David Ellefson Of Megadeth Works With New Musical Project Johnny Wore Black

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) he musical musings of a poet turned rock song writer, Johnny Wore Black is an artist who uses words to draw listeners in to his unusual tales. Born from a background in the movie business and as an A-list stunt performer, Johnny Wore Black delivers a powerful and cinematic sound. Insistent that it's up to the listener to discover how the music fits into their own journey through life, the songs encompass everyday situations by twisting them into dark corners and putting them against a solid rock background.

The latest fruit of this labour is the double A side single 'Firefly'/'Comfy Slippers', which will be independently released on June 15th. You can see the stunning animated video for 'Firefly' below, with sketchy, monochrome visuals augmenting a classy song about facing your own personal demons head on and the inherent challenges therein.



The singles are both taken from current Johnny Wore Black album 'Walking Underwater Part 2'. Available now, it followed debut LP 'Walking Underwater Part 1' as a double whammy of albums released in 2014 to excellent reviews. 'Part 2' sees Johnny Wore Black continue to evolve his unique energy and song writing style, with an intense, passionate lyrical style.

On hearing the singles and the album as a whole it should come as no surprise that this acerbic brand of indie-rock already has fans among music's top table. Notable followers of Jonny Wore Black include Tim Simenon (Bomb The Bass), Danny Bigfoot (Shanks and Bigfoot), Loretta Heywood (Winter in July), David Ellefson (Megadeth), Simon Hutchby (Earthtone 9) and more.

David Ellefson chose to work alongside Johnny Wore Black on production duties, as did Grammy Award Winner David Bottrill. The fact that such storied veterans of the business believe in the music of Johnny Wore Black goes some way to confirming the potential of this unusually dark artist.

In the words of David Ellefson himself:

"Johnny Wore Black has a very unique sound that I like and as an artist creating a unique sound is one of the hardest things to do, you either have it or you don't and to me Johnny Wore Black definitely has it."
