Metal Allegiance Tap Sepultura, Arch Enemy, Etc. Members For January Anaheim, CA Show

Megadeth, Testament, etc. supergroup Metal Allegiance will return to The House Of Blues in Anaheim, CA on January 24th for their fifth annual winter show. As is often the case, the performance will find the band’s core augmented by a number of guests. Among those tapped for this forthcoming show include:

Andreas Kisser (Sepultura)
Mark Osegueda (Death Angel)
John Bush (Armored Saint)
Chuck Billy (Testament)
Bobby Blitz (Overkill)
Trevor Strnad (The Black Dahlia Murder)
Mark Tornillo (Accept)
Phil Demmel (Machine Head)
Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy)
Doyle Wolfgang von Frankstenstein (Misfits)

Metal Allegiance‘s Mark Menghi and Alex Skolnick both commented:

Mark Menghi: “NYC might be home but Anaheim is the epicenter of our favorite and most epic MA gigs. Can’t wait for everyone to hear tunes from MA1 along with our new record Volume II: Power Drunk Majesty live along with some other amazing surprises we have in store. Gonna be another thrash-tastic night of MA branded thrash metal. Who knows, maybe Blitz and I will actually let the Jersey/NY jokes go for a night?”

Alex Skolnick: “While there are many concerts in and around Orange County during late January, when it comes to the heavy side of things, Metal Allegiance at HoB Anaheim is the place to be (as attested to by more and more fans each year). Even if I weren’t playing the show, this one would be at the top of my list to attend. Don’t miss it!”

In the more immediate future, Metal Allegiance will hit the stage—sans Megadeth‘s David Ellefson, who has prior scheduling commitments—this Saturday, October 27th. They’ll be performing at the Brooklyn Bowl in Brooklyn, NY, covering Black Sabbath‘s 1970 self-titled album live. Overkill‘s Bobby Blitz will also join them for that set.

Metal Allegiance released their sophomore album “Volume II: Power Drunk Majesty” in September with members of Mastodon, Amon Amarth, The Black Dahlia Murder and more all guesting.
