MEGADETH Drummer Says New Song 'Sounds Really Killer'

November 20, 2008

MEGADETH is in the early stages of the songwriting process for the band's new album, which is tentatively expected sometime next year via Roadrunner Records. 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).

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

MEGADETH drummer Shawn Drover has issued the following update via the "Forums" section of the band's official web site:

"As I write this, James [Lomenzo, bass] is in the control room laying down a bass line to a song we have 'just about' completed in demo form, and I have to say the tune sounds really killer. A good mid-paced song with a few curveballs thrown in for good measure. I liked the song from the start and have a good feeling a lot of you [the fans] will like it as well. Drums and guitars are pretty much done for this song, so once James lays down his track, the song will be safely put away until it is time to record the song for the actual record. We have 3-4 other partial songs on tape as well, so I am thinking we will expand on these next. Then again, we might dip into the 21,945,830 other riffs that are in the Pandora's Box of metal riffs and work on them for a while. Believe me, there is a lot of good stuff in there. Andy Sneap has everything sounding awesome as well, and he has barely tweaked anything yet. My drum set sounds fantastic!!! Nice and ambient, just the way I like them to sound. All in all, we are having a good time here at Vic's [Garage, MEGADETH's newly built recording studio]."
