role.
