Allegiance was a cornerstone of the Australian heavy metal scene during the 1990s, specifically hailing from the isolated but fertile Perth underground. Formed in 1990, the band quickly distinguished themselves through a sound that synthesized the technical 'Big Four' thrash influence with the emerging groove metal and hardcore aesthetics of the era.
n (1994), is widely considered a landmark in Australian thrash, earning them support slots for major international acts like Metallica and Slayer. Critically, they were noted for their 'tight' sound, a characteristic that aligned them with the San Francisco Bay Area school of metal. Their follow-up, Skinman (1996), saw the band leaning further into industrial and groove influences before their eventual disbandment in 1997. Their legacy persists as a bridge between traditional thrash and the more aggressive, rhythmic metal styles that dominated the late 90s, maintaining a cult following among collectors of regional metal history.
