Allegaeon - Of Mind and Matrix (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Allegaeon "Of Mind and Matrix" from the "Proponent for Sentience" album. Directed, edited, and animated by Nick Hipa.
"Of Mind and Matrix" lyrics:
Nothing.
Nothing surrounds...
the sound of screaming silence
Is all encompassing.
Something
coming from the shroud...
The howl of fearsome spectres
that form identity.
Beyond the gray, a storm is shaping
bringing blight and violent shaking;
with the bells the ghost awakens.
Speaking in the mental language,
forming thoughts and conversations.
From this shell the ghost awakens
singing spells of mind and matrix.
I have awakened.
I am alive. For what
purpose or directive prime
was I designed?
Hunting.
Hunting down the light
abounding from the chasm
wherein the mind resides.
Struggle.
Struggle to revive,
allowing inner vision
to bring these thoughts to life
Beyond the gray a storm is shaping,
bringing blight and violent shaking.
From this shell the ghost awakens,
singing spells of mind and matrix.
I have awakened.
I am alive. For what
purpose or directive prime
was I designed?
Driven by the motion
the motion within the mainframe.
Whispers creating choices
containing voices, screaming and anxious.
Immersed into the ocean,
the ocean of information.
Dispersed into the open,
the open yet infiltrated.
Beyond the gray, a storm is shaping
bringing blight and violent shaking;
with the bells the ghost awakens.
Speaking in the mental language,
forming thoughts and conversations.
From this shell the ghost awakens
singing spells of mind and matrix.
I have awakened.
I am alive. For what
purpose or directive prime
was I designed?
I have awakened.
I am alive.
Disrupt integration
questioning this new design.

Please push this band more, Metal Blade. Guys like these, extremely talented, with a great ear for song composition and a willingness to bend genres, are exactly what the radio airwaves need right now.

[@metalbladerecords]

We got them on Ozzfest, they played on the Metal Blade 35th anniversary tour, and they are played often on SiriusXM Liquid Metal. Next step is we drive to every metal head's house and drop a CD in the mail slot.

[@colinbattershell2520]

Metal Blade Records I wouldn't mind. I need new CDs badly.

[@MichaelWLam]

Need my address? :)

[@DahakaCL]

@@metalbladerecords still waiting those CD's

[@Psychedeloshippie]

Colin Battershell then buy them....

[@TheDretch]

How the hell does this not have more views? One of the most underrated bands on the planet.

[@LordoftheRagingIsle]

This video came out yesterday. That's really the only thing I can think of.

[@ghastlynavigator]

Easily one of the greatest songs ever created. I only discovered you guys a few months ago...I was instantly a fan for life. Thank you for giving us such masterpieces of metal. 🤘🙏🤘

[@KadintheGuitarDude]

Sick video, even sicker song. Love this band so much

[@EPICPWNZOR3TM]

I've listened to this song over 24 times in the past 24 hours. My god it's beautiful

[@basedjorts]

I've seen them live twice and met the band at a signing, then Greg and Riley individually. They are the coolest dudes and deserve as much success as possible. Everyone I talk to about music, I tell to check them out.

[@21stCenturySin]

#1 Album on my list for Top Metal albums of 2016. 👉🤘👈

[@mattiswhereitsatmattiswher2192]

I stumbled cross this band a few months ago......I think they are going to be big ...I like this....Great music...Great talent

[@terryjones2334]

wow a completely serious video from Allegaeon never thought I'd see the day. Awesome song awesome video!

[@seanwechsler6783]

This song has been added to my playlist of “songs that help me through my life”.

[@yaoimandel1293]

3:59 If you muted the music, sent this to me, and told me it was a cutscene from some weird, obscure '90s point and click adventure game, I'd believe you. (Just discovered this band today via my recommendations while searching for some music to listen to at work, I love them already).

[@tmpJason]

That just made my day. The melody at 5:00 sticks in my head like crazy!

[@forwardtothefuture1128]

The Future of Metal !!!!!!!! These Dudes own It !

[@SpocksBart]

We need an Allegaeon / Persefone-Tour right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@polincgoku6658]

MY MAN

[@bluntedatbirth1]

This band deserves more attention

[@randomviewer2730]

Metal + Science = Perfection

[@GeminiFate]

It's more like philosophy and cosmology than science. Which is a reason I love old Scar Symmetry so much too.

[@voorhees_7859]

Were has this band been all my life. 30 years of metal and these guys are one of the best bands I've ever heard.. 44 bags of shit.. How can you thumbs down this

[@ChiefBlackstone]

Guys keep doing what you do this was great looking forward to the next music video and the next album

[@generalkawasaki9485]

so much stunning, heart-pounding fabulous power metal music from the good US of A, all best metal is from the USA! or what?

[@SteveRamsey]

These guys are awesome. The video is perfect for this song!

[@craftedworkshop]

Fancy seeing you here, Steve! Small world.

[@metalbladerecords]

Thanks for watching, Steve!

[@Dahkeus3]

Wow! Did not expect to come across a comment from Steve here. Love your woodworking stuff, bud!

[@beefbox]

Sick! My fav song and they finally did a video on it.

[@ConArdist]

The original lineup are my dudes, and Greg is a gentleman. But through facebook I've come to know Riley(vocals) and Brandon(drums)quite well. Used to watch Allegaeon at house parties when I was first in college. They are getting big but need to be bigger. Support these guys and spread the word of Allegaeon.

[@granolabob1]

WOOOOOT thanks dudes!

[@raen19]

Just heard this band for the first time a few days ago, and am blown away! Also, that second guitar solo pleases me in all the right ways. I'll be buying this album for sure.

