Because of that, we ended up with an album that feels more like an album than anything we have done before, at least while I have been in the band. Any doubts that we may have had in previous album cycles, creatively or otherwise, we left at the door with this one. It feels like the album where we released any and all inhibitions that had been keeping us from exploring certain aspects of our creativity that didn’t fit the mold of Allegaeon or weren’t going to push the band forward. Riley McShane: It feels like our most real album. We got a hold of Riley McShane right around the holidays of 2021 to get his thoughts on the material and lyrical direction, as well as his thoughts on video game/anime/metal cross-pollination, his gig with Metal Blade Live, and much more!ĭead Rhetoric: With this being Allegaeon’s sixth album (and your third one with them), what stands out about Damnum to you? More dynamic than ever, Damnum feels more creative in tone and sees the band truly taking their heavy yet incredibly catchy formula to the next level. With a shift away from direct science-y lyrics and injecting more personal ones in their place, that’s not the only change one can expect from the death metal act’s latest.

After 5 albums that have had a very solid science backing behind them, lyrically, Allegaeon is trying things a bit differently for their sixth album, Damnum.
