Megadeth Reveal New Album Title

Megadeth has set "Endgame" as the title of its twelfth studio album, tentatively due in September through Roadrunner Records. The CD was recorded at the band's brand new, self-built studio in San Marcos, California — Vic's Garage — which was named after the legendary and iconic Vic Rattlehead character.

"Endgame" is being helmed by Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine and acclaimed British producer Andy Sneap (Exodus, Nevermore, Arch Enemy, Machine Head). Sneap also manned the boards for 2007's "United Abominations". Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Headcrusher", "1,320", "How The Story Ends" and "This Day We Fight!"

According to a press release, "Endgame" "boasts the technicality, ferocity and snarl that's synonymous with Megadeth and Mustaine. It's a violent masterwork that represents Mustaine's best work in nearly two decades. In a musical world dominated by bands that make generic, blanket statements, 'Endgame' finds Mustaine, once again, making informed and substantial lyrical declarations about the state of the world we live in."

Commented Mustaine: "Thematically, I've never been known to be a silent bystander in a world that needs our participation. As more is revealed about our former President's legacy, a little-known yet staggeringly frightening document which was signed into law, named 'Endgame', has been uncovered. The album 'Endgame' is the most energetic music offering I have penned in over a decade and is far more believable than knowing someone signed 'Endgame' — the document — into law. The album is also the perfect 'ass-kicking' music to listen to once you are done reading the aforementioned document!"

In short, it's the Megadeth record that fans of classics like "So Far…So Good…So What?" and "Rust In Peace" have been chomping at the bit for.

"This new album is my proudest moment since the famous (or infamous) 'Rust in Peace' album," Mustaine added. "With this album, I am also very excited to be introducing my new lead guitarist, Chris Broderick, to the world. I have always felt lucky to have had top shredders in that position, but after touring with Chris in support of my last album, I couldn't wait to get into the studio and see what he could do."

A six-minute video featuring Andy Sneap describing the process of mixing Megadeth's new track "Headcrusher" at his studio in Derbyshire, U.K. can be viewed here. The clip, which was previously only available to members of Megadeth's official fan club, MegaFanClub, features around 30-second snippet of the actual "Headcrusher" track which will appear on Megadeth's forthcoming album.

Said Sneap: "It's certainly old-school Megadeth — that's what I like."

Mustaine recently stated about the band's new CD, "It is fast, it is heavy, there is singing, yelling, speaking, and guest voices (maybe not singing — more like in 'Captive Honor'), the soloing is insane." He added, "We have some great song concepts, like 'Nothing Left To Lose' is a song about having been wiped out, like so many Americans, from the recession and potential depression years of 2000, or 'Bite The Hand That Feeds', which is a song about the greed of the fiduciary leaders of the financial world and how they just didn't care about the responsibility they had to the public. There are also songs like '1320', a song about nitro fuel funny cars (something I enjoy), 'How The Story Ends' and 'This Day We Fight', both inspired by warrior creed from the great Sun Tzu with the use of drums and flags in ancient war, and an impassioned plea from Aragorn to his loyal fighters in 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy, respectively. I also have some bizarre songs, like 'Headcrusher', which is about the medieval torture device, and 'Endgame', which is about a bill that ex-President George W. Bush signed into law that gave him the power to put American citizens in concentration camps that are actually called 'detention centers' here in the United States, and a favorite lyric of mine on this record about the North Hollywood bank robbery of 1997 (or 1998)."

Thanks for the report to Blabbermouth.net.

[waysay]

Wow! I can't wait to hear this album. "So far, so good, so what!" And "Rust in piece"Were the best albums in my opinion, I would like to hear more like that.

[Megadeth2011]

Haha yeah!!! So Far, So Good, So What! is my favorite album! lookin forward to this one. ive got good feelings about it.

[AEnima18]

There's a song called Headcrusher? Hmmm I reckon this may well be a heavy album! :P

[Igotyerbooty]

Always good to get new material from Mustaine!

[Detonation]

Ive kinda moved on from Megadeth and been listening to some heavier stuff lol. But i will still go out and give this album a shot. It sounds like it will be interesting and pretty good. Just please dont pull a dam Lars and say its sounds like your best previous album and then we find out its utter crap. XD

[98Timberwolf]

Interesting ideas. Sounds like it will be good!

[TonyIommi2557]

United Abominations let me down, I pray for this to be much better...

[SuicidalFreak]

I can't wait to check out the new shit from Dave Mustaine and company.

[multipleofone]

United Abominations was very meh. If Chris Broderick had any input into the writing process of this album then it should be much better.

[ROCKMAN_A1]

Awesome!can't wait to hear the new album!!!MEGADETH FOREVER! \m/

[Irondave321]

All hail the mighty Megadeth! The clip sounded pretty nice, and the concepts sound perfect, and can't wait to hear what Chris Goddrick can dish out!

