Ellefson, featuring Megadeth bassist David Ellefson have released their first single, a cover of Queen’s ‘Sheer Heart Attack’ taken from the forthcoming album ‘No Cover’ due November 20th via Combat records/Earmusic
‘No Cover’ includes 19 classic tracks from Motörhead, WASP, Def Leppard, Cheap Trick, Queen, Judas Priest, Twisted Sister, Fastway, Fight, Dead Kennedys, and more.
With Sheer Heart Attack the guys have been faithful to the original and kept the thundering rhythms and hard hitting bass. If anything they have amped up the punkier elements of this track. An exciting glimpse into what the rest of the album has in store.
