Metal Allegiance Recruit Alice In Chains’ William DuVall For New Song “Black Horizon”

Metal Allegiance have released a new song titled “Black Horizon.” The track finds drummer Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater), guitarist Alex Skolnick (Testament), and bassist Mark Menghi joined by Alice In Chains vocalist/guitarist William DuVall.

The involved musicians commented:

Menghi:

“Who would have thought we’d be here 12 years later with new MA music? Very excited to have one of my favorite vocalists from one of my favorite bands on the first new MA music in 8+ years, which opens up a new era for MA. As the saying goes, you can’t kill what doesn’t die.”

Skolnick:

“This song is a gift from the ghost of MA past. It’s salvaged from a stockpile of riffs we’d started long ago but never quite finished. Now, in combination with a first time voice for the band — the great William Duvall — we are pleased to announce a brand new track, forged from what once was, here to kick off a new era. Check it out!”

Portnoy:

“After having recording these drum tracks some time ago, I’m stoked that they finally get to see the light of day! Thanks to William for finishing it up for us and welcome to the MA family! \m/”

DuVall:

“I was pleasantly surprised and absolutely honored to be asked to contribute to this song and I’m very happy with the result.”

03. “Hellfire“
04. “Acetylene“

Vocalist Lis DiAngelo commented:

“I think the biggest changes from LP1 to now is that we’ve upped the intention by using more melody, harmony and singing in general. We’re working with aggression, but moving toward something beautiful and true.”

A music video for the record’s first single, “Stay Melted,” can be found below. The band also added the following about that track:

“The world can feel like a total trash fire to the point where we become lethargic. Lethargy makes us our own worst enemy; sometimes you have to kill a thing before you lose yourself to it completely.”

Soen Premiere “Indifferent” Video

Soen have premiered a new video for their new song “Indifferent.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Reliance,” which will be released on January 16. Frontman Joel Ekelöf commented:

“‘Indifferent‘ is about reliance turning into absence. The quiet shock of realizing that the person you lean on is no longer there emotionally.”

Drummer Martin Lopez added:

“Carried by the fantastic Atlantis string quartet, the song lets tension and restraint speak louder than anger. Connection carries risk, but it’s worth the attempt.”

Sunn O))) Announce New Self-Titled Album, Share New Song “Glory Black”

03. “Butch’s Guns“
04. “Mindrolling“
05. “Everett Moses“
06. “Glory Black“

Stephen O’Malley commented:

“On this album for the first time all of the instrumentation was performed by Greg and I. All of the records have our leadership and direction, of course, but this time around, it was almost like this crucible of ideas that was really at the core of what we’ve been doing.

What’s been happening with our performances over the last couple years with the two of us and no other collaborators or players has been really fresh and exciting. There’s been a lot of development. A lot of that was unexpected. And a lot of things that happened in the studio were really exciting and different from what we had been playing live, as well.”

In other news, the band also have the following dates booked:

04/01 Phoenix, AZ – The Van Buren
