Mark Menghi comments “SoCal should prepare for a full thrash assault. We’ve assembled a band that includes some of the Bay area’s finest mixed in with the East Coast thrash attack while adding a sprinkle of L.A. and a dose of Brazil. This show is going to be a no-frills, no-bull shit throw down. With all that’s going on in the world, down to our personal lives, a statement needs to be made and thrash is in all of our hearts, so no better place to do it than with our friends in Southern California.”
“We’ve been doing METAL ALLEGIANCE shows in Anaheim at the end of January almost every year and it is always THE metal event of the year” comments Mike Portnoy. “Each year the show gets bigger and better and I look forward to another metal extravaganza in January!”
