Allegaeon Premiere New Single & Music Video “Iridescent”
Band Photo: Kataklysm (?)
A fresh standalone track named “Iridescent” from technical melodic death metal outfit Allegaeon was released online today. This track serves as a companion to last October’s “Inhumation”. Accompanying the release is a video directed by K. Hunter Lamar. This offering precedes the band’s upcoming seventh studio album, which was recently completed with their preferred producer, Dave Otero (known for his work with Cattle Decapitation and Aborted).

This forthcoming record marks the band’s first featuring vocalist Ezra Haynes since 2014’s “Elements Of The Infinite”. Haynes shared his thoughts on the track:
“Originally recorded during the same session as our last single, ‘Inhumation,’ we wanted to release ‘Iridescent’ to give our fans a little love before we full send our next album cycle. This stand-alone single was cut from the very cloth of Allegaeon‘s ‘Elements Of The Infinite‘ era.
Perfect timing too, as we’re about to head out on the North American leg of the Cancer Culture Tour with Decapitated, Speticflesh, and Kataklysm this April. It will be very cool to see how the newer material is received. Here we are, just about ten years from when we released the song ‘1.618.’ We still get asked to this very day about our wheel of subgenres, or, ‘Where’s the crab?’ I’m really looking forward to the next ten-plus years of glizzies.”
Comments guitarist Greg Burgess:
“The music for ‘Iridescent’ spawned from my excitement of working with Ezra again. We had been throwing ideas back and forth, rekindling our writing chemistry, and this song just seemed to write itself. The accompanying video’s subject matter evolved much like our video for ‘1.618.’ Five guys sat around talking about stupid things until we started laughing. Then the question was posed… ‘What if?’ Anyway, I hope people like hotdogs and stupid videos.”
