Megadeth Preparing To Record Next Album

Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine has revealed in an online posting that acclaimed British producer Andy Sneap (Nevermore, Exodus, Arch Enemy, Machine Head) will fly over to Southern California on September 8 to "tweak some last-minute stuff" at Mustaine's new recording studio before returning again at the end of the month, presumably to helm the recording sessions for the group's new album.

Sneap produced Megadeth's last album, "United Abominations", which came out in May 2007 via Roadrunner Records. Mustaine previously stated about working with Andy, "We'd been working with Jeff Balding, who does a great job. But we knew we needed something else to give the material that extra push, so we brought in Andy. It was cool because he isn't like some big rock-star producer. He was just another Joe to me. So we were trading jokes and laughing and it was fun. My sense of humour is pretty close to a British one, so we worked well together. Also, Andy told me I was the reason that he got into playing metal in the first place, which was really flattering."

Megadeth's forthcoming album will be the group's first with guitarist Chris Broderick (Nevermore, Jag Panzer), who replaced Glen Drover at the end of last year.

Thanks for the report to Blabbermouth.net.

Go Megadeth!

[GunsN'tallica]

Lol loving that pic of dave on the front page

[Whitby_Wizard]

Something else to look forward to!

[Mortalitas]

Sweet, hope its as good or better than United Abmominations

[shadow__666]

Sweet.

[jduke]

Although i liked glen's playing style very much i think Chris will bring some interesting versitility to the band that we have never heard from megadeth. They say he play's like friedman but i don't agree with that. Can't wait for this to come out!!!

[littleleo88]

oh no, not more megadeth. every song sounds exactly the same - not my thing.

Personally, I love every album from megadeth except for Risk and Killing is my Business. This is just more megadeth to look froward to. =)

He's got as much technical ability as Friedman, but their styles are pretty different. Should be interesting to see how this turns out.

Haven't listened to much then, have you?

Also, this is awesome. I loved UA, so hopefully this will be as good.

[Lrn2shrd69]

I'm looking forward to hearing Chris play on the album. I mean if you've actually watched the guy, he has one of the most virtuostic techniques I've seen, including insane finger control (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkpZ645ztl0), has an insane sense of melody and phrasing that ranges from heavy ass metal to jazz and classical and above all seems like a nice guy.

[Retro Rocker]

Good, we'll need something good to balance out the toss that Metallica is apparently about to release.

But the problem with megadeth is that Dave mustaine writes all music and he'll give broderick a couple of bars in each song to solo over. Hence he wont have a big chance to influence the music much. Thats what happened with the last album, which is why it sucked.
Dave should actually allow Broderick to contribute on this one. He is a much better songwriter than mustaine

Fixed. Risk is waaaaay under appreciated.

Can't wait for the new album! DETH TIL DEATH!

ahh lets hope it tops UA. Really looking forward to this.

[ferretman]

Example of brodericks amazing playing and writing
Jag Panzer - Take to the Sky

am also looking forward to seeing what Chris can accomplish, he has a completely different style than previous megadeth member, im hoping he puts something new to the table, but not too extreme

Yeah I know because My Last Words sounds exactly like Dawn Patrol!!!1!!one!!eleven!!onethousandonehundredeleven!

[Waltmeister]

Hope Ellefson joins again. Megadeth is awsome (no matter what), but it's just not the same without him

[kmchipower]

yea...just not the same without ellefson...but honestly...lomenzo is a different but just as good bass player

[kenan6346]

cool looking forward to it

[kmchipower]

axl and mustaine...two of my favorite people...those fiery crazy red heads

lol, like the Van Halen stories where eddie always looks like a strung out meth junkie

[markojuo]

to those who want ellefson back, i dont think Lomenzo is the problem here. the drumming has to be shall we say improved on quite a bit. Shawn Drover is good and all, but he plays too basic, Im hoping he can pull off something a bit more in the Mike Portnoy area this time around

[CrazyPigeon]

If this is as good as UA I will be very pleased. Megadeth haven't made a "bad" album. Risk wasn't great, but it is still better than 99% of the crap music in the world.

