METAL ALLEGIANCE began as a celebration of heavy metal, powered by the almost tribal bond shared between the extreme music community’s most revered trailblazers, armed with a list of contributors onstage (and off) that read like a Wikipedia entry on the genre itself.
On January 24th, the band assembled at The House Of Blues Anaheim for their annual winter assault. This marks the bands fifth year performing annually in Anaheim. The night included several special guests as well as music from their self-titled album and their recent sophomore album, Volume II – Power Drunk Majesty.
In METAL ALLEGIANCE fashion the band featured an all-star line-up including the core four as well as Andreas Kisser (SEPULTURA), Mark Osegueda (DEATH ANGEL), John Bush (ARMORED SAINT), Chuck Billy (TESTAMENT), Bobby Blitz (OVERKILL), Trevor Strnad (THE BLACK DAHLIAMURDER), Mark Tornillo (ACCEPT), Phil Demmel (MACHINE HEAD), Alissa White-Gluz (ARCH ENEMY) and Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein (The Misfits).
