Dystopia.
The album has been in the works for years now and the band has endured some hindrances along the way Mustaine s mid-2019 throat cancer diagnosis (he s currently cancer-free) and the coronavirus pandemic being the two primary obstacles.
Still, work has continued on the new record, which may be Megadeth s first to ever utilize the blast beat drum technique as drummer Dirk Verbeuren looks to leave his mark on his first recording with the thrash legends. That much, at least, was revealed in a 2018 clip.
Now, Mustaine is putting his voice to the new music in the studio, as seen in an Instagram photo (seen below) shared by the frontman s son, Justis. He wrote, Vocals are being laid down and they sound KILLER! Quiet while recording please. #MEGADETH.
