Allegaeon - Apoptosis Lyrics






Mourning the loss
Of what we thought
We would become
As we were once

As history repeats itself
We find no solace, only hell on earth
To peer upon our actions and reactions as a whole
As though expecting these circular motions
To produce a new and different outcome
Is by definition, truly insanity
We must break away from comfort to be truly free

Moulting the spirit
Exposing new and open minds
To challenge everything
And abandon compromise

Ecdysis of the stagnant
Methods creating binding ties
Shedding the skin restricting
Progress in these turbid times

Never too late to embrace
Changes for good
To be what we want to see in the world
To leave our pride behind us
And advance
To sever ties with all that we detest

When we relieve ourselves
Of accountability to stand against
The actions of others, we create room for monsters
To relish in acceptance
And stand at odds against us
In a world without consequences
Will we provide disservice to ourselves
And be left completely defenseless?

Moulting the spirit
Exposing new and open minds
To challenge everything
And abandon compromise

Ecdysis of the stagnant
Methods creating binding ties
Shedding the skin restricting
Progress in these turbid times

Never too late to embrace
Changes for good
To be what we want to see in the world
To leave our pride behind us
And advance
To sever ties with all that we detest

Be not the weakness adhering to reason
Disproven time and time again
Be not the weakness adhering to reason
Disproven over and over

All these new instruments of terror
A plague induced complacency
In the frightened, blind, and without teeth
Amidst atrocities and horrors
Remain steadfast forever fighting back
Abandon faith and revery
For these things will not save you
In these divine and writhing strands
For these things will not save you
You must design with thine own hands

Mourning the thought
Of what we lost
We will live up
To what we become

Changes in our behavior
Age of darkness, erasure
And failure to stay above the rising flood
And breath in the air that stings our lungs

Weak and wailing
Beneath a failing
Infrastructure
Of stolen cultures

Hands are tracing
And misshaping
A future fading
Unless something is done
What will we become?

Allegaeon Apoptosis Comments
  1. L.... R....

    best album of 2019

  2. D.... K....

    Sure miss Ezra's vocals. These vocal cyst feel monotone through the whole album no emotion. I know my opinion doesn't mean s*** but this was a great band once.

  3. T.... ....

    hell yeah

  4. T.... ....

    Someone got drop kicked in the pit at 2:14

  5. I.... B....

    the performance, execution, and progressions
    remind me of the first time i heard Maiden's "Somewhere in Time" or Death's "Leprosy" album way back when. Music performed by musicians not bullshitters or poseur scene wannabees.

  6. A.... ....

    Most bands, if they are gifted and lucky enough, end up with maybe one "ultimate" album that defines them and allows them to be remembered for that specific moment in time.


    This album, in collaboration with all their previous epics, proves Allegaeon is encumbered by no such limitations.

  7. M.... R....

    Great production, I would love to mix these guys live it would be an honor

  8. H.... ....

    The fact that Allegaeon tells white supremacist to fuck off is everything to me. Great music should always come 2nd, to a bands moral standards. btw racists if your following Allegaeon, they fucking hate you. As do I.

  9. M.... m....

    King iman Mehdi Ben Betouta Benhadach Tabli Mourad from Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and Marocco and

  10. J.... W....

    out of all the bands ive found this year (which are very few), Angelmaker, Riot City, and Allegaeon are the best of 2019

  11. S.... ....

    I love this album so fucking much. Got a proper Opeth feel to it in places

  12. m.... ....

    Apoptosis sounds kinda Cobainee. Kinda Heart-Shaped Boxy :D

  13. M.... J....

    Metaphobia solo , so beautiful ... Who's agree with me

  14. G.... H....

    Still the best U.S. living Metal band... ;)

  15. W.... T....

    i really love when technically insane bands don't sacrifice the nasty and tasty riffs and breakdowns while also maintain the feel of melody, nice job allegaeon

  16. E.... S....

    Death Metal is not dead

  17. C.... M....

    Love metaphobia, it sounds like Allegaeon took some black metal influence 🤘

  18. A.... R....

    Fucking Legit album!

