WATCH: Allegaeon Releases Full Band Play-Through For Cover of “Subdivisions” by Rush

In anticipation of the September 23 release of their fourth album, melodic death metal group Allegaeon released a new video for their cover of Rush’s 1982 song “Subdivisions.” Performed with incredible technical proficiency, the Colorado-based metal-heads do justice to the prog-masters’ original version. New vocalist Riley McShane even does an admirable job of mimicking Geddy Lee’s unmistakable falsetto wail. Check out the live play-through of this epic cover song below:

The band preempted the August announcement of Proponent for Sentience with an incredible new song titled “Gray Matter Mechanics – Appassionata Ex Machinea.”  The album follows 2010’s Fragments of Form and Function, 2012’s Formshifter and 2014’s Elements of the Infinite. The band’s latest effort will be produced by Dave Otero, best known for his work with Cattle Decapitation. Lyrically, the album follows an arc that blends the futurism of science fiction with the “reality of the present.”

Proponent for Sentience:
1. Proponent for Sentience I – The Conception
2. All Hail Science
3. From Nothing
4. Gray Matter Mechanics – Apassionata Ex Machinea
5. Of Mind and Matrix
6. Proponent for Sentience II – The Algorithm
7. Demons of an Intricate Design
8. Terrathaw and the Quake
9. Cognitive Computations
10. The Arbiters
11. Proponent for Sentience III – The Extermination
12. Subdivisions

The band will also embark on a quick fall tour across North America, beginning in Las Vegas, NV and concluding in Montreal, ON. The tour includes a stop in Southern California to take part in the Ozzfest Meets Knotfest extravaganza.
