The metal titans MEGADETH have released the LP’s latest single, “Puppet Parade”. It marks the fourth single from MEGADETH’s upcoming self-titled album, due on January 23, 2026. The follow-up to “The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!” will be released via MEGADETH leader Dave Mustaine’s Tradecraft imprint on Frontiers Label Group’s new BLKIIBLK label.

“Puppet Parade” shows MEGADETH’s classic fast riffs and tight rhythms, but it also sounds darker and more reflective than some of their earlier songs. 

“Megadeth” track listing:

01. Tipping Point
02. I Don’t Care
03. Hey, God?!
04. Let There Be Shred
05. Puppet Parade
06. Another Bad Day
07. Made To Kill
08. Obey The Call
09. I Am War
10. The Last Note
11. Ride The Lightning (METALLICA song; bonus track)

MEGADETH recently kicked off their farewell touring cycle in support of that album, with plans for the trek to run some 3 to 5 years before Dave Mustaine and co. officially hang it up for good. That decision was made in part due to Mustaine‘s struggles with Dupuytren’s contracture — a progressive condition that hampers the mobility of his fingers and hands.