Dave does allow the rest of the band to help write songs. For the last album Glen and Shawn didn't help cause they use their stuff for their other band Eidolon. James just doesn't write songs. Dave always let David Ellefson, Marty Freidman and Nick Menza write so I'd say he'll let Chris write some if he wants to.

checked

bringing up metallica will result in a warning from now on if I get to your post first.

[NightEmbers]

This is a Year for Metal!... How many albums have we got already, and our soon to come

Lets take back the world that rightfully belongs to us

[kmchipower]

yup...truly great bands...in my experience...never make "bad" albums...ahem

Chris Broderick is awesome. This should be good.

[Sputnik1]

Chris should definitely bring in some amazing stuff, and Dave will hopefully continue to bring the goods, can't wait!

[AdamDK]

"My sense of humour is close to a British one"- Nice stuff Dave!

[strat07]

I'll hate that album It'll be so technically perfect, so i may not be able to play a single riff

Joking! I can't wait! It'll be ****in' great!

i Agree with the technicality but not the sound. Friedman can be a litle choppy at times. Chris is very smooth compared to friedman(Not saying that its better or worse)

[Metetta]

Another guitarist and another album that fast? Damn.

[Shredx]

I hope chris does great in megadeth and isnt just cast aside quickly and they have yet another line up change

[Flying Afros]

Megadeth always has the top guitarists. Can't wait for this album with Chris. I dont know how it could be better than United Abominations, but if it is, it will be some of their best work. Chris will bring something I think like Marty did in the 90's:uniqueness, and of course amazing skill.

Also, the pic of Dave on the front page=awesomeness.

[BlisteringDDj]

YEEAAAAAH!!!!! HORAAAAH!!!!

This should be good. Dave's got a great track record with me, and Chris Broderick will bring some interesting stuff as well. It was great seeing him live, playing all of marty's solos perfectly.

I believe you just brought up Metarrica. But you hid it.

Anyways, I listened to UA about a million times back to back, and i hope this one is just as good. There's going to be some great albums coming out in the next year!

Plus i can't wait to hear what Chris is gonna do.

[Phill-Rock]

Good stuff - I predict a great album.

[FRDesign]

It is going to be great. Broderick is gonna come up with some amazing riffs and solos. I predict their best album since Rust in Peace.

well this record will show if he does or not... he's been playing drover's leads, not his own, but he is a largely classically influenced player apparently

Wow, it seems all these old classic rock/metal bands are making new albums, Metallica, AC/DC, Led Zep (saw on here yesterday), and now Megadeth..

mmm, those are the worst Megadeth albums imo as well. But UA was a major improvement over those so lets hope this next one works out the same way. Im just keeping a positive attitude towards it, theres no way theyre gonna top the classics like Peace sells, Holy Wars, and Tornado of Souls but im sure they can still do a damn good job, especially with Broderick on board

I'd consider Megadeth and Metallica classics. Even though I doubt there are more that a handful of us on this site that remember seeing Cliff play live in '83.
Am I right? Anyone? Anyone??? I'm so old.

Hahaha, I like your style. But Ihave to say...I kind of agree. They've been around for 25 years bro, that's a long time. Metal wasn't even properly born until just 13 short years before Kill 'Em All was released. Maybe they're not quite "old" yet, but they are classic for sure...thik of it as a term of respect. Haha. Anyway, good for Dave, glad to see he's doing well. I'll have to pick up the album.

I wish. I wish. I was born the year Ride came out...and I didn't discover the blessing of metal until 12 years later...by then Metallica had short hair and jiz on their album covers.

checked.

[SERIALTRENDKILL]

this is unbelievable news. finally, an album we know will be good and could look forward too (besides AC/DC of course). Megadeth is the most under rated band in music history. if you havent heard every megadeth song, your opinion is invalid and irrelevant.

[Betzefer]

This is great, I'm dying to hear some new 'deth, UA was AMAZING IMO

[jetfuel495]

hell yeah man, this shit is gonna be wicked

[synth002]

Thats it Dave, ****ing go for it, tour your ass off write like ****! Make Megadeth have the place in music it deserves!

