Allegaeon
Allegaeon /ˌʌliːdʒn/ is an American melodic death metal band from Fort Collins, Colorado, founded in 2008. They have released one EP and three studio albums.
History
Allegaeon was formed in the early summer of 2008. They initially played small shows, at bars and houses in and around Fort Collins. In August 2008 they independently released a self-titled EP. Soon after, they signed with Metal Blade Records. In January 2010, Allegaeon entered the studio to record their debut album Fragments of Form and Function. The album was released in July 20 of 2010 through Metal Blade. In January 2012, Allegaeon went to Lambesis Studios in December 2011, in San Diego, California to record their second full-length album Formshifter. Formshifter was released May 8 of 2012 through Metal Blade. In 2013, founding guitarist Ryan Glisan collaborated on a project with Tim Lambesis, and left the band shortly thereafter. He was replaced by Michael Stancel. Their third full-length album, titled Elements of the Infinite, was released June 24 of 2014 through Metal Blade. The album has been heavily praised, with Gregory Heaney of allmusic calling it a "creative breakthrough" and praising "the dazzling guitar work" and "epic orchestral flourishes".In 2015, original vocalist Ezra Haynes departed Allegaeon, not citing a specific reason, though it is clear it wasn't because of internal band issues. Riley McShane was immediately selected to take over as vocalist, and has received a positive reaction from the fans. In June 2016, Allegaeon will release their fourth studio album, according to a response on Twitter.

The Cleansing
by: AllegaeonThis day unfolds wrath beyond life
In front of your eyes we face the cycle
The ground trembles as elevations rise
The land gives way now we face the blast
Your final hour brings understanding that your gods right under you
This is the cleansing a global campaign exterminating the virus that is us
Cleansing a global sentence reigning with natural justice
This day unfolds for we cannot proceed
The time is now for the land to bleed
The global cleansing humankind fears
Ash ridden skies Armageddon nears
pre-chorus
chorus
The skies light up with fire designed to cleanse the land
Pyroclastic flow devours all within its path
Greg solo
Destroying mans empires the infection that is us
A conclusion to humanity our existence turns to dust
Ryan solo
Greg solo
This day of truth of humankind's demise exploits the powers of religions lies
Catastrophic eruptions rhyolite floods wash away the streets
pre-chorus
