Cleopatra Records is proud to announce a slew of tour dates for Kings Of Thrash, the iconic thrash metal group featuring former Megadeth bassist David Ellefson and guitarist Jeff Young.
The band's newest original song, “Bullets Ready,” has just been released and features a powerful vocal duet between vocalist Chaz Leon and Gabriel Connor of Red Devil Vortex.
The track also boasts a special guest appearance by former Exodus vocalist Steve “Zetro” Souza.
“Bullets Ready” was mixed by Grammy-winning producer Cameron Webb, known for his work with Motörhead, Danzig, and Godsmack.
Kings Of Thrash will embark on their massive Global Thrash Tour in support of the new song, hitting stages across Canada, the US, Norway, Ireland, and the UK.
The tour kicks off on May 1 at Rockpile West in Toronto, ON, before making its way to the UK for a series of dates in August.
The band's lineup features Chaz Leon on vocals, Gabriel Connor from Red Devil Vortex on vocals, David Ellefson and Jeff Young handling guitar duties, and drummer Fred Aching holding down the rhythm section.
Kings Of Thrash was formed in April 2022 following a special appearance by Ellefson and Young at Ultimate Jam Night at the legendary Whisky A Go-Go in Hollywood, California.
The band's live show is built around their concept of “The MEGA Years,” celebrating early Megadeth albums and rarely performed deep cuts from their decades-long tenure with the thrash metal pioneers.
This vision has led to the release of their acclaimed double live album and DVD, The Best OF The West – Live at the Whisky A Go-Go.
In 2025, Cleopatra Records released the band's first thrash-punk inspired trek, “Lockdown,” which featured a music video directed by Fred Aching.
Now, with their new single “Bullets Ready,” Kings Of Thrash continues expanding its musical scope while performing worldwide on their massive Global Thrash Tour.
Fans can catch the band live at various dates across Canada and Europe this spring, with more information available on the band's website.
