Former MEGADETH Guitarist CHRIS POLAND Is Working On ‘Liar’ Memoir

Former MEGADETH guitarist Chris Poland is working on a memoir with the help of Thom Hazaert, who recently co-authored MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson’s “More Life With Deth”. The book is titled “Liar: Truth, Highs, And Consequences”, and will tentatively be released sometime in 2020, in partnership with Combat Records and Ellefson Books. It will also feature contributions from many others, including Ellefson, Stu Samuelson, Randy Burns, Mark Tremonti, John 5, and many of the other key friends and family that have been part of Chris’s musical journey.

Hazaert commented:
“Yes, I am writing a new memoir with my friend, legendary MEGADETH guitarist Chris Poland, and it is every bit as amazing as you’d think it would be. Also, David Ellefson and I are launching Ellefson Books, which will be the co-publisher of this incredible telling of Chris’s journey.“

Poland was a member of MEGADETH from 1984 to 1987, during which time he performed on the band’s classic albums “Killing Is My Business… And Business Is Good!” and “Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying?” He is also a featured soloist on the group’s 2004 album, “The System Has Failed”.

For the past couple of decades, Poland’s main musical focus has been the fusion band OHM:, which has released three full-length studio albums to date.
