Brought together by Metal Allegiance principal partner Mark Menghi, the project’s original material came together from the creative minds of David Ellefson of Megadeth, Mike Portnoy of The Winery Dogs, and Alex Skolnick from Testament, alongside Menghi. The four writers then reached out through their metal phone books to a diverse lineup of performers, each adding their own personal musical stamp to the collection of nine original songs.
“Gift of Pain” features Lamb of God front man Randy Blythe and can be viewed below.
Metal Allegiance comes out on September 18th.