[killjoys]

so thats y he stopped writing his column for guitar world

[perilouspete]

Chris Broderick will put Megadeth back where they belong. Coolest guy EVER and just a completely insane guitarist. I absolutely cannot wait for this album.

[Dimebag Dave]

Gled Drover sucked. I'm glad they got Chris.

littleleo88 wrote:

Probably because you got one of their songs on repeat! i personally like Megadeth because their songs sound very different to each other. Although it could be said that their style hasn't changed too much from their early days... unlike other bands that started out at around the same time, that are still making music.

[synth002]

Shit man, I totally forgot about Broderick!! Glen Drover wasn't right for megadeth, too many notes not enough phrasing!! Chris is AWSOME LIVE and I can't wait to hear his solo's on the new album and the impact he has on the whole lot!!!

[tallicafan91]

how come people don't like the system has failed??? It's one of my favorite albums!! though IMO the greates are peace sells... and countdown, the system has some great songs lie blackmail the universe and the scorpion!

[southern_stylin]

You guys wanna see haters, check out the comments about Head's new album. Why are Christians so angry at everyone?

[insomniac38]

Dave Mustaine is one of the greatest riffers(and a top-notch lead player) in Metal!!!

I believe we may have another RIP coming.. in terms of kick ass riffage ;]

They're open minded until someone challenges their religion, then it's time to get tossed to the lions.

That means a new tour, am i right?

wooooo!!!!

[SharpObject]

"My sense of humor is pretty close to a British one"

[Piney111]

The best thing that could happen to Megadeth is that they need to get the other Dave, Nick, and Marty back and go ring some more ears like they use to.

[Plugster]

ew megadeth

[Towner_45]

hell yeah!!!

[Multiplayerjon]

HELL YEAHHH!!!! MOTHA LICKA!! lol old gregg

[fiftysteps]

I'm excited for what Broderick will bring to the table for this new album.

[Eternal_One]

Looking forward to this new album more-so than Metallica's. Megadeth's latest album sounds way better than the samples of Metallica's album although it is Metallica's best in a long while.

[Bullet-Rule]

Man, I can't wait. Megadeth for life!

Metallica's new album sounds like its gonna be awesome. just listen to their new single. The day that never comes. I'm looking forward to both their albums

[DroogieSteve]

Am I the only person who thinks that Metallica haven't had an original sounding riff since Master of the puppets? Also, James' voice seems to get more average as each album passes.

I look forward to hearing Megadeth's new stuff greatly, United Abominations was definitely in the right direction and probably their best so far, so this can only be good.

PS. Risk was a true abomination and should not be spoken of.

[scottishmob]

I feel that this album and Death Magnetic are gonna destroy everything else in from the last two years. Well, maybe not, but they are going to bring some metal to the masses. Hell yeah.

Thats cool megadeth is doing this. them being one of my fav bands little more so than metallica. tho megadeth hasnt been as great w/o other Dave. its a shame mustaine wont bring him back.

Megadeth Fuck Ya

[Gmurcielago14]

YES!

[brentondig]

Perrrsonally, I didn't really care for Megadeth's last album, or System Has Failed, really. I wish Megadeth would revive Thrash. That'd be awesome.

Yipee, I love megadeth

Hopefully the new guy will be good, as he has a lot of expectations to live up to.

Anyways, I love 'Deth and can't wait for a new album....I just hope that Broderick doesn't pull off anything too ridiculous from a technical standingpoint (if ya know what I mean). Something like that doesn't fit 'Deth in some ways, despite the fact that their music has always been very guitar solo-oriented...just a personal thing I suppose :P

[what??]

I really can't put into words how excited I am for this next album. I am having visions of another era of Friedmanesque glory. Chris Broderick is a world class guitarist. It cannot be anything but amazing with him and Mustaine. As for the comparison between the Megadeth/Metallica albums, stop that.

