MEGADETH Drummer Is 'Excited' About How New Album Is Turning Out

January 21, 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 message on the band's official web site:

"I leave for the airport in a few hours [to catch a flight back home to Atlanta], to which I am happy to have 100% completed these 12 new songs for the next MEGADETH record. I am really excited on how they turned out, both from a performance and a sonic standpoint, so now I can just spend a few quality weeks at home with my family before we once again head out for the Killing Road.

"I am certain that Chris is chomping at the bit to start his tracks, as is both James [Lomenzo, bass] and Dave [Mustaine, guitar/vocals]. I am sure they will sort out 'who' is next in line to begin their tracks, and I hope they have as much fun as I did. Big kudos to Andy Sneap for calm guidance and tons of laughter during these recordings, and to all who lent a hand in making Vic's Garage what it now is — a very comfortable and beautiful recording facility."
