METAL ALLEGIANCE: Release first trailer for "Volume II: Power Drunk Majesty"
July 2, 2018
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.
Last week, the band announced they will release their sophomore album "Volume II - Power Drunk Majesty" via Nuclear Blast Entertainment on September 7th, 2018.
The band released the first album trailer. Watch as the core four discuss the differences between their debut album and their upcoming album, here:
Alex Skolnick comments:
"The first time around we were kids in a candy store. We could do whatever we wanted - all different eras, all different types of influences. We did go in a few different directions on this album, but not quite as many. This time, I think we have a much better sense of what type of songs really fit the project."
The band released the first single "Mother of Sin" featuring Bobby "BLITZ" Ellsworth (OVERKILL). Watch the video here:
