Megadeth’s David Ellefson has released a new single titled “Simple Truth” via Bandcamp. Ellefson wrote the track with Thom Hazaert and Italian musicians Andy Martongelli and Paolo Caridi. Proceeds from it will go towards COVID-19 relief efforts in Italy.
Ellefson commented:
“We actually wrote the song in Milan during a tour rehearsal, and a lot of it was recorded there. We’ve gone back and forth with Andy in Italy, from the Platinum Underground in Phoenix, and with our mixer and co-engineer Alessio Garavello in London. While we’re all staying positive and just keeping busy, it’s heartbreaking to see what’s going on over there with the death toll climbing every day.”
“We played several shows in Italy on our European ‘More Live With Deth’ tour last year, and I was just there with Megadeth back in February. It’s absolutely devastating to see what the country is going through right now. The people, and it’s culture, have been so welcoming to me over the years, that i’m honored to do anything I can to give something back to them during this time of need.”
“Simple Truth” is the title track of a new EP, which also includes a new mix of “Vultures,” a live version of “Vultures,” and a live version of “If You Were God.” It will also appear on Ellefson’s upcoming album.
