Former MEGADETH guitarist GLEN DROVER spoke with SpazioRock's Alessandra Leoni about his new solo album, Metalusion, which hit stores on April 5th. The following is an excerpt:

Q: Can you tell me something about the recording process of Metalusion?

A: "It was a very slow process, because we just wanted to have fun, no rush. Just take our time with it and make sure it was worth the wait!"

Q: Metalusion sounds much more like a band effort, rather that a solo artist and some guest musicians. I think that is a strong point!

A: "Absolutely!!! It really is more of a band thing for sure. That’s the way we all look at it!"

Q: Metalusion it’s a combination between metal and fusion. I have always liked that combination and I have always thought that metal could combine with many other genres (i.e metal with orchestra, metal with jazz, metal with folk). Do you agree with me?

A: "For sure, But I think there is a lot of prog rock as well. The combinations came out well, I think."

Q: In this album variety is a main feature, in my opinion. There are many bands who are able to go on playing the same stuff for years, but… I think that music is a huge sea to explore! I’d be bored to play the same genres for months and months.

A: "I agree totally. I played just metal for years and love it, but it was time for me to do something more that just that."
