ALLEGAEON – The Making Of Proponent For Sentience Mini-Documentary Video Streaming

On September 23rd, melodic death metal outfit Allegaeon will be releasing their fourth full-length, Proponent For Sentience, via Metal Blade Records. Today, the band has launched a mini documentary for Proponent For Sentience, which gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the album with footage from the studio.

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.

Proponent For Sentience can be pre-ordered now at this location. Another playthrough video for the new track, “Proponent For Sentience III – The Extermination”, featuring guest appearances by Soilwork’s Bjorn “Speed” Strid (vocals) and Scar Symmetry/ex-Bloodshot Dawn’s Benjamin Ellis (guitar) can be found below.
