What are you listening to?

Here's an obscure band called Eidolon. I believe they released 4 albums or so, but never toured.


The two core members, however, are brothers Shawn and Glen Drover, on drums and guitar respectively, and they went on to join Megadeth in 2004 upon the band's reactivation. In fact, their involvement in Megadeth effectively disbanded Eidolon. Glen recorded 2006's United Abominations with the band and left the band in 2008 (citing a desire to spend more time with family), while Shawn broke Nick Menza's record for longest serving drummer in Megadeth history, recording on United Abominations, Endgame, 13 (which was original bassist and co-founder David Ellefson's first album with Megadeth since the band's 2002-2004 hiatus), and Super Collider before leaving the band with Glen's replacement Chris Broderick the day before Thanksgiving last year. Broderick was replaced by now-former Angra guitarist Kiko Loureiro, while Shawn Drover was replaced by Chris Adler of Lamb of God fame.

Yes, the Tommy Lee that plays guitar and sings on this song is the exact same Tommy Lee who plays drums for Motley Crue and whose ex-wives include the likes of Heather Locklear and Pamela Anderson.
