Today, the band has released the fourth album trailer. Watch as Mike Portnoy chats about drumming on Volume II – Power Drunk Majesty, which you can watch in the video below;
Portnoy comments, “METAL ALLEGIANCE is the ultimate metal outlet for me as far as metal drumming. That style of drumming is huge for me as I grew up with the thrash scene. That was a big part of my background but I never had an outlet for it.”
