MEGADETH's SHAWN DROVER: Drum And Bass Tracks For New Album Are Completed

May 6, 2006

MEGADETH drummer Shawn Drover has posted the following message in the "Forums" section of the band's official web site:

"I am now back home from Sarm/Hook End studio — I had a great time while recording in Oxfordshire, England, and I would like to thank Trever Horn and the entire staff at Hook End Manor for totally taking care of us and making us feel so confortable and welcome!!

"At this point I will reveal that all drum and bass tracks are completed for the new MEGADETH record, as well as Glen [Drover] finishing up four guitar tracks. The rest of the record will be recorded at a different location. We are in very good shape at this point of the game.

"Yesterday I reached the dreaded age of 40, which to many is some sort of milestone in their life — to me, it was just 1 more year past. I certainly dont feel any different, but I did get that kick ass Callaway Golf bag that I wanted. My sister-in-law did pollute my entire yard with 'turning 40' novelties at 4AM, much to my total dismay and embarrassment. I have to admit though, she certainly was dedicated... ( by the way, she is 46!!!!)"

MEGADETH's last CD, "The System Has Failed", has sold more than 175,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The group, who were most recently signed to Sanctuary Records, were joined by bassist James Lomenzo (ex-BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, WHITE LION) in February following the departure of James MacDonough (ex-ICED EARTH).
