For technical death metal band Allegaeon, sitting still is not an option. The Fort Collins, CO group has never allowed itself to stagnate, prefering to thrive on chaos, change and evolution. Their latest full-length offering, The Ossuary Lens, is their seventh but, importantly, it's the first with original vocalist Ezra Haynes since his 2015 departure following the Elements of the Infinite album. Replacing a singer is no easy task, so the fact that Haynes was in a place to rejoin is something to celebrate.
While not a concept album in the traditional sense, there is an overarching theme to the new album - The Ossuary Lens is a representation of several different viewpoints of death.
"Each song essentially is a different topic, however there is always a different perspective of death tied to each subject," says Haynes. "Since the entire album revolves around this overarching theme of death, and the different viewpoints associated with it, we found ourselves very attached to the word 'Ossuary,' and since the album takes look at death through different points of view, we found The Ossuary Lens to be very fitting for the album title."
