Melodic technical death metal band Allegaeon has announced that their new album, The Ossuray Lens, will be released on April 4th via Metal Blade Records. To mark the occasion, the Colorado-based quintet has also unveiled a new music video for their track "Driftwood" which you can watch below.




Guitarist Greg Burgess shared the following about the new track "Driftwood:" "This song holds a special place in Allegaeon history, honestly. This piece was written for Apoptosis by our then-brand new bassist Booboo. In its original form, it was so tech death, I don't think we knew how to incorporate it into the Allegaeon sound when he submitted it. Fast forward six years and, as we were kicking around ideas for this album, I remembered the piece, and asked Booboo if he wouldn't mind if I took a crack at possibly rearranging its format a little smoother into the Allegaeon sound. I just wanted there to be a little bit more repetition of some parts. The song turned out amazing. Always goes to show – never throw out anything as you never know when it'll come back."






Allegaeon are also set to join Warbringer, Skeletal Remains, and Summoning The Lich for a North American run this Spring.
