ALLEGAEON
Colorado melodic progressive tech-death metal band Allegaeon are riding high on the critical acclaim of Apoptosis, their fifth full length album (and possibly some legal weed). Learn more about that Metal Blade-released record — their first in four years — in Invisible Oranges’ recent interview with original member Greg Burgess, and catch the band on tour now with the likeminded Inferi (from Nashville) and the Prosthetic-signed Paladin (from Atlanta). The NY show is November 1st at The Kingsland in Brooklyn, which is definitely a step up from the… subway.
JOSEPH

Visit here for all dates, and watch the group perform Good Luck, Kid highlight “Fighter” live in the studio below.
