Megadeth shoot for July release date for new album “The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!”

Thrash metal legends Megadeth have a tentative new release date in mind for their sixteenth studio album, “The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!“. Vocalist/guitarist Dave Mustaine recently told Loudwire that the band are now plotting for a July 8th release date for the outing, after having already been met with several delays. He said of that:

I’m sure it could possibly be scooted forward a little bit, but I think that would actually be worse than if it stayed where it was at. We need every little bit of time to let people get everything all set up with all this COVID shit. It’s been really difficult to ship anything, let alone records.
