A new album from Megadeth is coming and release date of the said record is expected to hit shelves in the early months of 2016.
In a recent report by Revolver, frontman Dave Mustaine talked about the new Megadeth album in an interview and revealed how the group plans on bringing back the thrash metal sound fans were accustomed to from the start.
"There's a lot of riffing going on in there, that's for damn sure," he said. "There's a lot of solos, a lot of pounding drums and bass. I knew from the start that I wanted to go back to my roots, and I wanted to make a thrash record."
He also talked about how he wanted to bring back the original sound of Megadeth into their new album.
"Over the years we've always said, 'We're going back to our roots,'" he said. "But the naysayers, they just want 'Rust In Peace' 20 times, which is never gonna happen."
"Because I've never written the same song twice. Unlike a lot of other rock and metal bands that, you know, they rely on a set formula, I try and make the songs all different."
In addition to the new album reports, the Megadeth singer also talked about how the new line up may have possibly changed their sound, in a Loud Wire report.
Angra guitarist Kiko Loureiro and Lamb of God drummer Chris Adler replaced former members Chris Broderick and Shawn Drover.
"My expectations are so incredibly high that I don't know that we'll ever have one of those shows, but as far as did it make me happy?" Mustaine said, as they work on the new Megadeth album. "I was completely chuffed."
"In no way is this meant to be offensive to Shawn or Chris, but we've definitely upgraded talent wise, personality wise, friendship wise."
