MEGADETH Mainman Working On 'Arsenal' Artwork

October 28, 2005

MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has posted the following message in the "Forums" section of the band's official web site:

"I am going to start on the artwork for 'The Arsenal of Megadeth' tomorrow with our wonderful friend and creator of so much MEGADETH artwork in the past, Acryl! Also known as Michael Müller, I met Acryl many years ago, and he is a top-rated artist, as well as a singer in a metal band now.

"This is one of the last bits for 'Arsenal' before we wrap this project up and get it ready for release.

"I have loads more to tell ya, but nothing is set in stone yet, so I will just have to wait.

"Crush or be crushed!"

To be released before the end of the year, "Arsenal Of Megadeth" is a new MEGADETH career anthology, including videos, live performances, interviews and Dave Mustaine's home movies of the band on the road.

Mustaine announced at the conclusion of the band's headlining performance in Buenos Aires, Argentina on October 9 that the group's current lineup — which includes MacDonough, drummer Shawn Drover (EIDOLON) and guitarist Glen Drover (EIDOLON) — will continue to record and tour under the name MEGADETH.

MEGADETH recently completed a South American tour in support of "The System Has Failed", which came out in September 2004. The latest MEGADETH release, "Greatest Hits: Back to the Start" (Capitol),entered the Billboard chart at No. 65 and has sold 102,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
