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 communityÔÇÖs continued vibrancy and dedication to the lifestyle than the collective fittingly called METAL ALLEGIANCE.
 
METAL ALLEGIANCE will release their debut self-titled album on September 18th via Nuclear Blast, but until then, the collective is teasing fans with videos from their sessions in the studio. The third trailer is now online and covers the recording of the fourth track, ‘Dying Song’ (feat. Phil Anselmo (PANTERA, DOWN). Watch the clip here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7kr4Zw4goc
