Thrash Metal pioneers and metal icon MEGADETH will cap a summer of successful global touring with the release of their highly anticipated 16th studio album, The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! via UMe on September 2, 2022. Featuring twelve new tracks, The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! will be released on CD, vinyl, and cassette, as well as digitally through all online partners and can be pre-ordered/pre-saved, HERE. There will also be a limited deluxe edition 2LP, 12-track album pressed on 180g black vinyl housed in a numbered gatefold jacket with a 12×24 lyrics/credits insert, a lenticular vinyl lithograph and a bonus 7-inch featuring “We’ll Be Back” and the unreleased b-side “The Conjuring (Live).” The limited deluxe edition can only be purchased via MEGADETH’s official online store, through Sound of Vinyl, and uDiscover, and can be pre-ordered HERE.

The first song to be released from The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! is the ferocious, quintessentially MEGADETH track “We’ll Be Back,” which is accompanied by the world premiere of We’ll Be Back: Chapter I, an epic, action-packed short film chronicling the origins of MEGADETH’s mascot, Vic Rattlehead. Produced by Dave Mustaine, We’ll Be Back: Chapter I is a soldier’s tale of bravery, personal sacrifice, and the will to survive. It is the first installment of a trilogy of videos to be released in conjunction with the release of the new album The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!.

Why So Blu?

Hell yeah. Dystopia rocks and this should too. Love the artwork.

Love the first single. Posted in the metal thread but I though Dystopia could have fit right in between the classic albums. Art work for this is....interesting but love the title.

I thought Dave had disowned "The Conjuring."

They've been playing it again live recently. Most recently at Hellfest last week.

Damn vinyls are expensive these days.

I like Peace Sells, Rust In Peace and Youthanasia well enough but not anything that I have heard after those. Plus Megadave's persona is less than ideal. I don't hold the same religious or political beliefs as he does and when he puts them in the lyrics such as the tracks on United Abominations it is a turn off. I might stream the new one but I doubt I buy it.

Josh-da-man

I've found that I can discard anything recorded after "Rust in Peace" and not miss anything.

bunkaroo

Nothing says metal like a Walmart exclusive!

Phodg

New Dave Ellefson band. Way heavier than Megadeth ...

It takes awhile before Ice T shows up in the song

gerrythedon

And he just talks for a bit . I wanted a verse or two.

beavis69

Big reservations about what they were going to do with Ice T on vocals (I haven't enjoyed anything he has done in the metal world since the original Body Count album), and he is absolutely unnecessary here, but he doesn't ruin an otherwise second great single.

I opened up my Target order for this CD. The Jewel case on the back is cracked. Definitely would have preferred a digibook instead.

bunkaroo

I was pretty underwhelmed by this. A few good songs but mostly unremarkable riffs and songs. Doesn’t help I’m still a little salty Dirk Verbeuren left Soilwork to waste his talents with Dave.

flansered

I like it, but not as much as I liked Dystopia. I think it's a mid tier album. Not the worst thing they've ever done, but not the best.

GuessWho

I'm amused by "Mission to Mars."

I just wish we had Countdown to Extinction-era Dave on vocals on it.
