David Ellefson Announces New Project With Jeff Scott Soto

David Ellefson appears to be one of the hardest working bassists in rock and metal. He’s unveiled two new projects in the past year, and now he’s unveiled a third.

The former Megadeth bassist has teamed up with Jeff Scott Soto to release an album called Vacation In The Underworld, which will be out on October 7th. The Ellefson-Soto band will be filled out by Andy Martongelli on guitar and keys and Paulo Caridi on drums.

“The band follows the tradition of successful individuals that joined forces to create memorable music: David Coverdale & Jimmy Page, Tony Iommi & Glenn Hughes, Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades, Michael Sweet & George Lynch to name a few examples,” Rat Pak Records states. “The album features eleven tracks and three bonus recordings that demonstrates why Ellefson-Soto are considered legends by many in the metal world.”

Ellefson-Soto has yet to release any of the music. We’ll keep you updated as the band progresses.
