Apoptosis:

Description

Allegaeon have delivered their defining statement. A near-perfect symbiosis of technical, progressive, and melodic death metal, it is a record that is as crushingly heavy as it is inventive, lithe and intelligent, and marks a significant leap forward in their songwriting. ‘On this record, I was more open to new ideas that we might not have used in past’ states guitarist Michael Stancel. ‘Rather than deleting something because ‘it’s not Allegaeon-y enough’, I would take a step back and see if that idea fit the song and decide if it was worth keeping. With that mentality came some of my favourite songs, because I was less worried about if it fit into our old sound’.
