Altitudes & Attitude

A hard rock/heavy metal unit featuring legendary thrash bassists Frank Bello (Anthrax) and David Ellefson (Megadeth), Altitudes & Attitude eschew the neck-snapping attack of both artists' flagship bands for an old-school blast of melody-driven retro-metal. Longtime friends, Bello and Ellefson had been looking to collaborate for some time. With Bello handling vocal duties, bass, and rhythm guitar, and Ellefson taking on four- and six-string duties as well, the duo issued an eponymous EP in 2014. For their full-length debut, the pair enlisted A Perfect Circle's Jeff Friedl to handle drums, and brought in a slew of notable guest guitarists including Ace Frehley (Kiss), Gus G (Ozzy Osbourne, Firewind), Christian Martucci (Stone Sour), Jon Donais (Anthrax), Russ Parrish (Steel Panther) and Nita Strauss (Alice Cooper). The resulting Get It Out was released via Megaforce Records in early 2019. ~ James Christopher Monger
