DAVE MUSTAINE Issues New MEGADETH Album Update

Dave Mustaine has issued an update on Megadeth’s next studio album. The new record will be the band’s follow up to 2022’s The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!

Says Mustaine: “We are almost 90 days into the making of the 17th Megadeth album, currently titled, “Album 17.” That was a difficult choice, doh!

“So, I started working on new Megadeth album with [producer] Chris Rakestraw from Dystopia and our most recent album, The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! Teemu came out to join me right after New Years Eve, and James and Dirk will be here in February.

“We are off to a good start.. A trivia tidbit: I seem to remember that ‘Holy Wars’ and ‘Symphony Of Destruction’ were some of the last songs written on their perspective albums…

“I hope you all are getting ready for Valentine’s Day!”

In other news, The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! poster, signed by Dave Mustaine, is currently available exclusively to Megadeth Cyber Army members.
