Megadeth - Frontman Forms New Band

Megadeth are gearing up to record their as-yet-untitled new album with producer Johnny Karkazis (Machine Head, Disturbed). The album is slated for a fall 2011 release through Roadrunner Records, with drum tracking due to begin next week at Vic's Garage studio in San Marcos, operated by band leader Dave Mustaine. Johnny K replaces Andy Sneap (Nevermore) behind the board, who was forced to pull out due to scheduling conflicts.

Stay tuned for updates on Megadeth's follow-up to 2009's Endgame which debuted on the Billboard 200 at #9!

In other news, Mustaine has launched a new project called Red Lamb with former Anthrax guitarist Dan Spitz, Accept bassist Peter Baltes and Yngwie Malmsteen drummer Patrick Johansson. Most of the music will be taken from Spitz's aborted Deuxmonkey project with ex-Crimson Glory frontman Wade Black, which fell apart when Black quit back in April due to creative differences.

Johnny K is also on board to produce the album.

I agree, judging by the fact Dave likes to be in control of the music writing process mainly by himself, I don't think he will last long in this project. And what's with all the christian bs all you guys talking about? I think it's just a stupid band name without any meaning whatsoever. Loading...
