SHADOWS FALL drummer Jason Bittner, former MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ex-JUDAS PRIEST/ICED EARTH singer Tim 'Ripper' Owens and DIATRIBE guitarist Tristan '1690' Grigsby have joined forces to record a song for the upcoming tribute album to late PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott.

The track 'Leave It Alone' is currently streaming at this location.

The song was recorded and mixed in Chicago at Farview Recording by Jason Walsh with additional tracks recorded at Saltmine studios in Phoenix, AZ. It features solos by special guests Nick Bowcott (ex-GRIM REAPER) and fan Brian Cashmore.

According to a press release, "'Leave It Alone' is the first track to be released from the up-coming memorial disc honoring the legendary Dimebag Darrell Abbott. The incredible story of Darrell's life and death is well known and tributes were given to him at the benefit show in Chicago as well as the Rock Walk induction in LA. Unfortunately, not everyone who wanted to participate in those events was able to at the time. We all wanted to do something to honor Darrell. This song is our way of contributing to the same giving spirit and legacy that Darrell was all about. We want to continue the movement of selfless sharing that he started and lived by. This is our chance to "pay it forward" so to speak. 'Leave It Alone' will be made available for download exclusively via iTunes with all the proceeds going to Little Kids Rock, in Darrell's name. Little Kids Rock believes that all children in our public schools deserve music education as music education is a transforming force in children's lives. Dimebag had the same philosophy with always sharing his passion and love of music to the world inspiring kids to pick up a guitar."
