DAVID ELLEFSON's F5 Writing Songs For Sophomore Album

November 20, 2006

Former MEGADETH and current F5 bassist David Ellefson has issued the following update:

"It's been a while since I stopped by but I'm excited for you all to see the new live F5 DVD which just went on sale in the estore today. Tons of 'behind-the-scenes' footage as well as the live songs (one brand new track, too!) brought back many good memories from F5's beginnings to current day. Stop by and pick up a copy...I think you're going to like it!

"Other than that we've been in rehearsals since the tour ended writing new songs which are sounding great! The last couple weeks we've been in the studio making demos of those songs to get an idea of how album #2 might shape up for us. We'll keep you posted..."

As previously reported, F5's new DVD, entitled "LIVE! for all Seasons", is said to be a complete recap of the band's musical history from inception in 2003 through 2006, including the recording sessions and touring for the debut album "A Drug for all Seasons". The "edgy and raw" DVD focuses on live concert footage shot during the band's recent tour stop in Ithaca, New York. Also included is close and personal video of music from the group's early rehearsals, a special "making-of" studio segment, band interviews and more.

Shot and directed by Rich Stahle of Underground Video Television (UVTV),the live video for "Dissidence" — which appears on the upcoming DVD — is available for viewing at the UVTVweb site. Additional live tracks on the disc include "Hold Me Down", "Defacing", "Fall to Me" and a brand new, previously unreleased song entitled "Cause for Concern".

F5's debut album, "A Drug for all Seasons", was released in North America in September 2005 via Cleopatra Records. The original version of "A Drug for all Seasons" is also available in Asia on JVC Victor Entertainment and in Europe on Mascot Records.

F5, whose sound is being described as guitar-heavy melodic hard rock, recorded the album last year at a Phoenix-area studio with producer Ryan Greene, who had previously worked with Ellefson in 1991 on the demos for MEGADETH's "Countdown to Extinction" album.