  19. A.... D....

    Wow I used to listen to death metal, wtf

  20. M.... W....

    Awesome stuff

  21. M.... W....

    Have not landed yet

  22. m.... ....

    pure brilliance. thanks for making this

  23. M.... P....

    That stuff is metal programmed in R

  24. M.... L....

    The drummer Brandon Park is my cousin =)

  25. p.... a....

    AOTY right here☝

  26. S.... D....

    They are hugely underrated, they deserve more recognition. Wrote about them in my website bring them more attention.
    https://creatinityworld.com/band-of-the-week-allegaeon/

  27. C.... B....

    Just seen them live in Des Moines IA. I was extremely impressed!!

  28. R.... R....

    SPECTACULAR! This further proves to all the ignorant naysayers who discredit our Allegaeon Virtuosos that these five professionals can produce some very intense and intricate music. Apoptosis was definitely worth the wait. I bought two copies for myself. Support these guys and go to their shows. Watching them perform is an experience that will leave an indelible memory forever carved into your psyche. No Body Does it Better. And most certainly not in this very unique yet brutally visceral genre of Death Metal.
    All Hail Allegaeon!

  29. W.... G....

    Something about me. Something about something i said. Something i did. Something i did that you should do.

  30. T.... H....

    Holy Fucking Shit!

  31. P.... P....

    Unbelievably awesome music.
    Unfortunately the vocals let it down tough.
    Never understood why they growl.
    You can't understand a word!

  32. S.... D....

    Fucking awesome. So glad I found these guys.

  33. C.... ....

    How did I miss this band for so long ?!

  34. D.... J....

    That tap intro actually put my bass up on ebay and sold it for me, didn't even have to lift a finger.

  35. L.... P....

    awesome until the rawwww rawwww rawrawrarwrarrawwwww. bye

  36. A.... Q....

    Nice album 10/10

  37. P.... C....

    How much blast beats are there?

    Alleageon: Too many.

  38. J.... S....

    I've been listening to this at x1.25 speed for about two weeks now and only just realised. I cannot go back.
    I loved this new 'technical thrash metal' that I though i had found.

  39. B.... J....

    Since when do headbangers not sleep through Biology class!?

  40. S.... M....

    Would love to see some female collaboration with these guys. Something like COF.....,,

  41. D.... ....

    Album of the year (or looking like it, if nothing better comes out).

  42. B.... D....

    Daddy likey! It has a good beat and I can dance to it, Dick. 🤘

  43. r.... ....

    Fantastic work!

  44. a.... d....

    Biotechnical death metal.

  45. j.... b....

  46. W.... E....

    This is pretty amazing stuff, can't wait to hear more!

  47. b.... ....

    Pizdets demons

  48. L.... B....

    GO TO WACKEN!

  49. L.... B....

  55. J.... C....

  56. j.... v....

    Amazing album 👍👍👍👍👍 headphones and a pliff I am in the clouds . Album of the year for me

  57. f.... ....

    Its a shame this doesn't have more views and some dumb shit from an even dumber mumble rapper will have millions of more views. What the fuck is the world coming to?

  58. D.... V....

    This bass sound...

  59. J.... K....

    The album cover and titles are very Obscura-ish, haha.

  60. V.... K....

    fucking epic

  61. T.... ....

    allegaeon never disappoints

  62. �.... ....

    OH FUG THIS RULES

  63. g.... ....

    Clearly one of the best liveacts i´ve seen-absolute killer.

  64. R.... O....

    Wholly shit man. These guys are Spazzing on this, I thought Soilwork released the best album of the year....stiff competition here. They just get better and better.

  65. a.... m....

    masterpiece of metal

  66. G.... B....

    I'm loving the new Dynasty Warriors soundtrack.