[buddyhimself]

I really liked UA and the leak of headcrusher. Endgame sure is a better title than something like "Death Magnetic."

I"M NOT TRYING TO START ANY METALLICA vs MEGADETH THING HERE, just stating an opinion, i like both bands but prefer "Endgame" as a title. Just being clear before any nonsense starts.

[CTFOD]

Dave is the master of song/album titles, but I think this one has a few weak ones, like 'The Hardest Part of Letting Go... in saying Goodbye'. However, that's as much a critiscism as anyone can make until the album is actually released.

Because he has an opinion and Metallica and Megadeth have a very famous rivalry?

[roosterfx1]

sounds like a straight to dvd film title. but should be a cool album

Metallica sucked after 'Ride the Lightning'... and thank GOD they are back with 'Death Magnetic' which is my favorite Metallica record after 'Kill 'Em All' and 'Ride the Lightning'.

[thedoors92]

nice title

[andresbejar]

cool, dave mustaine likes lord of the rings! im buying this album now!

[fr33t0m]

Megadeth!!!!

[napsternova]

Oh Hell Yeah! This sounds like it'll be awesome! So much political crap to write about, Dave should have another 10 songs lined up already. Ha Ha

[St. Fixxxer]

Ok, shut up with 'Tallica. This is about Dave's time to shine. He is done with fighting with James and Lars. There rivalry is resolved. (for them, not the fans) I myself would love to see them both in concert some day.

I am bursting at the seems with excitment for this album. I'm gonna camp outside Wal-Mart for this album.

[im not mental]

i sure hope it's better than united abominations!

[enginehead]

Does any1 remember Dave talking about UA in this way, he's sounding a little too optomistic. i wasn't too fussed on headcrusher tbh, but this album sounds like it cud be really good

[StarChildSammy]

can't wait for the new album.HAIL MEGADETH \m/

Eh..... What about Master? or And Justice for All...?
These are classic thrash albums and Master is similar enough in style to Ride the Lightning. Why dislike them?

[beelaal85]

well i love 2 songs from master: master of puppets and orion & 1 song from justice: one. MOP and AJFA aint that thrashy. btw megadeth's cool.

[BlisteringDDj]

Ain't that thrashy? What the hell, dude... It's some of the best thrash ever.

Anyways, can't wait for this record! DD:: \m/

[TheEsupremacy]

I'm still worried until I hear Endgame. Headcrusher, to me, sounds like a spruced up UA reject song. Am I right?

[JFRules]

This album is gonna kick ya right in the face!

[Metallicam]

I can't wait to hear this. UA was awesome, so I'm confident in this one. I'm going to see them on Friday with Slayer here in Edmonton, hopefully the give me a bunch of new songs!

[MetalManic 666]

Mustaine for president!!!!!

[rhoadsfan92]

AJFA not thrashy? dyers eve? title track? eye of the beholder? blackened? hell, everything!!! except its instrumental...

[rhoadsfan92]

on another note, i also loved UA and will definitely buy this album to make up for buying death magnetic XD

[maidenfan15]

I can't wait for this album! I really hope Dave isn't hyping this album up. But I don't think he is, since I don't think Megadeth has put out a bad album to date(Even Risk had a few great songs, just not as good as Megadeth's other releases). I liked United Abominations a lot for its speed metal influences. I haven't looked forward to an album this much in a long time.

beelaal85 wrote:

MOP and AJFA aint that thrashy.

AJFA isn't thrashy? Are you kidding me? Go listen to Dyers Eve. It's the heaviest song they've ever done. Death Magnetic was okay and had a few gems (Unforgiven III and Judas Kiss), but it couldn't even come close to AJFA or MoP.

[CreepingxDeth]

United Abominations was a terrible album. Mustain needs to stop talking through songs and let it flow naturaly. Like Blessed are the Dead. Like wtf there was no rythem or harmony to his vocals. Hopefully on this album he stops crying lets go of that Call of Ktulu riff and dosent provide back up vocals for himself.

[Lamb of Deth]

RAAAHHH GAAHHH!! met vs mega met vs mega! STFU, enjoy both bands and stop comparing. Damn you guys are just as bad a Nascar fans

[pwrmax]

Haha, during the video the cat jumps on the mixer

I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT!!! MEGADETH!!!

[HavokStrife]

I'm just getting so hyped up to see what Chris Broderick is gunna bring to the table.. I mean, he's pretty much the best guitarist Dave brough on since Friedman..

[Mechanixx]

hope hes changed back to his old-school politics on this, couldnt stand listening to lines like "jihad-joe were coming to get you" on UA.

