MEGADETH's MUSTAINE Warns Interviewers Against Asking 'Antagonistic' Questions

May 28, 2009

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

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

In a brand new posting on the band's official forum, MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine writes, "Wow, the last week has just slipped right past me and here we are getting ready to start mixing, mastering (no worries here),and sequencing the record. We have all of the 12 songs done and ready to be revealed soon.

"I am also going to start doing interviews for the new record and, of course, the upcoming MEGADETH and SLAYER dates in Canada. Let me assure you, though, the interviews may be really short, because if I get asked anything antagonistic or I am told, 'Someone said this and someone said that,' it will be over. I don't care.

"I am honestly looking forward to these dates, and hopefully more than just breaking the ice and doing four concerts with some old friends."

SLAYER and MEGADETH — two of the bands that defined the thrash/metal genre — will perform together for the first time in more than 15 years when they co-headline four shows in Canada in late June. The tour, dubbed "Canadian Carnage", will also feature MACHINE HEAD and SUICIDE SILENCE, and will see MEGADETH and SLAYER each closing two of the four shows.

The dates are as follows:

June 24 - GM Place, Vancouver, BC
June 26 - Rexall, Edmonton, AB
June 27 - Saddledome, Calgary, AB
June 29 - MTS Centre, Winnipeg, MB
