MEGADETH is set to release their final album sometime early next year via Dave Mustaine’s Tradecraft imprint in partnership with Frontiers Label Group’s BLKIIBLK label, will be accompanied by a global farewell tour. To keep things interesting, they released a 30-second snippet of a track called “Tipping Point”.
In a statement to fans at the time of the announcement, Mustaine reflected on the decision to end MEGADETH: “There’s so many musicians that have come to the end of their career, whether accidental or intentional. Most of them don’t get to go out on their own terms on top, and that’s where I’m at in my life right now… The hardest part of all of this is saying goodbye…
“This is also a perfect time for us to tell you that it’s our last studio album. Don’t be mad, don’t be sad, be happy for us all, come celebrate with me these next few years.”
Mustaine said the farewell would be a celebration of the band’s impact: “We started a musical style, we started a revolution, we changed the guitar world and how it’s played, and we changed the world. The bands I played in have influenced the world. I love you all for it. Thank you for everything.”
