MEGADETH Drummer Checks In From NAMM

January 17, 2009

On January 7, MEGADETH commenced the recording process for its twelfth studio album at the band's own Vic's Garage studio in San Marcos, California. The CD is once again being helmed by acclaimed British producer Andy "Undie" Sneap, who produced MEGADETH's last album, "United Abominations" (May 2007, Roadrunner Records).

Tentatively due later this year 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.

MEGADETH drummer Shawn Drover has posted the following update on the band's official web site:

"NAMM [National Association Of Music Merchants trade show in Anaheim, California] thus far has been a fun experience for me, though certainly the toughest thing is trying to hook up with everybody you want to see.

"For those of you who have not been to NAMM, imagine 20 super Target stores put together with four million musical vendors, and 397 million people inside. Needless to say, it is a difficult task trying to find all of your friends (oh ya, and most people's cell phones lose signal at various points — ack!!). With all that said, it is still a fun hang.

"I have a few signings today and I will try to hook up with those I could not yesterday. Wish me luck on that one.

"All things are going smoothly in MEGA-land with the new record. I have completed my drum tracks, but I will be back at the studio on Monday for rehearsals and any last-minute drum tweaks that may occur, then I fly home on Tuesday to spend a few quality weeks with my family before we head off on the Killing Road with JUDAS PRIEST and TESTAMENT. You know that is going to rule..."
