David Ellefson Reveals New Band The Lucid And Release New Single

Check It Out

A few days after teasing his new project, former Megadeth bassist finally revealed his band The Lucid. It features vocalist Vinnie Dombroski, guitarist Drew Fortier and drummer Mike Heller. After launching, Ellefson also released a new single and shared details of their upcoming album.

Their self-titled debut LP arrives on October 15 via SpoilerHead Records, and to preview the record, they dropped the song “Maggot Wind”.

“It’s been a real blast making a record with these guys and I must say that it’s refreshing to explore some new musical avenues,” Ellefson said, “to step out a bit from what each of us have done stylistically in our own careers. There was an effortless synergy that came with creating these songs together which is always amazing when working with new people. I’m looking forward to everyone checking it out!”

It was back in November 2020 when Ellefson first discussed The Lucid.

“It’s cool stuff, and it’s very different,” Ellefson explained. “It’s, obviously, not thrash metal, hence the name LUCID. [The name] kind of feels like what the music sounds like.”
