METAL ALLEGIANCE: Third Studio Webisode Released

Posted in: Int. News. Tagged: Metal Allegiance, Nuclear Blast Records. Leave a comment

Heavy metal is more than a genre, more than an attitude and certainly more than whatever cheap epithets are dismissively thrown at it by clueless critics. At its best, metal is a lifestyle, a community, a tribe uniting people across cultural, economic and philosophical divides with the primal pulse of bombastic and majestic expression.

Never before has one entity encapsulated so many components of the heavy metal community’s continued vibrancy and dedication to the lifestyle than the collective fittingly called METAL ALLEGIANCE.

METAL ALLEGIANCE will release their debut self-titled album on September 18th via Nuclear Blast, but until then, the collective is teasing fans with videos from their sessions in the studio. The third trailer is now online and covers the recording of the fourth track, ‘Dying Song’ (feat. Phil Anselmo (PANTERA, DOWN). Watch the clip here:

The release show for “METAL ALLEGIANCE” will take place at Best Buy Theater in New York City on September 17th, 2015.

The band’s forthcoming new album includes appearances by Philip H. Anselmo, Charlie Benante, Chuck Billy, Randy Blythe, Rex Brown, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, Phil Demmel, Alissa White-Gluz, Matt Heafy, Gary Holt, Jamey Jasta, Chris Jericho, Andreas Kisser, Misha Mansoor, Mark Osegueda, Tim “Ripper” Owens, Doug Pinnick, Troy Sanders, Cristina Scabbia, Steve “Zetro“ Souza and Ben Weinman, in addition to Ellefson, Menghi, Portnoy and Skolnick.

The album contains nine original songs, with the digipak edition including a cover of ‘We Rock’ as a tribute to the late and great Ronnie James Dio.

Metal-Allegiance

“METAL ALLEGIANCE” Tracklist:

01. Gift Of Pain (feat. Randy Blythe, Alex Skolnick, David Ellefson, Mike Portnoy, Gary Holt)
