│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ METAL ALLEGIANCE might just be the craziest, ║ │
│║ most ambitious and most ridiculous Metal project ║ │
│║ conceived sinceà I donÆt know when. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The word ôsupergroupö does not begin to describe ║ │
│║ this æbandÆ. Comprised of a core of (hold onto ║ │
│║ your knickers David Ellefson, Alex Skolnick and ║ │
│║ Mike Portnoy and Mike Menghi, whom decided to ║ │
│║ turn their all-star cover band into an all-star ║ │
│║ collective producing original material, the ║ │
│║ self-titled debut album contains a ôfewö ║ │
│║ notables who provided their own touches to the 9 ║ │
│║ tracks: ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Philip H. Anselmo, Charlie Benante, Chuck Billy, ║ │
│║ Randy Blythe, Rex Brown, Ron ôBumblefootö Thal, ║ │
│║ Phil Demmel, Alissa White-Gluz, Matt Heafy, Gary ║ │
│║ Holt, Jamey Jasta, Chris Jericho, Andreas ║ │
│║ Kisser, Misha Mansoor, Mark Osegueda, Tim ║ │
│║ ôRipperö Owens, dUg Pinnick, Troy Sanders, ║ │
│║ Cristina Scabbia, Steve ôZetroö Souza and Ben ║ │
│║ Weinman. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ By proxy, it is certainly one of the most ║ │
│║ diverse albums youÆll ever hear; the opener, is ║ │
│║ a direct and razor-edged attack spearheaded by ║ │
│║ Randy BlytheÆs characteristic growls û IÆm still ║ │
│║ trying to get my head around him and Portnoy ║ │
│║ playing on the same song. If that wasnÆt enough, ║ │
│║ the track to follow, ôLet Darkness Fallö, ║ │
│║ includes essentially the same personnel, yet ║ │
│║ adds Troy Sanders to vocals and Rex Brown to ║ │
│║ bass (that is, Ellefson and Brown playing bass ║ │
│║ on the same mother-chugginÆ song). A decidedly ║ │
│║ proggy number, it begins with a fierce attack ║ │
│║ but adopts a gloomy atmosphere dominated by ║ │
│║ TroyÆs atmospheric and distinctive vocal ║ │
│║ deliveries, and contains a lengthy, beautiful ║ │
│║ and serene interlude of bass and guitar. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Whilst ôCanÆt Kill the Devilö came off as ætoo ║ │
│║ muchÆ a METALLICA cover and ôDying Songö a ║ │
│║ sluggish and somewhat-underwhelming filler ║ │
│║ (unfortunate, as plenty of other songs would ║ │
│║ have allowed Anselmo to shine his usual self), ║ │
│║ ôScarsö is where things get interesting. The ║ │
│║ track features a fantastic juxtaposition between ║ │
│║ the aggressive and thrashy vocal attack of Mark ║ │
│║ Osegueda and the melodic and atmospheric vocals ║ │
│║ of Cristina Scabbia, with beautifully melodic ║ │
│║ guitar work to boot. Another sever juxtaposition ║ │
│║ between voices was attempted in the somber ôWait ║ │
│║ Until Tomorrowö. One of the worldÆs most ║ │
│║ underrated Heavy music vocalists from one of the ║ │
│║ worldÆs most underrated bands, dUg Pinnick lends ║ │
│║ his soulful and emotive touch to what begins as ║ │
│║ quite a foreboding and intense track. However, ║ │
│║ instead of exploding it tends to fizzle; when ║ │
│║ the heaviness kicks in, weÆre unceremoniously ║ │
│║ smacked in the face by Jamey JastaÆs barks, ║ │
│║ which feel completely out of place, especially ║ │
│║ compared to dUgÆs return to the chorus. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I donÆt think it would be appropriate, nor ║ │
│║ tasteful, to think about and analyse this album ║ │
│║ as, well, an æalbumÆ. Imagine having the Big 4 ║ │
│║ having a jam together on the same stage; itÆs ║ │
│║ probably going to sound like shit, but youÆre ║ │
│║ not going to care, because the collective big ║ │
│║ wigs of metal are throwing down in front of you. ║ │
│║ I think this album may be approached in the same ║ │
│║ way, or you may at least fancy to pick and ║ │
│║ choose the tracks with your favourite artists ║ │
│║ (or skip those less favoured). I didnÆt have to ║ │
│║ like all of it to recognise it as being one of ║ │
│║ the COOLEST ideas ever conceived in Metal. ║ │
