In the clip below Madcap Music Review’s John Golden interviews Megadeth bassist David Ellefson. He talks about working with ISP Technologies, his EMP label imprint, and Megadeth's new Dystopia album:

The Arizona-based quartet Doll Skin released their debut EP, In Your Face, on October 30th, 2015 through EMP Records, an imprint created by Ellefson. EMP's music will be brought to the world via legendary label Megaforce, also known as the launching pad for legendary Big 4 thrash bands Metallica and Anthrax and many more.

Ellefson says: “When I was first introduced to Doll Skin, I knew there was something really special there. Through working with them as a producer, it became even more apparent what these girls were capable of. I'm really excited to be working with them, and able to unleash them on the world, through Megaforce, no less."

Vocalist Dolezal echoes David's sentiment. "Working with David has been one of the most amazing experiences you could imagine. He's such a cool guy, and a great producer, and has created such amazing opportunities for us. Every day it's kinda like, pinch me, ya know? We're so excited to finish this record and finally release it."

Formed in Arizona in 2013, vocalist Sydney Dolezal (15), guitarist Alex Snowden (16), bassist Nicole Rich (17), and drummer Meghan Herring (19) met while attending the Scottsdale School of Rock. Meghan made the initial connection when bringing the girls together to compete in Rock Revelation Battle of the Bands. After catching the attention of Ellefson, who was one of the competition's judges, the band began a sonic assault on the West Coast, playing shows with Social Distortion, Green Jello, DRI, Slunt, and many more, through Arizona, CA, and the West Coast. 

Doll Skin has premiered their new video, "Let's Be Honest”, streaming below. The track is from the band’s debut LP, In Your Face (Again), produced by David Ellefson, available via EMP Label Group.

The band, who recently played Shiprocked 2016, as well as dates with Hellyeah and the Dead Kennedys, are in the middle of a headlining run before heading out with Otep, Lacey Sturm, September Mourning and Through Fire.

After Otep, the band will finish up with a handful of newly announced dates with Hellyeah, Escape The Fate and Sunflower Dead.
