Altitudes & Attitude, Featuring Members of Megadeth and Anthrax, Share New Song, "Out Here"
The band's debut album, 'Get It Out,' will be released in January 2019.
Altitudes & Attitude, featuring Anthrax bassist Frank Bello and Megadeth bassist David Ellefson, have announced the release of their debut album, Get It Out, on January 18, 2019, via Megaforce. Today they are also sharing the first single, "Out Here,” which features a guest appearance from Anthrax guitarist Jon Donais. You can check out the lyric video, created by Melody Myers of Designed by Melody, above.
The follow-up to Altitudes & Attitude’s 2014 self-titled debut EP, Get It Out was produced by Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Steel Panther, Stone Sour) and features drummer Jeff Friedl (A Perfect Circle, Ashes Divide). Guest musicians include Ace Frehley (on the song "Late"), Gus G, Nita Strauss, Christian Martucci (Stone Sour) and Satchel (Steel Panther).
Said Bello about Get It Out: "I've learned that writing songs is very cathartic. A lot of these lyrics are about the inner struggles of my life, and about the rage that has built up from my life experiences—my brother's murder; my father abandoning my family when we were young, leaving us with no funds to pay the bills. The ups and downs of life in general. I've always had an anger inside that music really helps me deal with."
Added Ellefson: "The album has the perfect title. This is music that has been living inside of us for so long. There's a big musical part of each of us that doesn't get heard anywhere else."
