Colorado natives, ALLEGAEON, recently completed a brand new performance demo video. Watch as guitarist Greg Burgess and bassist Corey Archuleta show fans how they play “Secrets of the Sequence,” the epic closing track to their latest studio offering, Formshifter. The video is streaming now at metalblade.com/allegaeon.
In addition to the video, fans will be able to see ALLEGAEON LIVE throughout the US for the next two months, beginning today. The band is performing a series of headlining shows leading up to their US tour with Wretched, Abiotic, and Rivers of Nihil. The confirmed listing of dates can be found below, as well as their official Facebook page.
Comments Burgess of the tour: “We are super stoked to be getting back on the road, and we think we’ve got a pretty fun set for the fans. Our headlining shows will be about an hour, playing songs from every release of our career, including the debut of a brand new song ‘The Fibonacci Series.’ As for the bulk of the tour with Wretched, Abiotic, and Rivers of Nihil, we’re incredibly excited. We’ve been wanting to tour with our buddies in Wretched for a long time now, and are stoked to finally see it come to fruition. And it’s gonna be awesome to meet our label mates Abiotic and Rivers of Nihil! This tour is gonna blow people’s minds! Bring your riot gear.”
ALLEGAEON‘s second full-length album, Formshifter, has significantly surpassed its predecessor and debuted at #29 on the Billboard New Artist Chart and #99 on the Top Hard Music Albums Chart. This is a huge achievement for the band as they continue to carve out their foothold within the metal community. Formshifter has earned critical acclaim worldwide. Metal Hammer crowns the band, “the new face of ruthless modern death metal,” Nocleansigning.com calls Formshifter “a bewilderingly powerful album that is an essential of the year,” while Outburn Magazine raves in a 10/10 review, “one of the landmark releases in melodic death metal in 2012…fans of pure metal that is both ambitious and true to its roots need this record in their lives. Now.” Elsewhere Kerrang Magazine gushes, “It’s not just the magnificently blended barrage of monstrous riffs and insidious hooks. Nor is it solely due to the fact it sounds like the quartet are trying to bring the sky crashing down on your head. And it’s not just the wealth of complex leads that will make many guitarists petulantly sulk in the corner after a single exposure. It’s all of those elements – combined with great songwriting that makes the record truly special.”