  67. B.... G....

    If my bio class was a song, Interphase // Meiosis is that class

  68. R.... K....

    I saw these guys supporting whitechapel in 2010. Sounding good in 2019 for sure.

  69. J.... R....

    Then he started singing. What happened to talent when it comes to vocals.

    J.... R....

    J.R. Ross you might like his singing in this band’s cover of Subdivisions and Animate.

  70. s.... d....

    Yess /M\BRUTALBISING...

  71. K.... K....

    Masterpiece !

  72. O.... ....

    thats such a rare band when a metalhead could go full fan mode

  73. P.... ....

    This album and path of apotheosis are gud

  74. T.... W....

    American boys like to make some noise...fucking love this band

  75. �.... �....

    Nice <3

  76. A.... F....

    This is the best shredder album of 2019, no doubt at all.

  77. w.... !....

    Had to stop listening to purchase the vinyl then continued... amazing!!!

  78. G.... S....

    Anyone else get an old opeth feeling from this?

  79. P.... S....

    Que álbum fantástico. Que produção impecável. Eu adorei a execução, as linhas poderosas e fantásticas da melodias são explosões melódicas de poder e técnica. Um dos melhores álbuns que ouvi em 2019.

  80. Z.... D....

    Metal Mathêmatikós

  81. N.... ....

    What pisses me off about this is that I love the style of death metal music like this just I cant stand the growls. it sucks to be both so pleased by the instramentals but so displeased by the vocals. Is there any metal bands with this style of music w/o death metal vocals

    N.... ....

    Very rare. The vocals are the bread and butter of death metal. Some bands employ less growls than others. Try Alkaloid.

  82. D.... W....

    Talk about a new age of brutality, you guys are the leaders!

  83. D.... W....

    You guys are sick!! Giving bands like "Cattle Decapition" a run!! Hope nobody sees that as heresy but come the fuck on!!!! 🤘🤘🤘

  84. D.... W....

    Holy fuck i thought your early albums were brutal!! I keep this in my car just to piss off gangbangers blasting crap rap or icp kids,, this is sick as fuck!!! LOVE IT!!

  85. D.... W....

    Thank you soooo much for your hard work,, total brutality!! Dont stop! Every album keeps getting more brutal, after Formshifter i thought you guys would "die down" like some of these other bands but no! You keep it strong and fuckin brutal,, thanks so much!!!!

  86. D.... W....

    Now thats brutal!!!!!!!! Thanks guys keep it up!! Dont stop and sell out like whitechapel, you guys are the best guitarists/bass/vocals/drums on this planet!!!

  87. R.... B....

    This is elegantly technical with absolute minimum sacrifice to musicality. Every member has the spice 🔥 Nice work guys, this fucking bangs 🤟

  88. I.... K....

    this is phat

  89. P.... A....

    Allegaeon's maturing over the past couple of years has been super pleasing to watch.

  90. S.... V....

    Metal progresivo??? .. no parece para nada.

    S.... V....

    Sandro Vilar Progressive DEATH metal

  91. D.... D....

    Bought the physical CD. Hope it supports you make more like this! Sooooooooo gooooood

  92. z.... ....

    New bassist brings it up a notch, Corey was a nice dude but I'm so happy for the band's newest member, his intro on Parthenogenesis is sick!

  93. L.... B....

    Thats is so great!

  94. B.... D....

    My ears orgasm'd

  95. D.... D....

    I love this entire album with every inch of my being...

  96. T.... K....

    Saw these guys live on the Metal Blade anniversary tour. Cattle Decap and White Chapel were there as well. I hadn’t heard of them before, but trust me when I say, they stole the show. They were easily the best act of the night for me.

  97. b.... ....

    Wow. Every song is actually good. Great job guys!

  98. D.... C....

    16:26 ... WHAT THE FUCK... SO GNARLY...

  99. Y.... i....

    Y.... i....
