Ellefson checked in from yesterday's (July 3rd) Big 4 show in Gothenburg, Sweden at Ullevi Stadium.
Said Ellefson - "We had a great jam last night (in Gelsenkirchen, Germany at Veltins Arena)! A new song - another DIAMOND HEAD song called 'Helpless' which I know Dave (Mustaine) was excited about because he used to play it with METALLICA back in the day. Who knows, that may open things to other songs we will jam on."
