Iron Maiden drummer joins forces with former Megadeth and Anthrax members
Nicko McBrain forms new group with Dan Spitz and Dave Ellefson.
The as-yet-unnamed group, who are said to follow an "extremely heavy" musical direction, commenced the recording sessions for their debut album six months ago and have thus far completed the drums and guitars for the effort, with Ellefson set to record the bass tracks early next year. It is presently unclear who will handle the vocal duties in the band, which is not yet believed to have secured a record deal. No further information is available at this time.
Metal Reviews Note: All three of these guys are born again Christians with Nicko only recently "seeing the light" back in the summer. It will be interesting to hear what they come up with. Nicko has recently said that he has no plans to leave Iron Maiden.
