Allegaeon–Formshifter CD Review
by: Stephan Hume
Don’t buy this album for your grandma–unless she is into head-banging, fist-pounding fury! Colorado locals, Allegaeon (pronounced: uh-lee-juhn), and consisting of Ezra Haynes (vocals), Ryan Glisan (guitar), Greg Burgess (guitar), Corey Archuleta (bass), are releasing Formshifter on May 8, 2012. It is a “must have” for metal fans and studying musicians alike. True to its form, Formshifter will no doubt shift your notion about what can be delivered in just ten, brutal tracks. It is the quintessential record for battle-thirsty metal heads. But do not be deceived; those that seek softer melodies, or even a sprinkle of classical music, will also feel right at home. I kiddeth ye not. Laser-precise drumming, thunderous bass, and constant vocal intensity are refreshingly offset by “Mozart-like” guitar flurries. They will give you a nice breather, as if you were planning on whining for one!
