Former Scar The Martyr vocalist Henry Derek Bonner has joined the yet-unnamed new band featuring former Megadeth guitarist Chris Broderick and drummer Shawn Drover. Bonner parted ways in Scar The Martyr in April 2014 after recording one record.

Broderick appeared on SiriusXM’s Jose Mangin on Wednesday, December 17, 2014’s edition of Liquid Metal’s “666-LIVE” call-in show, and spoke about the new band:

“Through talking with Shawn Drover, we’ve talked about how we had all this material that was never gonna get released, all these killer, heavy riffs that we had written and stuff, and so we just decided, ‘Hey, why don’t we put the stuff out? Why don’t we form a band and get out these killer riffs, just to see what people think?’ So we formed a band, we’re working with a killer singer — he’s awesome — and we’ve got record labels that have made some good offers on the table, and we’re really excited about where that’s gonna go.”

Broderick spoke about the name of the new band:

“Here’s the funny thing: we have many names. But the problem today is that there are so many bands out there that the first thing we’ve gotta do is run them by trademark and make sure that we can get… We don’t wanna run into the ‘GHOST’ and the ‘GHOST B.C.’ issue, right?! So we’re looking into trademarks on the names, and I would love to tell you, but we wanna save some of it for our official press release, and we’ll talk about the singer then, and we’ll have the record label on board by then.”

About whether the musical ideas used in the new band were originally presented to Megadeth:

“Some of them were presented, but then some of them also… I’d be, like, ‘Oh, this isn’t appropriate for MEGADETH, their sound.’ I have a tendency to write very complex stuff, and so I’ve gotta watch it when I write and submit for MEGADETH under that kind of… I wanna make sure it’s not too complex and too crazy and all over the place. So those are the things that I would have held back.”
