Allegaeon (Best thing that has ever happened) - Elements of the Infinite

Its been over a year since Ive even bothered writing a review for this blog. BUT that was before the gods of ALLEGAEON came out with their new album Elements of the Infinite. Its almost like I was woken from a great metal hibernation. Many metal albums were disappointing or just not as exciting as I would like them to be. The dudes at Allegaeon on the other hand delivered well. Not one song falls short in this 10 track album. It is melodic technical death metal at its finest! This guitar riffs are out of this world and catchier than the worst of Disney songs. Greg Burgess, Micheal Stancel and Corey Archuleta are comparable to Jedi Masters but you know...with guitars. Brandon Park stepped up to the plate that is drums and smashed the hell out of them. Ive never heard such menacing work with such great melodic beauty.
Ezra Haynes puts his vocals to test delivering complex lines with scientific themes. My Odin is it beautiful. They should play this stuff on Nat Geo. The only thing more angelic would be Morgan Freeman softly speaking these lyrics on that worm hole show. Check out great songs such as 1.618 (watch the humorous music video while your at it), Dyson Sphere, Biomech PT. II (yes it lives up to the first), and Genocide for Praise - Vals for the Vitruvian Man. Speaking of Genocide for Praise, that might be one of the best metal tracks I have heard, EVER. Spanish grandpa guitars have never sounded so dam good. Its like mixing the beauty of Scarlett Johansson with the epicness of Arnie and producing the best dam thing this world has seen. You got heavy, melody, sex, intelligence, I just cant explain it with words.
After the first listen of this album you will feel that butterfly feeling you got when you tried to speak to your middle school crush. But instead of failing to impress her, Elements of the Infinite gets straight to making out...with your ears! I recommend you buy this album, their other albums, their merch, and hell give them your wife, children and house because they deserve all of it. Now enough of my hardcore desperate fan boy rant, BUY IT NOW! 10/10 fur sure. You can catch Allegaeon on their upcoming U.S. tour supporting Chimaira. Check out the dates here.
