Thrash Metal pioneers and metal icon MEGADETH will cap a summer of successful global touring with the release of their highly anticipated 16th studio album, The Sick, The Dying And The Dead! via UMe on September 2, 2022. Featuring twelve new tracks, The Sick, The Dying And The Dead! will be released on CD, vinyl, and cassette, as well as digitally through all online partners and can be pre-ordered/pre-saved, HERE. There will also be a limited deluxe edition 2LP, 12-track album pressed on 180g black vinyl housed in a numbered gatefold jacket with a 1224 lyrics/credits insert, a lenticular vinyl lithograph and a bonus 7-inch featuring Well Be Back and the unreleased b-side The Conjuring (Live). The limited deluxe edition can only be purchased via MEGADETHs official online store, through Sound of Vinyl, and uDiscover, and can be pre-ordered HERE.

The first song to be released from The Sick, The Dying And The Dead! is the ferocious, quintessentially MEGADETH track Well Be Back, which is accompanied by the world premiere of Well Be Back: Chapter I, an epic, action-packed short film chronicling the origins of MEGADETHs mascot, Vic Rattlehead. Produced by Dave Mustaine, Well Be Back: Chapter I is a soldiers tale of bravery, personal sacrifice, and the will to survive. It is the first installment of a trilogy of videos to be released in conjunction with the release of the new album The Sick, The Dying And The Dead!.

The Sick, The Dying And The Dead! consolidates a furious return to form that began with the Grammy winning-Dystopia, while pushing forward musically and marking Mustaines recent triumph over throat cancer. Reuniting visionary MEGADETH leader and sonic architect Dave Mustaine with co-producer Chris Rakestraw (Danzig, Parkway Drive), who together helmed 2016s Dystopia, the album was recorded at Mustaines home studio in Nashville, Tennessee, with guitarist Kiko Loureiro and drummer Dirk Verbeuren. Bassist Steve DiGiorgio temporarily stepped in to record the albumwith the kick off of MEGADETHs recent tour, Megadeth-alumni James LoMenzo rejoined the MEGADETH family as permanent bass player.

For the first time in a long time, everything that we needed on this record is right in its place, Dave Mustaine enthused. I cant wait for the public to get hold of this!

Featuring some of Mustaines strongest songwriting while also incorporating writing from the rest of the band, The Sick, The Dying And The Dead! brings together everything thats exhilarating and distinctive about MEGADETH. From the blistering throwback fury of Night Stalkers (featuring icon Ice-T) and first single Well Be Back, to the more mid-tempo and melodic Soldier On!, and the very personal title track, with its enthralling twists and turns.

The Sick, The Dying And The Dead! melds the ultra-frenetic riffing, fiercely intricate solos, and adventurous spirit the quartet are known for, all laced with signature virtuosity and precision and Mustaines singular sardonic snarl. This album combines all the crushing musical motifs that have made MEGADETH both repeat metal disruptors and revered genre flagbearers.

MEGADETH have recently revealed their roadmap into the web3 space, offering expanded Cyber Army fan club experiences. The first NFT drop will be a generative collection called RATTLEHEADS, pulling from nearly 40 years of iconic Vic Rattlehead themes and imagery.

Im not sure how healthier he is but I saw a video not too long ago where he was sitting in the crowd pre show and sorta disguised handing out guitar picks to young fans. He looked OK but hes also in his 60s so between the age and partying and cancer he may just not be aging as gracefully.

Coming up on almost 3 years of being cancer free.

Megadeth hasn't been relevant since 1990.

The number of 80s thrash icons that went on to be MAGA shitheads is depressing
