When\u00a0ANTHRAX\u00a0is off the road, he tries out new material at open mics around New York City. \u201cA lot of these lyrics are about the inner struggles of my life, and about the rage that has built up from my life experiences \u2014 my brother\u2019s murder; my father abandoning my family when we were young, leaving us with no funds to pay the bills,\u201d he says. \u201cThe ups and downs of life in general. I\u2019ve always had an anger inside that music really helps me deal with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The follow-up to\u00a0ALTITUDES &amp; ATTITUDE\u2018s 2014 self-titled EP was once again produced by\u00a0Jay Ruston\u00a0(ANTHRAX,\u00a0STEEL PANTHER,\u00a0STONE SOUR), with\u00a0Jeff Friedl\u00a0(A PERFECT CIRCLE,\u00a0ASHES DIVIDE) returning behind the kit.<\/p>\n<p>The album artwork was created by\u00a0Melody Myers\u00a0(Escape The Fate,\u00a0CO-OP,\u00a0Marc Rizzo,\u00a0Ron Keel).<\/p>\n<p>The official lyric video for the first single,\u00a0\u201cOut Here\u201d, made by by\u00a0Melody Myers\u00a0of\u00a0Designed By Melody, can be viewed here:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/rockngrowl.us2.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=1de7ea4683ee13b5e90bc2d8c&amp;id=448f123051&amp;e=77eae45467\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/kmij2mzUju8<\/a>. The track features a guest appearance by\u00a0ANTHRAX\u00a0guitarist\u00a0Jon Donais.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe album has the perfect title,\u201d\u00a0Ellefson\u00a0adds. \u201cThis is music that has been living inside of us for so long. There\u2019s a big musical part of each of us that doesn\u2019t get heard anywhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boasting a deep bench of guest stars, including\u00a0Ace Frehley\u00a0(ex-KISS; the track\u00a0\u201cLate\u201d),\u00a0Gus G.\u00a0(OZZY OSBOURNE,\u00a0FIREWIND),\u00a0Nita Strauss\u00a0(ALICE COOPER),\u00a0Christian Martucci(STONE SOUR) and\u00a0Satchel\u00a0(STEEL PANTHER), the record also represents the fulfillment of a lifelong but little-known ambition for two uniquely gifted artists. As\u00a0Bello\u00a0puts it, \u201cAll I ever wanted to do was write good songs. I\u2019ve always been a melody guy. I love hooks; I love catchy songs with a good riff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0ALTITUDES &amp; ATTITUDE\u00a0story begins in 2010, when\u00a0Bello\u00a0and\u00a0Ellefson\u00a0started touring together to lead bass clinics for the amp manufacturer\u00a0Hartke. In need of backing tracks to support their demonstrations, they embarked upon some writing sessions and discovered their chemistry.<\/p>\n<p>Bello\u00a0and\u00a0Ellefson\u00a0debuted\u00a0ALTITUDES &amp; ATTITUDE\u00a0in early 2014, with a self-titled three-song EP that earned the duo airplay on SiriusXM and an appearance on\u00a0VH1 Classic\u2018s\u00a0\u201cThat Metal Show\u201d. Those tracks \u2014\u00a0\u201cBooze and Cigarettes\u201d,\u00a0\u201cTell the World\u201d,\u00a0\u201cHere Again\u201d\u00a0\u2014 are included on\u00a0\u201cGet It Out\u201d\u00a0as bonus cuts, in remixed and remastered form.<\/p>\n<p>Ellefson\u00a0explains that \u201cALTITUDES &amp; ATTITUDE\u00a0could have only happened at this moment in time\u201d \u2014 when the titans of thrash metal\u2019s \u201cBig Four\u201d are older, wiser, kinder and more open creatively. \u201cWhen you\u2019re still climbing up the hill,\u201d he says, \u201cthere\u2019s no room for friendly competition. But once you\u2019ve been to the top of the hill and you\u2019ve seen the view \u2014 which all of the \u2018Big Four\u2019 have \u2014 it\u2019s okay to break bread, hang out, have a drink.\u201d Or, in the case of\u00a0ALTITUDES &amp; ATTITUDE, delve into hard-rock songwriting in a profound way. \u201cTo hear other sides of us as artists \u2014 not just as musicians and performers, but as artists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ALTITUDES &amp; ATTITUDE\u00a0has shows announced in early 2019, including on the\u00a0ShipRocked\u00a0cruise in late January.<\/p>\n<p>Source:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rockngrowl.us2.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=1de7ea4683ee13b5e90bc2d8c&amp;id=36c12fdbcf&amp;e=77eae45467\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">www.facebook.com\/altitudesandattitude<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ALTITUDES &amp; ATTITUDE\u00a0featuring\u00a0ANTHRAX\u00a0bassist\u00a0Frank Bello\u00a0and\u00a0MEGADETH bassist\u00a0David Ellefson, have announced 2019 UK\/European tour dates including\u00a06\u00a0shows with\u00a0SLASH\u00a0f\/Myles Kennedy&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8260,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[191,192,193],"class_list":["post-8259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-news","tag-anthrax","tag-frank-bello","tag-megadeth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8259"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8259\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8261,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8259\/revisions\/8261"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
