Kings Of Thrash, the band featuring bassist/vocalist David Ellefson (ex-Megadeth), guitarist Jeff Young (ex-Megadeth), guitarist/vocalist Chaz Leon, and drummer Fred Aching, have premiered a new song titled “Bullets Ready.” A video for the track, which features Gabriel Connor (Red Devil Vortex) and Steve “Zetro” Souza (ex-Exodus), can be found below. Young commented on the single:
“During the making of the Nick Menza film, I acquired several demo recordings of Nick playing various drum progressions. In essence, the introduction, verses and chorus of ‘Bullets Ready’ came from playing along to one of Nick’s energetic grooves. During [Megadeth’s] ‘So Far, So Good… So What!’ tour, it was often David, Nick and myself that would conduct the soundchecks. It was a surreal and nostalgic feeling to be playing along and writing riffs with my longlost friend. Nick’s playing inspired so much of this song and his spirit is forever encapsulated inside this recording.”
