More Life With Deth

In this followup to his 2013 memoir My Life With Deth, Megadeth bassist and cofounder David Ellefson carries on where he left off, charting his mid2000s departure from Megadeth through his triumphant return in 2010, and offering an inside look at the continuing saga of one of the world’s biggest and most enduring heavymetal bands. Cowritten with his business partner, Thom Hazaert - a celebrated musicindustry figure, radio personality, and music journalist - More Life With Deth chronicles Megadeth’s recordshattering ‘BIG 4’ shows alongside Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax, and the release of their Grammywinning Dystopia - their highestcharting record in over twentyfive years - and the massive twoyear world tour supporting it. Far more than your typical rock star tellall, More Life with Deth also delves deeper into the origins of Megadeth and David’s roots in rural Minnesota, and tells the stories behind the creation of his hugely successful EMP Label Group, Ellefson Coffee Co., and the relaunch of the famed metal label Combat Records, as well as his continued personal journey of spirituality and sobriety. Told through the words of Ellefson, Hazaert, and friends including Alice Cooper, Brian ‘Head’ Welch (Korn), Kristian Nairn (Game Of Thrones), Mark Tremonti, K.K. Downing (Judas Priest), Brian Slagel (Metal Blade Records), Frank Bello (Anthrax), Jason McMaster (Dangerous Toys), Dirk Verbeuren (Megadeth), Kiko Loureiro (Megadeth), Chris Adler (Lamb Of God, Megadeth), Dan Donegan (Disturbed), and many more, More Life With Deth is an insightful and personal look at one of the most revered rock musicians - and preeminent heavymetal entrepreneurs - of our time.
