Finally, a Safe for Work Video Involving Tube Meat Thanks to Allegaeon’s “Iridescent”
Let’s all be honest for once — the internet’s just a digital repository for dick jokes and innuendo when it’s not just straight up jamming OnlyFans porn bots all up in your social media feeds. You know it, I know it and the dudes in Allegaeon know it. That has to be the only explanation for why the dudes got glizzy crazy in the newly released video for “Iridescent” — something, something hot dogs look like dongs and condiment facials are funny.
Having finished working on their seventh full-length album with producer Dave Otero, the band released a taste of what’s to come with this latest single. According to vocalist Ezra Haynes, who might now be wondering what he got himself into when he rejoined the band, “Iridescent” is a new track that feels like it would fit perfectly in their past works.
“Originally recorded during the same session as our last single, ‘Inhumation,’ we wanted to release ‘Iridescent’ to give our fans a little love before we full send our next album cycle. This stand-alone single was cut from the very cloth of Allegaeon’s Elements Of The Infinite era. Perfect timing too, as we’re about to head out on the North American leg of the Cancer Culture Tour with Decapitated, Speticflesh, and Kataklysm this April. It will be very cool to see how the newer material is received. Here we are, just about ten years from when we released the song ‘1.618.’ We still get asked to this very day about our wheel of subgenres, or, ‘Where’s the crab?’ I’m really looking forward to the next ten-plus years of glizzies.”
Guitarist Greg Burgess said the music behind “Iridescent” only came about because of Haynes’ return back in September 2022.
“The music for ‘Iridescent’ spawned from my excitement of working with Ezra again. We had been throwing ideas back and forth, rekindling our writing chemistry, and this song just seemed to write itself. The accompanying video’s subject matter evolved much like our video for ‘1.618.’ Five guys sat around talking about stupid things until we started laughing. Then the question was posed… ‘What if?’ Anyway, I hope people like hotdogs and stupid videos.”
Once you’re done laughing/feeling weirded out/wondering why you’re so hungry while watching the “Iridescent” video below, be sure to check out the upcoming tour dates they have with Decapitated, Septicflesh, and Kataklysm.
