METAL ALLEGIANCE “Volume II: Power Drunk Majesty” /CD/
The second full-length studio album by American Thrash/Groove Metal supergroup.
Three years later, this super-group have reconvened to do it again with their follow-up album.
It’s clear Metal Allegiance approached this record differently, paring down the list of guest guitarists from nine to just three. There are also fewer singers this go around, and they aren’t quite as obvious as with the first album. The main difference with this album is that it feels like the work of a true band and not a project. Yes, there are still guest vocalists on each track, but with this album, Metal Allegiance make it clear that they are a Thrash Metal band making Thrash Metal music – fewer guests, no cover songs, and a greater overall sense of thematic and musical consistency.
On “Volume II: Power Drunk Majesty”, there are seven new guest vocalists, including: Trevor Strnad (The Black Dahlia Murder), John Bush (Armored Saint / ex- Anthrax), Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth (Overkill), Mark Tornillo (Accept), Johan Hegg (Amon Amarth), Max Cavalera (Soulfly), and Floor Jansen (Nightwish). Two vocalists from the first album return - in the form of Metal Allegiance’s “fifth Beatle” - Mark Osegueda (Death Angel) and Troy Sanders (Mastodon). There are also two guest guitarists: Andreas Kisser (Sepultura), Nita Strauss (Alice Cooper), and, of course, main guitarist - the real guitar hero - Alex Skolnick (Testament).
CD includes 16-page booklet.
