Megadeth leader Dave Mustaine will drive the pace car for the Sprint Cup Cheez-It 355 at Watkins Glen International (WGI) in Watkins Glen, New York this Sunday, August 9th.

Says Mustaine: “See you at NASCAR this weekend at Watkins Glen International. I'll be leading the field in the Pace Car with nothing but race cars behind me!”

Mustaine took part in a special online chat at the Megadeth Cyber Army chat room on July 27th. During the chat, he revealed the tracklisting for the band’s upcoming 15th studio album.

Tentatively due in late-2015 or early-2016, the yet-to-be-titled album was produced by Mustaine and Toby Wright (Alice In Chains, Korn). Tracks on the release will include:

“Death From Within”
“Fatal Illusion”
“Conquer... Or Die!”
“Lying In State”
“Me Hate You”
“The Emperor's New Clothes”
“Dystopia”
“Bullet To The Brain”
“Last Dying Wish”
“Post American World”
“Look Who's Talking”
“The Threat Is Real”
“Poisonous Shadows”
“Melt The Ice Away” (Budgie cover)
“Foreign Policy” (Fear cover)

Megadeth recently confirmed producer Josh Wilbur (Lamb Of God, Gojira) as the man behind the mixing board for the new album. On July 24th Mustaine posted the following update on Twitter:

Megadeth hit the stage with their new line-up for the first time at the Festival D'été De Québec in Quebec City on July 18th, featuring mainstays Dave Mustaine (vocals, guitars) and David Ellefson (bass), and now including Kiko Loureiro (guitars/Angra) and Chris Alder (drums/Lamb Of God).

Nova Film has produced a two minute video overview of Megadeth's appearance:

Megadeth and Lamb Of God are joining forces for a full UK & Eire co-headline tour in November 2015. The tour will coincide with the release, later this year, of Megadeth’s 15th studio album through Tradecraft / Universal. Lamb of God’s new album VII: Sturm und Drang was released July 24th via Epic Records in North America and Nuclear Blast Entertainment throughout the rest of the world. Check out a new tour trailer video, streaming below.

Dave Mustaine says: “Having just finished an amazing record full of high-energy heavy metal with Chris Adler, Kiko Loureiro and David Ellefson, I am excited to announce this tour and see all of the metal fans come out for this one. I literally can’t wait to hit the stage again!”

Mark Morton from Lamb Of God adds: “I have to say that it’s definitely exciting to be announcing this one! I’m more than pleased to let the world know that Lamb Of God will be sharing the bill with thrash metal legends, Megadeth, for five shows in the UK and Ireland, from November 9th-15th! It’s been almost a decade since we’ve had the opportunity to tour with Megadeth, and we’re absolutely thrilled to be teaming up with them once again for these very special UK dates. Also appearing will be our good friends and long time co-conspirators Children Of Bodom and Sylosis. This lineup is unstoppable! If you’re not stoked about this bill, then you very simply do not like heavy metal! Take a plane, take a boat, hitch a ride, take the tube, bring your Wellies…see you there!”
