MEGADETH\u00a0bassist\u00a0David Ellefson\u00a0has created an imprint called\u00a0EMP Records\u00a0through the legendary label Megaforce, also known as the launching pad for legendary thrash bands\u00a0METALLICA\u00a0and\u00a0ANTHRAX.\u00a0The first release is “In Your Face”, the debut six-song\u00a0EP\u00a0from the Arizona-based all-female rock quartet\u00a0DOLL SKIN. “In Your Face” was released in\u00a0North America\u00a0on\u00a0October 30\u00a0and will be out in\u00a0Europe\u00a0due on\u00a0December 18, physical & digital via\u00a0EMP Records\/Cargo Records. <\/p>\n

“In Your Face” was produced by\u00a0David Ellefson\u00a0(MEGADETH) and mixed by\u00a0Ryan Greene\u00a0(NOFX,\u00a0CHEAP TRICK,\u00a0LITA FORD).<\/p>\n

David Ellefson\u00a0said: “The first time I saw\u00a0DOLL SKIN\u00a0perform was last year at a talent contest my son asked me to attend. I was totally blown away by their energy and great songs and that prompted me to take them into the studio this past summer to produce the \u201cIn Your Face\u201d EP. They are young and fresh but are not a novelty teenage act. They are totally absorbed in old school punk roots, while writing forward thinking songs. I was a fan from day one!”<\/p>\n

DOLL SKIN\u00a0recently released a music video for “Family Of Strangers”, which can be seen below.<\/p>\n

Formed in Arizona in 2013,\u00a0DOLL SKIN’s members \u2014 vocalist\u00a0Sydney Dolezal\u00a0(15), guitarist\u00a0Alex Snowden\u00a0(16), bassist\u00a0Nicole Rich\u00a0(17), and drummer\u00a0Meghan Herring\u00a0(19) \u2014 met while attending the Scottsdale School of Rock.\u00a0Meghan\u00a0made the initial connection when bringing the girls together to compete in\u00a0Rock Revelation Battle Of The Bands. After catching the attention of\u00a0Ellefson, who was one of the competition’s judges, the band began a sonic assault on the West Coast, playing shows with\u00a0SOCIAL DISTORTION,\u00a0GREEN JELLO,\u00a0D.R.I.,\u00a0SLUNT, and many more, through\u00a0Arizona,\u00a0California, and the\u00a0West Coast.<\/p>\n
