The pair have been working on a full-length album for the last six months and Ellefson says they've recorded "some great tunes." He tells White Line Fever: "We are finalizing, probably in the next two weeks, getting the vocals and final bits done on it. I'm excited about it. There are some great tunes."
The project was devised when the pair were doing bass clinics together and rather than just play Megadeth and Anthrax material, they decided to write fresh music instead.
Ellefson continues: "This other spirit soars when the two of us get together, get in a room and start writing songs together. They just fall off our guitar necks. And it's a beautiful thing.
"What's cool about it is we haven't left our bands. And that's the beauty of it because we have this whole other side of us that gets to be exposed. So it's very genuine, very pure, and I think that really comes through with the music." Read more and check out a performance from the project here.
