Three members of Kings Of Thrash, guitarist Jeff Young (ex-Megadeth), bassist/vocalist David Ellefson (ex-Megadeth), and drummer Fred Aching, are working on a new project together. The band will feature all original material.
Young told Metal Express Radio following:
“Everyone’s saying KINGS OF THRASH is coming out with an original album, and it’s not KINGS OF THRASH. Chaz [Leon] is our singer for that, for doing the MEGADETH stuff [with KINGS OF THRASH], but for the original stuff, Ellefson and I have been writing for over a year; we’ve been working on some songs. We’re using this guy from Brazil that’s gonna blow you guys away. He sounds kind of like [Ronnie James] Dio meets Chris Cornell meets Rob Halford. He’s got perfect pitch, so he never hits a bad note. It’s crazy.”
He continued when asked about working with Ellefson:
“It’s super cool. We didn’t really get a chance to know each other back in the day because I think [MEGADETH leader] Dave Mustaine was like the toxic thorn in the middle. But now that that’s out of there, we’re not only seeing… ’cause we probably lived ten different lives since then. We’re different people. We’re more mature and we’re getting to know each in a whole different time and space. So it’s like nostalgia plus it’s brand new.”
