Metal veterans DAVID ELLEFSON and JEFF SCOTT SOTO present the official video for the title track of their new collaborative album, delivering powerful riffs and melodic intensity.
Grammy Award winning bassist David Ellefson (ex-Megadeth) and acclaimed metal vocalist Jeff Scott Soto have once again joined forces and are set to release their second album, Unbreakable, on August 15 via Rat Pak Records. Alongside the album announcement, the duo has unveiled a powerful new music video for the title track, “Unbreakable”, giving fans a first taste of the record’s sound. Watch the video below
The duo Ellefson-Soto is joined by Italian guitarist Andy Martongelli and Paolo Caridi on drums and features 11 studio tracks with guest appearances from Tim Ripper Owens (KK’s Priest) and Burning Witches frontwoman Laura Guldemond.
Recorded at Rogue Studios in Wembley UK, by Alessio Garavello and produced by Chris Collier (Mick Mars, Korn, Flat Black) Unbreakable is a sonic assault packed with catchy riffs, melodic vocals, and thoughtful lyrics that blends their classic metal roots with modern rock intensity.
“This album digs even deeper,” says Ellefson. “It’s heavier, more personal, and shaped by everything we’ve experienced on and off the stage.” Soto adds, “The energy we poured into this one—it’s the sound of two lifetimes colliding in riffs, rage, and redemption.”
Ellefson further comments, “One of the things I like most is I feel like you can hear a real sense of brotherhood on our records, that we’re really in the creative process together as a band. The consistency of our sound has remained intact while allowing us to further build upon each other’s strengths from our debut album. It’s an honest, organic approach that blends well and lets us explore new sounds and musical paths. At the end of the day, I don’t think there is anything that an artist desires more than that!”
Unbreakable drops August 15, and will be available on all major streaming platforms with limited edition autographed Vinyl, CD & Cassette bundles exclusively through Rat Pak Records.
