Megadeth is ready to launch their closing, self-titled album on January 23, 2026 and it appears there’s going to be a little bit of a shock on there.
Let’s begin again in June with a recently-resurfaced quote from Dave Mustaine in an interview with Stjernepose, as posted by Loudwire: “We’ve got 13 new songs for the brand new album… One of many songs is a canopy track however I truly wrote it, so it is type of like a canopy, type of like my track. Then there’s two additional songs for when the document’s been out for some time simply to maintain everyone excited.”
“One of many songs is a canopy track however I truly wrote it.” Alright, so there are three choices based mostly on that quote:
- Mustaine re-recorded a Megadeth track, which appears unlikely given Mustaine typically “remixes” albums closely sufficient to the place they are often categorised as re-recordings. Attainable? Certain. Probably? I am guessing not.
- Mustaine re-recorded an MD.45 track. I am additionally guessing this is not the case, seeing as Mustaine barely ever acknowledges MD. 45.
- Mustaine re-recorded a Metallica track, which I am guessing is the case. Mustaine has lengthy felt that he does not get sufficient credit score for his work in Metallica – a lot in order that it tanked the No Life ‘Til Leather reissue, which Mustaine thought about re-recording. Mustaine has additionally said that he feels Metallica is coasting off his music.
It additionally appears protected to imagine that regardless of the cowl is, is a bonus monitor. Megadeth has been revealing the tracklisting to their final record currently on Instagram and that final monitor would possibly say “Journey The Lightning”? It hasn’t been revealed but, however try the beneath screenshot and see what you assume. That might be fucking wild.
