MEGADETH Drummer Calls 'Priest Feast' Tour A 'Career Highlight'

March 21, 2009

MEGADETH drummer Shawn Drover has issued the following update from the "Priest Feast" European tour, also featuring JUDAS PRIEST and TESTAMENT:

"I have been reflecting on this current 'Priest Feast' European tour, and, in all honesty, speaking for myself, this has been a career highlight for me on so many different levels. We all get along so well on this tour — bands, crews, right down to the awesome catering, it has just been a very smooth tour for me. In my fifth year in [MEGADETH], at this point I have really seen and done alot of great things, though I constantly remind myself how lucky I am to be able to do what I was put on this planet to do and not get jaded about it or take it for granted. The way the economy has been and knowing that old friends of mine are struggling in their respective fields, it does put things in perspective, believe me.

"Three shows remain on this tour, and I will make the most of it. That I can assure you."

Fan-filmed video footage of MEGADETH's March 19, 2009 concert in Barcelona, Spain as part of the "Priest Feast" tour with JUDAS PRIEST and TESTAMENT can be viewed below.

Tentatively due on September 1 via Roadrunner Records, MEGADETH's forthcoming LP will be the group's first with guitarist Chris Broderick, who replaced Glen Drover at the end of 2007.

The recording process for MEGADETH's twelfth studio album began on January 7 at the band's own Vic's Garage studio in San Marcos, California.

The CD is once again being helmed by British producer Andy "Undie" Sneap (ARCH ENEMY, NEVERMORE, EXODUS, MACHINE HEAD),who worked with MEGADETH on the band's last album, "United Abominations", which came out in May 2007 via Roadrunner.
