That’s quite a lot of musicians on just the one album! Typically I would imagine that each member will bring their own taste to each song, seeing appearances from Alex Skolnick (Testament) and Chuck Billy (Testament) along with the progtastic looking track 8 which has three parts, of course played by Portnoy Ex Dream Theater, Transatlantic and far too many other great bands) with guest spots from Misha Mansoor (Periphery) it will no double be an interesting listen that will surely attract metal heads from all ages and backgrounds!
Metal Allegiance’s debut album is set for a September 18th release via Nuclear Blast!
