Former Megadeth Members Starting New Band

12/19/2014
. (Classic Rock) Former Megadeth duo Shawn Drover and Chris Broderick are set to form a new band together. Drummer Drover and guitarist Broderick quit Megadeth within hours of each other last month, and Broderick says the pair have unfinished business.

He plans to make a solo album in 2015, but at the same time, he and Drover have already recruited an as-yet-unnamed singer and are talking to record labels about their new band.

Broderick tells Liquid Metal: "One of the things that I've really recently become very excited about is, through talking with Shawn Drover, we've talked about how we had all this material that was never gonna get released, all these killer, heavy riffs that we had written.

"So we just decided, 'Hey, why don't we put the stuff out? Why don't we form a band and get out these killer riffs, just to see what people think?' So we formed a band, we're working with a killer singer - he's awesome - and we've got record labels that have made some good offers on the table, and we're really excited about where that's gonna go." He goes on to explain the decision to leave Megadeth here.
