Ellefson-Soto unites two of the most formidable forces in hard rock and heavy metal around one collective vision. For as much as they’ve individually shaped the course of metal history with their contributions to numerous landmark albums, GRAMMY® Award winning bassist David Ellefson and vocalist Jeff Scott Soto harness undeniable synergy to break new ground together. To rewind, David made his bones as an original member of Megadeth, writing and performing on a series of multiplatinum landmark albums such as Peace Sells…but Who’s Buying?, Rust in Peace, Countdown to Extinction, Youthanasia, and Dystopia for which he garnered a GRAMMY® Award. Beyond other bands such as The Lucid, Temple of Brutality, F5, and Metal Allegiance, he co-wrote a popular memoir My Life With Dethand collaborated with everyone from Gus G and Mark Morton to Soulfly and Ministry. Meanwhile, Jeff lent his voice to Yngwie Malmsteen’s seminal Rising Force and Marching Out and went on to front Talisman and supergroup Sons of Apollo. He logged a year in Journey and established a role as a vocalist in the Trans-Siberian Orchestra since 2008. Their full-length debut album, Vacation In The Underworld [Rat Pak Records], ignites an inimitable hybrid of thrash firepower, rock swagger, and anthemic arena-ready thunder.
