June 13, 2009, 15 years ago
A six-minute video featuring MEGADETH producer Andy Sneap (NEVERMORE, ARCH ENEMY) talking about the band's new track 'Headcrusher' at his Backstage Recording Studio in Derbyshire, UK can be viewed below. The video was previously available only to MegaFanClub members and features excerpts from the song.
Says Sneap: "It's certainly old school Megadeth - that's what I like."
Says leader Dave Mustaine in an earlier online posting from today: "I am so stoked to see all of the positive comments about 'Headcrusher', since this was the last song that we wrote on the record. You see Shawn had this song and there were parts that I took out and wrote the rest of the song to, and there you have it. The concept is about the torture device, the most horrific allegedly, and the image is of a person subject to the nauseating results of a 'head crushing.' I noticed a few squeamish schoolgirls have commented on the artwork, and I can only shake my head and be grateful that we appeal to all kinds."
Megadeth's forthcoming album is set to be released in September. The follow-up to 2007's United Abominations will feature 12 songs including 'Headcrusher', 'Nothing Left To Lose', 'Bite The Hand That Feeds', '1'320', 'How The Story Ends', 'This Day We Fight' and 'Endgame'.
