Power Drunk Majesty ?\"! Following on from their previous work, this second album features a lineup of top guest musicians on lead vocals and is a masterpiece that all heavy metal fans must hear! Metal Allegiance is one of the super projects representing the modern heavy metal scene. While there are many project bands featuring famous people, this unit is known as an elite force comprised of leading heavy\/extreme metal musicians. The band is also actively engaged in live performances, and in 2015 they performed at LOUD PARK, the largest heavy metal festival in Japan, receiving enthusiastic applause from the audience. Metal Allegiance originated from a free event called \"Metal Masters\" held in California in 2011 by Mark Mengie, director of audio equipment manufacturer Samson Technologies. Mengie organized a bass clinic with David Ellefson of Megadeth and Frank Bello of Anthrax, but Mike Portnoy, formerly of Dream Theater and currently of Winery Dogs and Sons of Apollo, and Charlie Benante of Anthrax joined in, and it developed into a session show where they played songs by Anthrax and Megadeth. Eventually, \"Metal Masters\" became an irregular but sporadic series of events, with participants including Kerry King of Slayer, Philip Anselmo (formerly of Pantera and Down), Scott Ian of Anthrax, Billy Sheehan (of Mr. Big and Winery Dogs), Gary Holt (of Exodus and Slayer), Dave Lombardo (then of Slayer), Chuck Billy of Testament, and Steve Vai. Event coordinator Mark eventually planned to turn \"Metal Masters\" into a recording project, which resulted in the formation of the super project band, Metal Allegiance. In 2015, the three core members of Testament?Alex Skolnick, David Ellefson, and Mike Portnoy?began songwriting, with Mark Mengie involved as executive producer. The result was their debut album as Metal Allegence, \"Metal Allegence,\" released that same year. For this album, the aforementioned trio band formed the core of the recording process, with guest singers\/musicians joining on each track. The lineup included an impressive array of musicians such as Philip Anselmo, Randy Blythe of Lamb of God, Gary Holt, Troy Sanders of Mastodon, Rex Brown (formerly of Pantera), Chuck Billy, Phil Demmel of Machine Head, Mark Osegueda of Death Angel, Andreas Kisser of Sepultura, and Christina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil. The sheer scale of the lineup quickly made Metal Allegiance the focus of attention in the modern metal scene. They also expressed their intention to actively engage in live performances whenever their schedules allowed, including their appearance at the aforementioned Loud Park 15. The members of Metal Allegiance continued composing and recording in between their activities with their respective main bands, and have now completed their second album, \"Volume II ? Power Drunk Majesty ?\". This album, which deals with the chaos of modern America, features lead singers such as Bobby \"Blitz\" Ellsworth of OVERKILL, Mark Tornillo of ACCEPT, John Bush of ARMORED SAINT, Johan Hegg of AMON AMARTH, Max Cavalera of SOULFLY and CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, Trevor Strnad of BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, Troy Sanders of MASTODON, Mark Osegueda of DEATH ANGEL, and Floor Jansen of NIGHTWISH, and boasts a diversity that is equal to or even surpasses their predecessor, and is a robust work befitting the name METAL ALLEGIANCE.
