Damnum, according to the promo materials, is the first Allegaeon album on which all band members creatively collaborated. Evidently, some of the previously unheard voices are big fans of Swedish metal.

Didn't like the clean vocal parts. This could be a 9 from me if there aren't any cleans

I really don't like the cleans either. I feel they are necessary and if done well it would have been great. But this guy annoys me. I'm not much of a fan of the growls either in most parts

This is a huge disappointment for me. It doesn't hold a candle to the two previous masterpieces they released.

The previous albums were really good. It's undoubted that this is a good album, the technical prowess of those instruments is unmatched. However none of the songs really stuck out for me. The memorability factor for this album is kinda low

100% my favourite song on the album, it's got mad Opeth vibes

I’ve been a big Allegaeon fan for all their previous albums but this one doesn’t work at all for me for some reason .. Somehow it feels like it lacks memorable moments. Maybe because it has less of those melodeath influences and is more rooted in plain tech death, but it feels pretty boring and repetitive to me sadly. The production also feels quite flat compared to their older albums, I get ear fatigue from this mixing ..

I haven't revisted this album for months but tbh I've gone right off tech-death recently.

Perhaps the critics who say their albums are too long have a point. Sometimes less is indeed more.

I reviewed this one for the Latin American webzine The Dark Melody. A powerful and very consistent listening.
