Megadeth‘s long-awaited new studio album, “The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead” is no longer slated for a spring release. According to a new interview with the band’s frontman/guitarist Dave Mustaine, the sixteenth full-length effort from the thrash metal legends will be out sometime this summer.
Speaking of that to Forbes, Mustaine offered:
“…I know that our actual official record release date had gotten moved back again with all of the distribution stuff, and all of these issues with getting product from one place to the next with record plants making vinyl. We’re not reliant on vinyl so much but just the whole process has been delayed, so it’s just gotten moved back again. We’re going to be doing, I believe at the time I’m not sure, but I believe at the time when the record comes out this summer we’ll be on a tour that we’re going to be announcing, but I can’t really get into that right now because I don’t know for sure the dates.”
The aforementioned interview finds Mustaine and Lamb Of God vocalist Randy Blythe giving a joint interview about their upcoming run together as part of the 2022 ‘Metal Tour Of The Year‘. Both bands will co-headline that trek, while Trivium and In Flames are set to open.
