6. Fragments Of Form And Function - Allegaeon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTSZYx4Yqko Perhaps the constant themes of death, decay and anti-religion are getting a bit too repetitive for you? The wonderful thing about death metal is that in the genre itself there are many forms of the formula that different bands strive towards in order to sound unique. Colorado's Allegaeon provide a fresh approach to death metal and are one of the most accessible technical death metal bands to fall in love with. The band play with such precision and technicality it is simply a marvel to the ears and therefore are highly recommended to solidify your love for the genre. 2010's Fragments of Form and Function is an absolute gem for technical death metal. Riffs and solos are incredibly complex and the consistent harmonies of the dual guitarists provides a pleasant listening experience accompanied with the brutality of Ezra Haynes' growls and screams. With lyrical subjects focused primarily on science, the universe and greater being, it makes a nice change from the gore-ridden subjects featured commonly in death metal. Goosebumps will be experienced when listening to the closure of 'Accelerated Evolution', we guarantee that! Put it this way, Allegaeon are a perfect example of the evolution of modern death metal. The balance between heaviness and harmony resembles an on-going battle and it all combines to make one roller-coaster of a listening experience!
