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 self-titled debut album this Friday, September 18th via Nuclear Blast. In support of this upcoming release, the band has released the music video for 'Gift Of Pain' (feat. Randy Blythe, Alex Skolnick, David Ellefson, Mike Portnoy, Gary Holt) today:
