Megadeth Preparing To Record a New Album Following Dave Mustaine’s Cancer-Free Diagnosis

LA-based metal icons Megadeth will be returning to the studio. According to The PRP, the metal legends are set to begin the process of recording their 16th studio album following the news that frontman/lead guitarist Dave Mustaine is good to go following his treatments and recovery period for a squamous cell carcinoma on the base of his tongue.

While Mustaine received successful treatment for his diagnosis, the band had to cancel several shows and appearances due to Mustaine’s treatment plan. However, the band was quick to prepare for life following the frontman’s treatment, as they already had scheduled tour dates this year, and expressed their interests in recording a new album.

Megadeth played their first live show since Mustaine’s diagnosis on January 20th in Helsinki, Finland.  Additionally, Megadeth and Lamb of God announced massive joint tour together, including a show at the BB&T Pavilion in Camden, New Jersey.

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
