Megadeth’s highly anticipated new album “The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead” to be released in spring 2022

Metal giants Megadeth have been steadily working on their new studio album, the follow-up to 2016’s “Dystopia”. The album has been worked on despite adversity, including Dave Mustaine’s throat cancer and David Ellefson’s firing from the band, which meant the bass tracks had to be re-recorded.

Now, according to a recent American Songwriter feature, Megadeth will release their new album ‘The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead’ in spring of 2022, and Mustaine says that although the album title and title track are about the plague, they do not directly refer to the ongoing plague pandemic.

“The song itself was a historical journey of how the plague started and where it went, starting with rats on ships carrying the disease, coming ashore in Sicily”, Mustaine states.

The forthcoming album will be the band’s sixteenth in a row. No further track listing or other information is available yet, but you can expect it very soon.
