Former MEGADETH/current F5 bassist David Ellefson recently hooked up with Metal Express Radio to discuss the genesis of F5, the musical direction and philosophies of the new album, and to offer a few insights into what to expect from an F5 live performance.

Go to www.MetalExpressRadio.com and tune into the 24/7 radio stream at the following times/dates to hear this interview along with a few choice cuts from the new F5 album:

Aug. 17 - 3 p.m. (EST)/9 p.m. (CET)

F5, whose lineup is completed by ex-SICK SPEED vocalist Dale Steele, drummer David Small, and guitarists Steve Conley and John Davis, have posted samples from their debut CD, "A Drug for All Seasons", at F5TheBand.com. The CD was released in Japan on June 22 via JVC/Victor Entertainment, with a European release scheduled for this week via Holland's 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.
