Metal Allegiance came about from an idea almost 5 years ago to serve as a collective effort for some of heavy metal’s most high profile musicians to unite and show their love for performing music together.  The line-up has rotated over time and tours, but the concept has remained a constant.

In 2016, that ideal still holds true and has become the foundation for everything Metal Allegiance; furthered with the 2015 release of Metal Allegiance’s self-titled debut album via Nuclear Blast Entertainment, which includes many top names in metal such as Philip H. Anselmo, Charlie Benante, Chuck Billy, D. Randall Blythe, Rex Brown, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, Phil Demmel, David Ellefson, Alissa White-Gluz, Matthew K. Heafy, Gary Holt, Jamey Jasta, Chris Jericho, Andreas Kisser, Misha Mansoor, Mark Osegueda, Tim “Ripper” Owens, dUg Pinnick, Mike Portnoy, Troy Sanders, Cristina Scabbia…

Natalia Britt of California Rock News met with David Ellefson (MEGADETH) prior to the METAL ALLEGIANCE show at The Whisky on the afternoon of the Sunset Strip and worldwide funeral for LEMMY KILMISTER for an exclusive interview where the two discussed METAL ALLEGIANCE, the tribute to LEMMY, RONNIE JAMES DIO and MEGADETH.
