Discuss The Special Guests On Volume II: Power Drunk Majesty

Pre-Order Is Available Here: nuclearblast.com/metalallegiance2-pdm

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. Their upcoming sophomore album, Volume II – Power Drunk Majesty, will be released on September 7th, 2018 via Nuclear Blast Entertainment.

Today, the second album trailer breaking down the list of special guests is released. Watch as the core four discuss the long list of all-stars that came together on the record as well as the backstories of the collaborations, here: https://youtu.be/QIlaH9vKcFI

“With this album, we are stretching out to some new places” comments Mike Portnoy.

Dave Ellefson states, “We kind of have our big, long wish list and that starts to get narrowed down, largely as the tunes come together sometimes with peoples schedules and availability.”

Alex Skolnick comments, “Any time we’re doing one of these albums we put out fillers to see who might be interested including some pretty A-list people. We don’t expect to hear back, that’s fine, but Joe Satriani came back to us.

Mark Menghi comments, Trevor (BLACK DAHLIA MURDER) vocals on this record is not what you would think of, of a typical BLACK DAHLIA song. He goes into his early Tom ArayaSLAYER thrash singing voice.”

The list of musicians for Volume II – Power Drunk Majesty include Trevor Strnad (THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER), John Bush (ARMORED SAINT), Bobby “BLITZ” Ellsworth (OVERKILL), Mark Tornillo (ACCEPT), Nita Strauss (ALICE COOPER), Max Cavalera (SOULFLY), Joe SatrianiFloor Jansen (NIGHTWISH), Johan Hegg (AMON AMARTH). It also marks the return of Mark Osegueda (DEATH ANGEL), Andreas Kisser (SEPULTURA), and Troy Sanders (MASTODON).
