Metal Allegiance — the shape-shifting heavy-metal supergroup featuring the core lineup of Alex Skolnick (Testament), Dave Ellefson (Megadeth), Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, Avenged Sevenfold, etc.) and bassist-songwriter Mark Menghi — will re-assemble at the House of Blues Anaheim on January 25th to celebrate the collective's 10th anniversary.

In addition to the core quartet, the show will feature John Bush (Armored Saint), Chuck Billy (Testament), Troy Sanders (Mastodon), Brann Dailor (Mastodon), Andreas Kisser (Sepultura), Bobby Blitz (Overkill), Gary Holt (Exodus, Slayer), Doc Coyle (Bad Wolves, God Forbid), Hel Pyre (Nervosa) and Chris Poland (ex-Megadeth), in addition to the Metal Allegiance's usual unannounced surprise guests.

"When Metal Allegiance first came together in 2014, no one could have guessed that ten years later, we'd be planning this anniversary show," Skolnick commented. "The world feels different now than it did then, but we're still here, music still unites, and that is cause to celebrate. Among the many MA highlights over the past decade have been our shows in Anaheim, which always create a lot of great memories. This time will be no exception and no better way to mark our ten-year milestone. See you there!"

Tickets will be up for purchase starting October 13th via Ticketmaster. A VIP upgrade package will also be available.
