Megadeth (Official Thread)

[Tray73]

Been getting back into Megadeth of late, was a big fan back in the late eighties and had their first three albums, then I just kind of drifted off to less thrashy bands. Slowly building up my collection of Megadeth albums, Rust in Peace is apparently winging its way to me in the post (thanks Sox ) and I already have Youthanasia, Countdown To Extinction, United Abominations and Endgame. No longer have their first three as I only had them on casette tape & I outed all my tapes a few years ago, but will replace them on CD.

Never heard Risk, but I see there is the full album on Youtube so I'm going to give it a listen

Risk is one that may take you by surprise in terms of the sound but at least its called Risk, tells you what it is which I respect Dave for naming it that.

Looking forward to hearing it, although from what I've been reading about it having "dance, electronica, and disco influences" not sure what I'm going to think

A new Megadeth coming!!

From their website:

Megadeth has set "Super Collider" as the title of its new album, due this June via Dave Mustaine's new label, Tradecraft, which is distributed by Universal. "It was a real thrill for us to learn there was an opportunity to join Universal," said Mustaine. "It seems like every time you see a great band or music video, it comes from the Universal label. Being with Universal is by far the most exciting and prestigious home for Megadeth ever! We are electrified with what the future holds and the possibilities such a powerhouse like Universal will bring for us all. We have worked with some great people over the years, and it is amazing to see so many of them on the Universal team for our new record, "Super Collider".

Well I gave 'Risk' a listen and I have to say I liked it! Sure it's different and not the Megadeth everybody knows but I think there's some great tracks on there, and I particularly like the ones with the violin, like Insomnia

Glad you liked it. When one looks at it as purely an experiment and doesn't expect thrash its actually a pretty good album. Very disco sounding but cool.
Ill Be There is a pretty cool tune.

Yep, agreed

Oh and Rust In Peace came through the post today so I'll be giving that a listen in a bit

Nice, enjoy Rust in Peace.

If you hadn't already try out Cryptic Writings as well.

Holy shit. This new song sample sounds fantastic and heavy.
