Here’s Your First Taste of the Vocals on the New Megadeth Album
Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine has shared a video of himself performing the “last vocal take” on the band’s new album, The Sick, The Dying, and The Dead. It’s not as exciting as that absolute RIPPER of a riff Mustaine shared last week — I don’t think Dave is anyone’s favorite singer — but, hey, it’s still something!
You can watch the video below.
Megadeth have been re-recording the album’s bass parts following the dismissal of David Ellefson earlier this year. The band’s new bassist is rumored to be Steve DiGiorgio (Death, Testament, Obituary, etc.), but that has yet to be confirmed.
Megadeth begin a tour with Lamb of God, Trivium, and Hatebreed (replacing In Flames) in August, so we should know what’s what sooner rather than later.
