Allegaeon have chosen to remain on the side of science on this album instead of softening the blow with a Star Wars vision of the future where a balance between man and machine has reached an unreasonable balance. Very dark and impending as we quickly approach what many call The Singularity where machine intelligence surpasses human intelligence without a moral compass to define what is right or wrong on any level other than purely logical.
#ALLEGAEON PROPONENT FOR SENTIENCE LYRICS PRO#
With the palpable concept of science-fiction driven just outside of the realms of modern technology, robotic sentience is contrasted as a positive step forward for mankind versus man’s innate inability to accept that he is inherently flawed and doomed to destroy himself regardless of his pro forma motivation. This quintet of Fort Collins, Colorado musicians again prove that they have the drive and passion to continue outshining prior efforts with focused, technical Death Metal that is melodic, modern, heavy and extremely thoughtful with sound and lyrical subject-matter. Thank goodness, because Proponent For Sentience is devastatingly good! When given the opportunity to review Proponent For Sentience, due out September 23rd, 2016, I immediately got dibs before someone else snatched it from grasp. Their playing and songwriting abilities appear to have no limit. I continued to follow them through Formshifter in 2012 and Elements of the Infinite in 2014 as they progressively pushed the bounds of their craft. Being a huge fan of Technical Death Metal, I have been listening to Allegaeon since they released Fragments of Form and Function back in 2010.
