F5 — the Phoenix-based band featuring
David Ellefson, ex-SICK SPEED
vocalist Dale Steele, guitarists Steve
Conley and John Davis, and
ex-MEGADETH drummer Jimmy
DeGrasso — released its sophomore album, "The
Reckoning", on August 19 through OarFin
Distribution. The follow-up to 2005's "A Drug for
All Seasons" was produced by Ryan Greene
at his Crush Recording facility in Scottsdale,
Arizona.
"We went into the recording process for 'The
Reckoning' with a clear-cut mission," said
Ellefson. "The mission was to make a powerhouse
metal record that showcases the world-class playing of
F5 while continuing to build upon our melodic
abilities."
Staying true to its style of crafting heavy-but-melodic hooks,
F5's hard-hitting new disc is, according to
Ellefson, "a natural progression for the
band."
F5 called in Ellefson's longtime
rhythm section cohort Jimmy DeGrasso to play drums
on the new album following the departure of original
F5 drummer Dave Small.
"A Drug for all Seasons" was released in North
America in September 2005 via Cleopatra Records.
The original version of "A Drug for all Seasons"
is also available in Asia on JVC Victor
Entertainment and in Europe on Mascot
Records.
