After a critically acclaimed premiere on the inaugural voyage of MOTÖRHEAD's Motörboat alongside their recent addition as a co-headliner on Shiprocked 2015, Metal Allegiance will be bringing their musical crusade to stateside on January 21, 2015 at the House of Blues in Anaheim, California. A collection of heavy music's finest musicians will be reuniting for an all-star jam session as only these masters can.

"Like the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Metal Allegiance takes over Anaheim," states drummer Charlie Benante. "This will be a different show from any other jam we have previously done. It'll feature more versatility and a wider range of music."

"Metal Allegiance is one of the most musically fulfilling endeavors I've ever been a part of because it's all good friends playing our favorite songs together at any location in the world. It's like having a heavy metal brother from another mother," adds bassist David Ellefson.

First-time Metal Allegiance performer Troy Sanders adds, "Holy shit! I've been invited to the all-star game."

Kicking off the night will be Scott Ian "Speaking Words", the successful spoken-word event which Ian recounts stories from throughout his legendary career. Ian just recently released his autobiography, "I'm The Man: The Story Of That Guy From Anthrax", and has been performing these spoken-word events around the globe in support of that release.

"Being a part of Metal Allegiance gave me the chance to hang one-handed from a palm tree to take a video of Alex Skolnick playing 'Eruption'," states Scott Ian. "Can't wait to do it again! (Metal Allegiance, not the one-handed hanging). See you all soon!"
