In October 2019, David Ellefson was a guest on the Friday NI Rocks Show and we chatted about his solo projects, Metal Allegiance, Megadeth and much more. Five years later, he has departed from Megadeth and has been involved in numerous other projects. Ahead of the arrival of his band Kings of Thrash for a tour that includes dates in Dublin and Belfast, we arranged to have another chat on 8th October 2024 (coincidentally, five years to the day since our previous chat!)
You can hear that conversation on the Friday NI Rocks Show for 11th October, along with seven tracks that he plays on. We chat about Kings of Thrash, Dieth, The Lucid, Ellefson-Soto, working with KK Downing and more.

A regular feature highlighting some of the best album releases each month. I don’t do album “reviews” – this is simply a personal recommendation to check out an album - just a few words about the albums that appeal to me and about the artists releasing them. These will also be albums from which I’ll have been playing tracks on the Friday NI Rocks Shows recently. This month it includes albums from Stryper, The Dead Daisies, The Nail, Victory, Eclipse, Gabrielle De Val & The Dragonlords and Sinner’s Blood.
