About
Mark Menghi is both the guy onstage and the man behind-the-scenes for not one but two rock n’ roll supergroups. An industry veteran, with nearly two decades of experience as a musician, visual artist, and marketing/creative director, the Long Island bassist and father of two is a lifelong disciple of the four-string history made by Black Sabbath’s Geezer Butler, Iron Maiden’s Steve Harris, and the late Cliff Burton.
As founder, songwriter, bassist, and “key master” of Metal Allegiance, Mark became brother and peer to many of the musicians he grew up worshipping. He was even blessed with the chance to play one of Burton’s basses onstage, while the late Metallica legend’s father looked on. He indulges his love of thrash in the internationally acclaimed Metal Allegiance alongside Mike Portnoy (ex-Dream Theater), Alex Skolnick (Testament), and David Ellefson (Megadeth), which began as a celebration of the genre but evolved to produce a pair of classic slabs of their own.
As both bassist and the “M” in BPMD, he’s immersed in the classic rock that’s equally close to his heart, faithfully rendering inspired versions of signature tunes by the likes of Aerosmith, ZZ Top, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, with Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth (Overkill), Phil Demmel (ex-Machine Head), and Portnoy on their 2020 American Made debut.