WAY TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX MUSTAINE!
id bet you loaded the album full of terrible vocals, endless rhythmless songs, too many riff changes, and spider-chords too

I do hope it will be their last album. Personally, I find all this music dull.

[metallica-#1]

Mustaine should try what Hetfield did, start writing about whats inside...

its easy to write about what wrong with the world.. its a lot harder to write about whats wrong with yourself, that why i admire Hetfield more as a lyricist than Mustaine

[Brumak]

I hate to double post, but I just noticed if you go to the front page right at this very moment, Dave is doing the exact same pose as the girl in the picture next to him.

Can't wait for the album, BTW.

beelaal85 wrote:

Did you some how forget about Battery and Damage Inc? If Battery isn't thrash, then I don't know what is. I agree that Ride is better than MOP, but MOP is very good thrash, as is AJFA.

'Tallica aside, I really hope Endgame is better than UA, I hate Dave Mustaine whining so much. More like Rust In Peace and Youthanasia please!

[Jester InFlames]

I think a necrophagist vs [V]egadet]-[

umm, I hate to initiate a megatallica war, but Hetfields lyrics aren´t exactly very complex. I mean his writing is so simple, its practically reminiscent of 80s hair metal.

[CTFOD]

I really hope that this album continues the more modern style of thrash that UA had.

[ChucklesMginty]

This is gonna make me lose the game every time.

Still can't wait, should be epic.

[MasterExploder0]

Can't wait to hear Chris's solos! Oh and I like how UG just leaked a video that was supposed to be for paying fanclub members only.

[tmarkov1]

Oh, please don't start with the "Megadeth vs. Metallica" thing. Megadeth have always had more technical and accurate guitarists than Metallica. Metallica have always been better songwriters. That's the just of it, folks.

death magnetic is a superior name IMO i like both bands but it just is

hetfields lyrics on dm and st. anger came off as extremely whiny to me, while mustaine makes commentary and expresses his opinions about things that effect us. but lets face it neither of 'em are shakespeares

[guitaringnathan]

shakespeares*

[syke5]

you know i think we need to see daves son shred onstage imagine them inging and playing together lol his son would make megadeth II thatd be awesome for next record

[Dimebag Dave]

Meh, I think that's just about an average album name for 'deth.

yay4broderick

[lukeylynch]

Seems people are excited. Nickelback are gonna make a healthy profit off this record.

[FretboardToAsh]

Man this dude's fast, I feel like he's written the songs for the record after that the moment the earlier record comes out.

[russiaininvader]

i can't wait to hear what dave has to say about funny cars i had no idea he was into drag racing, that makes him even cooler

[ProgMetalDT]

Sounds awesome, I want to hear it!

You obviously haven't listened to and understood all the lyrics that he writes then.

To be honest I've for some reason lost my hype for Megadeth's new album :S Still I'll get it when it comes out.

[Guitar_Jester]

This sounds promising.

[!! L.F.D.H !!]

Lets throw this one out, They BOTH SUCK

[!! L.F.D.H !!]

Nah there both awesome for differant reasons.

If either tried to do what the other did then we would just end up having to Metallicas or Megadeths.

[ihavenoname93]

honestly i like new megadeth way more than the old stuff. and im not a huge fan of broderick. so i am saddened

[2mins2midnite]

i heard parts of headcrusher already
it's like a mix between rust in peace album and kick the chair song
quite fast and heavy, and great guitar work
drums are really good too, thats just one song, i cant wait for the full album

it ended up like that because he brought metallica into the conversation for no reason whatsoever.

[zapatista89]

as a metalluica fan, i feel let down by my fellow fans abillity not to refference it every time megadeth are mentioned.

megadeth rocked when i saw them in newcastle, and i look forward to hearing broderick who is possibly one of the only people who deserves to be called the best, obviously you cant say who it is, but he is certainly a credible contender.

Yeah, so I guess songs like A Toute Le Monde and In My Darkest Hour don't count. Dave writes about breakups, suicidal thoughts, depression and angst. He just doesn't dwell on it all day long in every song.

[SuperFlyinMonke]

I hope they play something off Endgame when I see them saturday night on the floor! I look forward to every Megadeth album's conception and release. There's always so much dynamic to their music.

[LazyLatinoRocke]

After hearing UA, and the preview of Headcrusher, I not so hyped about hearing the new album. I just hope it won't bring the same feeling in the music as UA.

[HenneB]

oh man... the old ****ing discussion about megadeth and metallica... every time... i'm pretty tired of this.

[korbhag]

I knew "This day we fight" reminded me of something I heard before!

[Theeman0000]

If people go into this expecting another album in the vein of Rust In Peace or Countdown To Extinction, they will be disappointed, because Megadeth traded thrash intensity for melodic metal a while ago. If people go in hoping for a good album of new style Megadeth, then we'll be a lot happier.

