Megadeth to start recording new album soon

After the success of Th1rt3en, ace thrashers Megadeth are all set to record their 14th studio album. Frontman Dave Mustaine, who recently had problems with his vocals chords had the following to say on his official website:

“Droogies, I wanted to check in with you as I get ready to start tracking my 14 Megadeth record. For some of you that are new fans; the word ‘Droogie’ may seem a strange way to start a letter, but it means ‘friend’ supposedly in Russian slang. I got the idea to call you that from watching ‘Alex’ from ‘A Clockwork Orange’ call his two co-conspirators that. So, now you know I ain’t calling you ‘druggies.’ Onward to the update.

Last Thursday I went to see an ENT (ear, nose, and throat Doctor), to find out the status of the damage to my vocal chords that they discovered prior to my surgery, and my neck from after the surgery. I was told during the first MRIs that I had a cyst or something on my vocal chords, and I didn’t give it anymore thought, because the fusion was way more important.

I still find it laughable that someone I know said I was a pussy while lying in an ER awaiting spinal surgery for contemplating cancelling the BIG 4 show in NYC. I guess the old saying, “You spot it – you got it!” applies here. Except I don’t want to offend our female fans by comparing this excrement to a body part of theirs. I walked away from the surgery, which was done after the concert (who’s the pussy now?) and was a complete success, thinking I had nodes or polyps or something, and I wanted to wait until a year after the surgery to go get checked, because I just didn’t want to go under the knife again that soon, if of course I had too. Thank God I don’t.

Fortunately, if you can say that, my problem with my vocal chords is treatable, and it is just a matter of exercise, diet, and eating habits. I started drinking Aloe Juice, taking a tablet for my stomach, and I have to cut out some things I like. Coffee is one of things, but since I am not a cheerleader for overpriced – overrated Starbucks, like Thor and Junior, I am not taking this too hard. I am bummed about no chocolate (I love chocolate!), and tomatoes (no spaghetti or pizza), but I am loving this Countdown 20th Anniversary tour, and with the new record starting next week, singing is more important to me than ever.”

This November and December, Megadeth will perform the acclaimed album Countdown To Extinction in its entirety on their US Countdown To Extinction 20th Anniversary Tour.

Dave turned 50 just yesterday and looks better than ever to take on the world with this album, which also marks the return of Junior, bassist and co founder David Ellefson.

Megadeth reveal new album title

Thrash metal God and frontman of Megadeth Dave Mustaine has revealed that their new album will be called 13. In a pre-show interview backstage at the Sonisphere festival in Knebworth, UK, Mustaine said of the new record, “I started playing guitar at 13 and this is our 13th record and I was born on the 13th. As soon as I said I was going to call it 13, I started noticing 13 everywhere.” The CD was recorded at Mustaine’s own California studio, Vic’s Garage, and produced by Johnny K, who’s worked with Machine Head, Disturbed and many other bands. Artist John Lorenzi, who designed the group’s last two releases, United Abominations and Endgame, as well as their Warchest boxed set, will be doing the artwork once again.

This is also the first record since founding member David Ellefson’s return to the band and the first with this line up consisting of Drover, Broderick, Ellefson and Mustaine.

Megadeth- Endgame

New thrash metal to look forward to this 2009! Metal Gods Megadeth are back this year with their newest album ‘Endgame’. The album will be released on September 15th in the rest of the world via Roadrunner Records, and hopefully, not much after that in India.
