Megadeth, the iconic metal band, is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on their upcoming album. Led by Dave Mustaine, the band is working with producer Chris Rakestraw to bring their new music to life. Mustaine recently shared a photo of himself recording vocals, signaling that the album is nearing completion. Rakestraw’s involvement in this project is significant, having previously worked on Megadeth’s albums, including their 2022 release, ‘The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead!’.
This album marks several firsts for Megadeth, including the introduction of new guitarist Teemu Mäntysaari, who joined the band after Kiko Loureiro’s departure in 2023. Additionally, it will be the first album since 2009 to feature bassist James LoMenzo and the band’s debut under the Frontiers Label Group imprint BLKIIBLK. These changes promise a fresh and eventful chapter in Megadeth’s storied career.
Excitement is brewing as Megadeth prepares to hit the road, opening for Disturbed on their European tour commemorating 25 years of ‘The Sickness’. The tour will kick off in Copenhagen, Denmark, on September 28 and traverse several countries before concluding in Glasgow, Scotland, on October 28. Fans can anticipate a powerful lineup and unforgettable performances throughout the tour.
As Megadeth gears up for this new chapter, the band’s loyal fan base eagerly anticipates the release of their latest album. With Mustaine at the helm and a refreshed lineup, the band is poised to deliver a record that encapsulates their signature sound while pushing boundaries and exploring new musical territories.
