Canadian guitarist Glen Drover (MEGADETH, KING DIAMOND) has collaborated with American singer Todd La Torre (QUEENSRCHE, CRIMSON GLORY) on a song called "Discordia". The single will be available for digital download by the end of the week. Says Drover: "We are both very happy and proud of how this song turned out, and believe me, I'm EXTREMELY picky of anything I do!"A 50-second snippet of "Discordia" is available below.Asked if his desire to spend time more time with his family was the reason he left MEGADETH in 2007, Drover told the "Metal Attack MTL" radio show: "No, not necessarily. I mean, it was part of that, but there was a lot of turmoil going on in the band while I was there, and it wasn't as much fun. See, the first couple of years in MEGADETH, it was a lot of fun it was a very healthy atmosphere but towards the end it wasn't, and I think that kind of magnified the fact that I didn't wanna be a part of that kind of destructive kind of atmosphere, and I wanted to be at home with my family and then stage the next plan of attack for the next project, whatever that may be."Drover was replaced in MEGADETH by Chris Broderick, who has previously played with NEVERMORE and JAG PANZER.Glen's debut solo album, "Metalusion", was released in April 2011 via Magna Carta Records.Todd La Torre quit CRIMSON GLORY in February 2013, explaining in a statement that "the main reason for my resignation from CRIMSON GLORY is primarily due to its inertia status."La Torre, who joined QUEENSRCHE in June 2012 as the replacement for Geoff Tate, became an official member of CRIMSON GLORY in April 2010 and played a number of shows with the band during the ensuing three years.La Torre's first studio album with QUEENSRCHE, last year's self-titled effort, sold around 13,500 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 23 on The Billboard 200 chart. The record arrived in stores on June 25, 2013 via Century Media Records.
