The band will play in Anaheim, CA in January 2024

Metal Allegiance featuring Mark Menghi on bass, Alex Skolnick on guitars, David Ellefson on bass, and Mike Portnoy on drums began as a celebration of heavy metal, powered by the almost tribal bond shared between the extreme music community’s most revered trailblazers, armed with a list of contributors onstage and off that read like a Wikipedia entry on the genre itself.

On January 25, 2024, the band will re-assemble at The House Of Blues Anaheim for the band’s 10th anniversary celebration, which will also coincide with the return of the Winter NAMM show. The night will be sponsored by Dean Guitars, DDrum and Heavys Headphones, with opening acts being Dieth, Held Hostage and QUOR.

The last time Metal Allegiance played at the House of Blues Anaheim was in 2020, right before the world shut down.

“When Metal Allegiance first came together in 2014, no one could have guessed that we’d be planning this anniversary show ten years later. The world feels different now than it did then, but we’re still here, music still unites and that is cause to celebrate. Among the many MA highlights over the past decade have been our shows in Anaheim, which always create many great memories. This time will be no exception and no better way to mark our ten-year milestone. See you there!” Skolnick says.

Tickets can be purchased starting October 13th via Ticketmaster.

A VIP upgrade will also be available which includes early access into the venue, exclusive pre-show meet and greet with members of Metal Allegiance, personal photograph and autograph signing with members of Metal Allegiance, collectible show poster, official VIP laminate, and crowd-free access to the merch booth.

Since the band’s inception in 2014, Metal Allegiance has issued two full-lengths (2015’s self-titled debut and 2018’s Volume II: Power Drunk Majesty) and an EP (2016’s Fallen Heroes). In addition to Menghi, Portnoy, Skolnick, and Ellefson, the show will feature John Bush (Armored Saint), Chuck Billy (Testament), Troy Sanders (Mastodon), Brann Dailor (Mastodon), Andreas Kisser (Sepultura), Bobby Blitz (Overkill), Gary Holt (Exodus/Slayer), Doc Coyle (Bad Wolves / God Forbid), Hel Pyre (Nervosa) and Chris Poland (ex-Megadeth), among others in addition to their usual unannounced surprise guests.
