Sleaze Roxx has issued an interview with vocalist David Fefolt of heavy metal supergroup ANGELS OF BABYLON. The following is an excerpt:

Q: Let me be honest here. I have shied away from bands that David Ellefson has been a part of, the reason being is that a number of groups he has been involved with just didn't cut it in my opinion - I felt bad for the guy. So when I was given the opportunity to listen to Kingdom Of Fear I proceeded with caution.

A: "To be honest I felt the same. I was a huge MEGADETH fan from back in the day, I've listened to F5 and a couple of the other bands. I had high hopes, but nothing really stood out. You could listen to five songs and you couldn't really tell if it was a different song from one to the next. This was before I met the guy. I thought to myself, 'well I guess that's it for him, since he's not in Megadeth anymore'. When Rhino and I started to get the music together for this album Dave listened to it and wanted to be a part of it. I was excited but surprised, because this wasn't thrash or heavy like some of the stuff that he has done in the past. He really went crazy over this band. I thought that it could be a little bit too melodic for him, but he loved it. He's still part of the band, though he's back in Megadeth."

Q: I wanted ask you about that. Your album was released abroad in January of 2010 and Dave reunited with Dave Mustaine in Megadeth around that time.

A: "It was weird because he got back with Megadeth at the exact same time as we released the album. It was literally days after the release of the record that he reunited with Megadeth. All I could think at that time was, 'man, what horrible luck for me'. In a way that created a little bit of a buzz because people began asking him about Angels Of Babylon. Also a lot of people had written the guy off, so maybe we wouldn't have gotten much attention had he not gone back to Megadeth. Like I said, he wants to continue to be in this band, it's just a little hard right now because he's touring with Megadeth. He's made it clear that he'd like us to use a fill-in bass player if we have any scheduled shows until he becomes available next year."
