Trailblazing metal collective METAL ALLEGIANCE has returned with their brooding new single, ‘Black Horizon’. Their first release of original music since 2018, the song features roaring opening riffs from guitarist Alex Skolnick (TESTAMENT) and vocalist William DuVall’s (ALICE IN CHAINS) ominous howls, painting an apocalyptic scene. Mark Menghi (KING ULTRAMEGA), who also produced the track, anchors the low end on bass alongside Mike Portnoy (DREAM THEATER) on drums, keeping the dread looming low in the sky, ready to explode with ferocity at any moment. Systems fail, shadows fall, and the doomed cry for salvation in this desolate world. Gloomy, minimalistic verses bookend thunderous choruses, chronicling a desperate fight for survival.
