Megadeth guitarist Kiko Loureiro guests on Episode #241 of One On One With Mitch Lafon. Listen below.

“In the show's only interview, Megadeth guitarist Kiko Loureiro discusses his the band's latest album Dystopia, landing the Megadeth gig, his partnership with frontman Dave Mustaine, his past work with the band Angra and the 20th anniversary of their landmark album Holy Land, and much more.”

Megadeth have premiered their video for the new single “Post American World”, along with complete details for the fall dates for the North American leg of their Dystopia World Tour. The tour kicks off in Casper, WY on September 20th and will take them across the US, visiting 16 states with special guests to include Amon Amarth, Suicidal Tendencies, Metal Church and Havok.

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, July 22nd – check here for specific market info and local on sale times and dates. There will also be an exclusive pre-sale for Megadeth fan club members. Pre-sale tickets for Megadeth Cyber Army club members are on sale now at cyberarmy.megadeth.com.

Meanwhile, the current single “Post American World” takes an unflinching and timely look at the state of the modern world, and the dark vision of the Jake Macpherson-directed video takes the subject matter in still more menacing directions. Most other artists are unwilling to tread in this territory, preferring veiled metaphors, or more often, completely ignoring the most important topics of our day. But with their current album Dystopia, Megadeth refused to compromise their craft and identity, and as such have again set the pace for modern metal.

Dave Mustaine comments: “The filming of Post American World was an eerie video shoot right from the beginning. Shot in just one day with only our guitars and drums, I knew that this was going to be amazing. There is something to be said about the simplicity of an artist and only his guitar or drums. This is clearly a “less is more" concept and director Jake Macpherson nailed it!“
