Kings of Thrash, featuring former Megadeth members David Ellefson and Jeff Young, have shared their first original song.

The track is titled "Bridges Burned," and is built around a riff that Young had originally written in 1988 to be used for Megadeth's next album, which would become 1990's Rust in Peace. However, Young never got to use it, as he was replaced by Marty Friedman before Rust in Peace was recorded.

Kings of Thrash posted footage of the live debut of "Bridges Burned" on their YouTube channel.

You can also catch Kings of Thrash on their current U.S. tour, during which they're playing the Megadeth albums Killing Is My Business...and Business Is Good! and So Far, So Good...So What! 

Megadeth, meanwhile, released their latest album, The Sick, the Dying...and the Dead!, last September.