How can anyone not compare Megadeth and Metallica? They have a long history with each other and began with very similar guitar styles. As far as I'm concerned, metallica have had 3 good studio albums and Megadeth have had 10.

yeah!
if we didnt compare these two bands
both bands would lose their popularity
they are both popular for this long ancient history about their feuds (and their music)

No, I think his voice is quite bad nowadays. Ok, not bad by anymeans, but it was really alot more interesting and original back in the day.

well i for one like the new voice alot more, I mean when I listen to songs like Ashes in Your Mouth, or Tornado of souls, I see some of the best riffing in metal history, but its weighed down a little by the high pitched vocals, but we'll see how it works out, io at least, UA had the best singing out of all Megadeth albums thus far.

[Metal_Militia15]

Megadeth has some cool stuff, but I saw them live and they seemed so full of themselves...

[51VH50]

I read in an interview that he was done with megadeth. think it was even on this site... he said that he was going to start doing his own solo stuff. oh well, i love megadeth and i am not going to complain.

If this is as good as UA I will be very pleased. Megadeth haven't made a "bad" album. Risk wasn't great, but it is still better than 99% of the crap music in the world.

yeah, when I'm talking about a band's "worst" album I've started saying it's their "weakest" album

[IainDavies_2]

I'm really excited about this album, and this year. Trivium w/ Shogun, Metallica w/ Death Magnetic, Slipknot w/ All Hope Is Gone, Jeff Loomis w/ Zero Phase Order, and now Megadeth.

i think Chris is an amazing player, far better than i am, but i can never really see whether he plays with feel or not, cos his style is very i wont say mechanical but very calculated. seeing him play megadeth solos however shows he does have feel, his vibrato is good, but im still not sure.

glen on the other hand i love his style. he's not the best player on earth but he has feel and a really smooth legato. i always felt the megadeth lead guitarists were more interesting when they had some kind of faults. Marty is one of my fav guitarists but he could use a little tweaking, same with glen. those are my top megadeth guitarists. ill have to wait and see.

[PleaseDie]

Woohoo
Can't wait. =]

[poopdedoop]

Megadeth is going to be sweet with Chris Broderick. He's a freaking monster, and hopefully the new album will have some more diversity in it. I liked United Abominations, but I think Chris will push Dave and the rest of the band to new heights.

[SERIALTRENDKILL]

^^^ lol. I have to address the issue of daves voice since i see people complain about it a lot. Dave didnt want to be the lead singer but he couldnt find someone to do it and time was running out to record KIMB, so he just said **** it. plus dave is a great singer, maybe not "technically" but then again yngwie is technically better than slash but who would you rather listen to? Dave keeps shit interesting, you neer know what he's gonna say or do. that depicts a great lead singer imo, someone who constantly keeps shit interesting. besides, daves voice is a statement against all these pussy lead singers that are out singing and dressing like girls. once you get use to daves voice, there isnt many lead singers i'd rather listen too. dave/megadeth make me thank god i'm a man.

[isabiggles]

This man is not a man, but a god.

I'm pretty sure he can do anything. People, quit moaning about his voice. It's rusty and thrashy and growly. It's everything that thrash metal is meant to be. If you want perfect vocals with no balls then go listen to power metal.

checked

Not gonna lie fellas, wasn't a big fan of Risk and System has Failed kinda disappointed.

I miss Marty.

mmm, those are the worst Megadeth albums imo as well. But UA was a major improvement over those so lets hope this next one works out the same way. Im just keeping a positive attitude towards it, theres no way theyre gonna top the classics like Peace sells, Holy Wars, and Tornado of Souls but im sure they can still do a damn good job, especially with Broderick on board

System was so much better than UA. UA just had no charisma except for Washington is Next and to some extent Sleepwalker and Never Walk alone. It wasn't bad, it's just a hard album to make it all the way through. (that's by Megadeth standards of course, so it's still damn good)

[mlfarrell]

i want to punch him in the face and break his nose... i don't know why.. I just hate his dumb face

[RFer]

United Abominations kickd ass, i hope its as good

[RUSTDOGG666]

yeah can't wait to hear some new megadeth shit.

