Bassist David Ellefson (ex-Megadeth) and vocalist Jeff Scott Soto will release “Unbreakable,” their second album as Ellefson-Soto, on Aug. 15, 2025, via Rat Pak Records. Preorder the album here on CD or vinyl.
The duo also has unveiled a music video for the record’s title track.
Ellefson-Soto is joined by Italian guitarist Andy Martongelli and drummer Paolo Caridi. “Unbreakable” features 11 tracks with guest appearances from Tim “Ripper” Owens (KK’s Priest) and Burning Witches frontwoman Laura Guldemond.
“Unbreakable” was recorded at Rogue Studios in Wembley, U.K, by Alessio Garavello and produced by Chris Collier (Mick Mars, Korn, Flat Black).
“This album digs even deeper,” Ellefson said. “It’s heavier, more personal, and shaped by everything we’ve experienced on and off the stage.”
Soto said, “The energy we poured into this one—it’s the sound of two lifetimes colliding in riffs, rage and redemption.”
“One of the things I like most is I feel like you can hear a real sense of brotherhood on our records, that we’re really in the creative process together as a band,” Ellefsons said. “The consistency of our sound has remained intact while allowing us to further build upon each other’s strengths from our debut album. It’s an honest, organic approach that blends well and lets us explore new sounds and musical paths. At the end of the day, I don’t think there is anything that an artist desires more than that!”
