The title for the upcoming Megadeth album has been revealed

Megadeth leader Dave Mustaine has confirmed that the title of the band’s upcoming album will be “The Sick, The Dying And The Dead”.

In a video posted to Cameo as a birthday greeting to a fan named Joe the Megadeth frontman says he is outside a recording studio while filming the clip, and makes special note of the music playing behind him.

“If you listen real closely, you can hear in the background… There’s the Pro Tools rig with the new album, doing a rough mix. And you’re getting to hear a little bit of it in the background for your birthday. This is the beginning of the song ‘The Sick, the Dying and the Dead’, which is our title track.”

Mustaine later says he has “a busy day today of recording and fixing vocals and finishing up my guitar solos, and got a couple little rhythm things to fix today too,” before also revealing that Megadeth will be undertaking tour preparation “in the next couple of weeks.”