[Tiepps]

Hell Yeah! Cant wait i worship this band! Hope its better than United Abominations, bring back some old school style Mustaine :P

[King of King V]

geez they just came out with an album...But they like to keep the fans happy...im happy

[Cannibalhell666]

Thats good for them but I like the old Megadeth I hope this album is like old Megadeth.

[zappafanatic]

pancakes are my business and business is good.

man i hope they use chris to his potential, he is a f**cking mad guitarist

Personally, I love every album from megadeth except for Risk and Killing is my Business. This is just more megadeth to look froward to. =)

How do you not like Killing is My Business?!?! its awsome!

+1 its an awesome album! Hopefully not more spoken sections over the songs this time.

[poona]

Sounds exciting. I didn't really like United Abominations THAT much, it was alright, but didn't do much for me. Looking foreward to Chris' input though, sounds like its gonna be killer.

Yeah I'd agree with that, but there's showmanship, and then there is Megadeth. I've been to plenty of shows, but Megadeth (more specifically Dave Mustaine) just had this arrogance about him, I found.

[Patty-cakez]

Making an album with Broderick's probably gunna incorporate some more technical stuff into Megadeth's stuff, while still retaining megadeth's pure thrash metal mentality. I've never had anything bad to say about Megadeth, and i hope this album would leave me with the same jaw-dropping sensation i had when i first stumbled upon Megadeth. Fuckin' love this band.

checked.

[WhyteChocl8]

UA was an awesome album hope it is just as good

[JPetrucci25]

megadeth always snags the best guitarists. friedman, drover and now broderick. you have to be damn good to be put into that elite group. glen drover is my personal favorite of the 3 but broderick should be interesting to see. but one bad thing for guitar players is that nobody will be able to play songs off of the next album cuz they'll be so damn hard

[Gregray88]

Not a big fan of megadeth, but it should be interesting to see what Chris Broderick brings to the table.

[Mackin]

new album, yay !

[appledave]

if the two guitarists were chris broderick and marty friedman id be more interested in this album but im not a big fan of mustaine

[SERIALTRENDKILL]

Megadeth is by far one of the best bands in music history. I am 100% convinced that anyone who dislikes them either 1. has not truly heard megadeth, or 2. Just doesn't have the listening capacity for metal (dislikes metal). If we lived in a world were nobody cared what everyone thought and everyone started listening to music because its talented and they truly love it, and didn't conform to all this crap on the radio and decide to follow everyone else becuase its the cool thing to do and becuase "everyone else is doing it" I think Megadeth would be held at a Zeppelin-esque status. (Zeppelin is my favorite band btw).

[cochi4]

cant wait for this.....
we need an older sound like rust in peace, and i think dave can bring that back to life

[jakehendrixman]

ahahahaha Dave Mustaine is like the Conan O'Brien of Metal!!!

Well, first off, I'd rather listen to Yngwie as far as guitar goes, but I'd imagine Ygnwie is also a better singer, aswell. I've heard him sing and it's pretty good.
Can't wait for this new album.

I hate how people still credit friedman, "uuuh he's such a good guitarist! if only he was still in megadeth" and blah blah blah. Friedman left because he didnt wanna play only metal. FORGET HIM.

[lethaldosage45]

Yeah... Megadeth better stop soon cos the last two albums just sound the same. Dave rips off his own riffs over and over again, and soloing patterns. TIME TO RETIRE BOYS!

[metal890]

Megadeth IS still going strong I loved United Abominations and it's nice to see Megadeth releasing a new album.I can't wait for chinese democracy any longer haha

I sort of agree. Friedman was great, theres no escaping that, but its going to be great to see new styles introduced to Megadeth with the help of Chris Broderick. Would be awesome if the songs had some slight neo classical twists to them, nothing major, nothing... shall we say "genre changing" but something unique. Megadeth Thrash combined with the classics. Dang, the only thing I can think of thats wrong with that combination, is an awesomeness overload of the earth and we all end up dead.