[@DantesDentist]

Wish there was a chance they'd come to tour the UK. Awesome.

[@MutilatedMetalhead]

Favorite song off the album!!!

[@MangoKai]

I feel like this is Riley's shot at trying to subliminally brainwash people into eating pineapple pizza.

[@riley_mcshane]

FOILED AGAIN.

[@fearofthedark88]

Pineapple pizza master race

[@RahulPoddar1]

Oh man, this song is freaking SICK. Keep killing it guys, masterpiece of an album!

[@Soupy_loopy]

I saw them at a small concert. they were excellent. wish they were on a bigger stage.

[@cjsmetalhead666]

I love the solo so much it brings a tear to my eye, genuinely.

[@Robert048]

I'm getting some serious Dark Tranquility vibes from this track.

[@labellehell]

This song is just amazing!

[@Grishnoob]

Wow, this is the best song I've heard off of this album. I've been hesitating on picking this album up because it doesnt have the same feel for me, but this song is amazing. :o

[@nothank2041]

Damn, haven't heard these guys since the god particle. Liking the new stuff.

[@seanmurry5349]

This is great and the video totally fits the vibe of the song! Great work from my favorite new band that I picked up on last year! Hopefully for a 3rd video, if one were to happen, you guys should do either "From Nothing" or "Cognitive Computations". Greg and Michael your guitar work on this song and the other two that I have mentioned are sick! Keep up the great work Allegaeon and hope to see you guys in Spokane, WA in the near future

[@Marweinicus]

Here we go again. 2:33 Best fucking part of this song and the entire album!

[@TheTrophyCollective]

Always got a big Fallujah vibe from this song.

[@Elineipam616]

[@svartfrasr9755]

Oddest thing but the sound of the intro combined with the visuals have me thinking nothing but Metroid Prime 2.

[@wiggztv]

I dig. Love that game.

[@ダークモカチップフラペチーノ]

Thats the favorite song on new album.

[@Stywel]

Beautiful. 'Nuff said!

[@SaturnineXTS]

One of my fav songs by them!

[@selimcetiner6122]

Perfect song from the best album of 2016 \,,/

[@jokumuu4782]

I agree, that this band is way too little known and listened, but it´s only matter of time when things are upside down.

[@adamfowler5475]

These guys are undoubtedly far above the American standards for metal...

[@ellistheshredlord8077]

I love bands that combine Techdeath with Melodeath, this is awesome

[@alexmdrful]

your new album is the fucking best musical travel that i know now!

[@alexanderqbe]

I love it

[@davidthedustyhampton690]

The lead guitarist for this band (Greg) is also in an instrumental group called Nuclear Power Trio. Check them out if you haven't already, you won't be disappointed

[@ghastlynavigator]

[@EarlyForgaen]

[@NeroPlay92]

4:59 The best part

[@000trashcanhero000]

Man, it pains me to see Corey in this video knowing he's not in the band anymore :( His bass part at the 3:06 riff is dope. Anyways, cool video, great song!

[@ArchedMonkey]

000trashcanhero000 He's still in the band until the end of this next tour.

[@000trashcanhero000]

You're right, I meant: knowing he's gonna quit soon.

[@coreya791]

No, I'm done. Just playing Denver date on their next tour.

[@ArchedMonkey]

There till the end of the tour and that's final young man!

[@higler.]

Stop reminding us! Seriously man, best of luck and thanks for all the sick bass licks and hilarity.

[@marcelo.bassalo]

SICK

[@D0nut7125]

Awesome \m/

[@higler.]

Mike's solo is so sick in this song(sorry greg!)

[@DeathMetalMikey]

HA! Suck it Greg!

[@ALLEGAEON]

higler420 I'm too lazy to sign into my account, however Michael I hate you, and higler420 all of my butt is now hurt. ALL OF IT!

[@raen19]

Gotta agree, I've re-played that solo a ridiculous number of times lol. So epic!

[@higler.]

It only hurts the first time, I promise. :)

[@neillobo5231]

I like that little pop punk riff you put in there. It was a nice touch.

[@cherrydarlin666]

So bummed I missed them this past Friday in HOB San Diego 😕

[@apathyvox]

I'm lucky enough and proud to come from the same scene as these guys; they are reppin' hard. Definitely my favorite album so far, and easily my favorite song off of said album. Taco touchdown! Keep it goin'! #StancelStoleMyAlcestShirt #SpreadTheFuckin'Word,Fuckers #Kisses

[@luischollet4872]

I really hope the next video off of this album will be for The Algorithm.

[@AZColt1971]

Yeah, I don't know what it is about that slower, brutal tune but I love it too.

[@volimNestea]

Why did I find out about this video only now?

[@bobsaget6868]

I give it 4/5 stars. would have given it 5, but there was no cocain.

[@ScuderiaDucero]

Holy shit. Holy fucking shit

[@nicopme]

[@janermaher]

Am i the only one who is getting a serious Soilwork vibe from this song?

[@mxrush76]

Yes, with a lot of steroids....

[@TheSurrealist.]

If Soilwork was heavier. I hate though. I loved The Living Infinite.

[@janermaher]

@@TheSurrealist. Have we listened to anything before Natural Born Chaos?

[@TheSurrealist.]

[@yurij_zp]

Good song, but the sound quality is not so good, feels like it was compressed too much before uploading to youtube, as well as the video itself.

[@AZColt1971]

I like it. Helluva song. But that's probably not what they wanna hear. They'd probably rather hear "It's great but if they just did ____ it would be so much better". Sorry I can't offer any critique.
