Released by UMe on September 2, 2022, MEGADETH’s latest album, The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! solidifies the band’s position as an iconic presence in heavy metal. Following the success of their Grammy®-winning Dystopia in 2016, which soared to #3 on the Billboard Top 200, MEGADETH continues to push boundaries and redefine the genre. The album showcases a raw energy, intense heaviness, and at times supernatural speed, defying expectations for a band with such a rich history. Blending frenzied riffs, intricate guitar solos, and an adventurous essence from their early days with the melodic touch and musicality of the ’90s, The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! is a display of virtuosity and precision, accentuated by Mustaine’s distinctive vocal style and sharp, unapologetic lyrics.
MEGADETH recently completed their European tour in 2023 as part of the Crush The World Tour. As they gear up to bring their legendary music to fans across the United States, MEGADETH continues to write the next thrilling chapter in a career marked by innovation and surprise. Their enduring journey is characterized by resilience, unwavering artistic vision, and a profound passion that has made a lasting impact on the metal scene. Dave Mustaine, reflecting on their legacy, confidently states, ‘I don’t think we’re nearing the end, not even close.’
