Kings of Thrash Unleash Epic Australian Pro-Shoot Featuring Chris Poland, David Ellefson & Jeff Young

Metalheads, get ready to crank it up—Kings of Thrash have delivered a live pro-shoot from their 2024 Australian tour that’s nothing short of legendary. Presented by The Riff Crew, this explosive set features the holy trinity of thrash alumni: David Ellefson, Jeff Young, and, for an extra dose of metal magic, a guest appearance from former Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland.

Captured at Melbourne’s Max Watts on July 27, 2024, this pro-shoot doesn’t just showcase the band’s ferocious live energy—it also comes with a meticulously polished audio mix by Amesh Perera (Mysteriis Audio, Mammon’s Throne), making it feel like you’re front-row center at one of thrash metal’s finest celebrations.

The setlist is a metalhead’s dream, hitting all the essential tracks while throwing in a few surprises. From the relentless riffs of Into the Lungs of Hell to the classic Peace Sells, every song is a masterclass in thrash intensity. Fans can also catch drum solos, rare tracks like 502, and a killer rendition of These Boots Are Made for Walkin’.

This release isn’t just a video—it’s a full-throttle experience, offering an early Christmas present for Megadeth fans and thrash lovers alike. With Chris Poland adding his signature shredding to the mix alongside Ellefson and Young, the Kings of Thrash prove why they remain a force to be reckoned with.
