New Megadeth album announced

2015-01-23 by Cryptkeeper | 49 Comments
Following the departures of two members, Megadeth have yet to reveal their new band lineup or whether they even have new members in place. However, that is not stopping the group from moving full speed ahead on a new disc and eyeing a late 2015 album release.

Bassist David Ellefson tells Spotlight Report in a new interview that the idea of an off year is false, and adds that their new disc is "supposed to come out later this year".

While he held tight to keeping the identity of the band’s newest members a secret, he did add: "Most importantly we’re moving forward with writing a new album. Once we get into the studio to record it, then the lineup will naturally evolve around that".

Ellefson also spoke about the exits of Chris Broderick and Shawn Drover last fall, adding: "It is obviously going to be different without them. We spent five years together with them in that lineup. That is a long time. We did multiple live albums with them, two studio albums, we toured together. So it’s a bit like some family members are gone. Especially through the holidays I’ve kinda been a little sad about it. I realize that they wanted to move onto something else and I support them as my friends, but selfishly I’m definitely going to miss them for sure. Things are moving forward of course and there will be a new development happening on that front".

Just prior to Christmas, Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine posted online that fans would be "very happy" to know what’s going on right now with the band. Stay tuned to see how it all plays out.

Awesome, a new record without Drover. He won't be missed... Will be hard to compensate for Broderick though. I'm a bit excited tbh. m/

My friends and I, for jokes sake, really hope Mustaine makes a post-contemporary Christian soft rock album with the Megadeth label, complete with gospel lyrics, shitty children choirs at backing vocals, and a piano.

Instead of glorifying our savior, I can only bet that Dave praises Rick Santorum.

It'd be great to have Marty and nick back, but Marty's living in Japan and nick had a ton of medical and physical issues to deal with, Megadeth also treated him pretty shittily since the late 90s so I doubt we'll be seeing either of them in 'deth again. Marty was partially responsible for their move away from thrash in the 90s anyway so I can't see him opposing super collider type stuff

Maybe a new reshuffling of the lineup is what Dave needs to spark some new energy.

"The singer sucked in his prime! Why is this band still continuing with Mustaine?"

Maybe because he is the founding member and prime songwriter? That's like kicking Buckethead out of Buckethead.

Dave Lombardo on drums and a return to the slightly prog influenced sound of Peace Sells and Rust in Peace sound plz

Dave Lombardo on drums and Bobby Gustafson on guitar. It would be a proverbial 80's thrash super group.

yeah maybe Lombardo could kick Mustaine in the butt and get him to cut all the crappy riffs from the record.

Lombardo on Megadeth would be insane
