Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine is getting into the label business with his bands next studio album, “Super Collider“. That effort is due to be the first offering from Mustaine‘s new label, Tradecraft, which Universal will distribute.
Mustaine had the following to say of the new partnership:
“It was a real thrill for us to learn there was an opportunity to join Universal. It seems like every time you see a great band or music video, it comes from a Universal label. Being with Universal is by far the most exciting and prestigious home for Megadeth ever! We are electrified with what the future holds and the possibilities such a powerhouse like Universal will bring for us all.
We have worked with some great people over the years, and it is amazing to see so many of them on the Universal team for our new record, ‘Super Collider‘.”
Current plans have the album out this June. Meanwhile, it appears that Tradecraft won’t only be the home of future Megadeth releases. On that Mustaine hinted: “If Megadeth being here isn’t satiating enough, having Tradecraft as my own label is going to be really amazing for metal bands around the world.”
