Asked if the KINGS OF THRASH songs will be in the "old-school thrash" vein, Ellefson said: "It's interesting. Because Jeff and I… He's a VAN HALEN fan, as am I. He's a Randy Rhoads fan, as am I. A lot of my writing, even in MEGADETH, [from the] 'So Far, So Good... So What!' [album] into the '90s, was a lot of my participation, some of this stuff kind of swings into those areas, which I like. I think it's pretty cool. I think Jeff and I are creating something — we're creating a new sound. It doesn't have to be four songs of blistering assault. It can be musical.
"It's interesting connecting with Jeff Young all these years later, 'cause he's had his own experiences musically and in life; I've had mine," he continued. "And now we intersect all these years later. It's like a family reunion — it's, like, 'Tell me about your life. Where have you been? What have you done? Who have you seen?' So I think that's the musical intersection that we're having as well right now."
