MEGADETH Drummer Preparing For 'Canadian Carnage' Rehearsals

June 13, 2009

MEGADETH drummer Shawn Drover has issued the following update:

"Tomorrow I pack/leave for rehearsals at Vic's Garage [MEGADETH's recording studio in San Marcos, California for the] Canadian Carnage tour, which is no biggie, really — two weeks total away from home = a fun, quick bunch of shows [with SLAYER, MACHINE HEAD and SUICIDE SILENCE] in my native country in hockey arenas.

"Does this sound like fun to you? It certainly does to me.

"Glad to see the overall positive response to the song clip/studio video from our new record [see below]. With over three months before this record is released, we certainly do not want too much to be revealed at this point, so this short clip will have to suffice for the time being.

"Be happy, when I was young, nobody heard the new VAN HALEN or RUSH song three months before it was released.

"Patience is a virtue, humans."

A six-minute video featuring MEGADETH's British producer Andy "Undie" Sneap (NEVERMORE, ARCH ENEMY, EXODUS) describing the process of mixing the band's new track "Headcrusher" at his studio in Derbyshire, U.K. can be viewed below. 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, set to be released in September via Roadrunner Records.

Other songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Nothing Left To Lose But My Mind", "The Hardest Part of Letting Go... Is Saying Goodbye", "Bite The Hand That Feeds", "1320", "How The Story Ends", "This Day We Fight" and "Endgame".

MEGADETH's forthcoming LP will be the group's first with guitarist Chris Broderick, who replaced Glen Drover at the end of 2007.