I kind of hope Dave stops bitching about Bush by next album though. That horse is dead now, and he's gotta move on.

[Your41Plague12]

I'm really looking forward to this. If it's anything along the lines of the first two albums, which it sounds like judging by the sound clips, then I'll be a happy guy when I pick this up.

[DIMEBAGLIVEDON]

United Abominations IMO was an abomination so hopefully this is much better.

[d.c.guitar]

This name sucks!

[MetaMegaMagic]

I'm going to buy it if it's going to be as good as Rust in Peace, one of my favorite albums ever.

During 2008 shows Chris played a 7 string. During 2009 shows he's been using a 6 string. I'm guessing he used a 6 string to record the album and that's why he swithed to a 6 sting for live shows but I don't know for sure.

[blueboy14]

why is everyone dissing United Abominations? I thought it was a good album. And this one should kick ass

[Cookie_Dog]

Megadeth is one of my favorite bands, and I can't wait for this album! Listening to Dave's songs always helps me get my frustrations out, and I'm grateful that they're still around

[popeton26]

i love this band

but endgame!!!

i don't know i'm not feeling that album name
but i'm still getting it

[Drhizzlshizzl]

Yes!

either way, I can't wait for this thing to drop.

[hawkdude9]

am i the only one thinking endgame is a little strange of a title? like a farewell title?

I guess I'll give this album a listen, from the way they're talking about, it should be pretty good. Also seeing them with Slayer on Wednesday!!!

Checked. And I didn't have to delete anything.

[POWERMETAL!]

sounds fukcing killer!

[AdamDK]

I'm excited by this. The clip of Headcrusher sounds great I think, kind of like Rust in Peace era Megadeth, in which case if the songs follow on like that it'll be awesome.

Probably because the big 4 are all realeasing albums this year (except death magnetic which came out last year) and he's comparing them on that level

[Rimfrost]

I don´t hope this sounds too much like UA, i fear that they might be growing stagnant, and just remaking thrash album after thrash album without exploring. I hope there is some experimenting with genres on this one, as they used to do in the 90s, and not just a bunch of thrash songs

[cracked666]

Thank you Dave.

Metallica sucked after 'Ride the Lightning'... and thank GOD they are back with 'Death Magnetic' which is my favorite Metallica record after 'Kill 'Em All' and 'Ride the Lightning'.

Hahahaha, ok wait. You do realize they released two albums after ride the lightning, mop and ajfa which the whole rest of the world considers to be thier best. You should give them a listen. Anyways not to take from megadeth. I have always bought thier albums and have been extremely pleased with thier last 3. This one is hyped up pretty darn good and I cant f n wait to buy it.

why is everyone dissing United Abominations? I thought it was a good album. And this one should kick ass

yeah, I though United Abominations was pretty cool too. Not their best, but still the best thing since Cryptic Writings, imo.

either way, I can't wait for this thing to drop.

I thought risk was thier best album, haha, just kidding. I thought the world needs a hero was damn good, the one right after it , system has failed was sweet and ua was a small step forward from that.

Is Broderick going 7-string on this one?

Weren't Andy or James questioning his attack on the E string and got him to use a sixer?

Megadeth has awesome album titles by the way lol, love the themes too

[spug2guitarist]

yes yes yes and with broderick!

and yes, i likes UA

[ieatu]

Endgame actually sounds badass, and with Chris Broderick on helm, it'll be game over. Chris rules!

[MeTaLuPyOuRaRsE]

uh geez the guys at UG were a little slow on this one, I heard this news a few days ago on myspace, they really need to keep up if theyre falling behind myspace...

[HolySmoke]

i look forward to the new album. Dave don't do the whole Metallica "this is gonna be just like (insert album)" thing, just put out an awesome album of new material, don't worry about the past.

[Skillet_Panhead]

I personally liked Peace Sells... More than So Far, So Good... but who cares, this album is going to be fantastic.

[Skillet_Panhead]

one thing I also noticed from that video is that "Headcrusher" slightly resembles Iron Maiden's "Aces High"... lol. Especially the riff that he starts playing when he's demonstrating the mix.

I kept on thinking "I've heard something like this before..." then I remembered that I've been watching Maiden's Flight 666 concert dvd nonstop, haha.

Seriously though, check it out, there IS a slight resemblance there.

[Cranker]

is anyone else sick of hearing about megadeth and metallica? ok, they are both ****ing awesome and deserve respect. stop complaining. if you like one band better than keep it to yourself, no one cares what you think.

thank you

[j-walk]

I grew up listening to both. It simply blows my mind how some people like one band and hate the other.
