Melodic technical death metal outfit Allegaeon are showing off another piece of what’s in store on their forthcoming album “Damnum“. The song “Of Beasts And Worms” from that record has newly emerged on the net and you can take it in below, along with a music video for it.
Regarding this track, the band’s vocalist Riley McShane offered:
“This newest single ‘Of Beasts And Worms‘ is about finding a place of inner quiet, a safe haven to explore your thoughts and escape from the anxieties of your life. This lyrical intention is paired with a depiction of disparity and tiredness with the world around you and the stressors that contribute to the deafening silence of the mundane.
In the music video, we showcase a more physical – and graphic – display of this thought process where the escape from the daily grind is manifested into a willing self-sacrifice. Though a dramatization, this concept of sacrifice to find your own personal peace can be applied to something less tangible and played an important role in my own process while writing the lyrics for Damnum. Thank you for watching and listening, we hope you enjoy it.”
