"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!" Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine announced on May, 25 that Ellefson was no longer a member of the band: “We are informing our fans that David Ellefson is no longer playing with MEGADETH and that we are officially parting ways with him. We do not take this decision lightly. While we do not know every detail of what occurred, with an already strained relationship, what has already been revealed now is enough to make working together impossible moving forward. We look forward to seeing our fans on the road this summer. So we cannot wait to share our brand new music with the world. It is almost complete.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CPQ2i2QMjnQ/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=effe9d1a-62ac-4eb1-99ed-43edc3f213cc
