In the clip below Megadeth frontman and founder Dave Mustaine chats with Elliot In The Morning about linking up with Lamb Of God's Chris Adler for the band's new album, Dystopia, his own reputation ("there's a terrible lie out there"), the success of Dystopia, his daughter's music career, and more.

Mustaine paid a visit to School Of Rock, the leader in performance-based music education, on February 19th. He gave musical guidance to School Of Rock students, working personally with the future rock stars to help advance their musical skills. Additionally, the artist joined students from School of Rock on stage to perform a few Megadeth tracks, both classic and new.

Check out video from the event below:

On April 8th, Universal Music / Tradecraft / T-Boy Records issued Megadeth’s new album Dystopia as a limited edition vinyl picture disc featuring the album’s vivid dark and chilling artwork which takes the bands long-time mascot Vic Rattlehead to a whole new level and drops him into a bleak, futuristic dystopian universe.

The Dystopia picture disc can be ordered individually at all participating retail and online outlets or at UMv as part of a specially priced pack with other picture disc titles including Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying?, So Far, So Good…So What!, Rust In Peace, Countdown To Extinction and Youthanasia.

Dystopia debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, #1 album on the Hard Music and Top Rock charts. and #2 on the Top Album Sales chart. Globally, Dystopia also achieved top 10 debuts in Canada (#2), Japan (#2 international chart), Finland (#3), Mexico (#4), Czech Republic (#5), Australia (#6), New Zealand (#6), Switzerland (#7), Poland (#8) and Germany (#10), which along with Belgium, Ireland and Spain contributed to achieve Megadeth’s highest ever chart positions in their thirty year history in a total of 10 countries around the world. Other countries with significant sales or chart debuts included UK, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Netherlands, and France. A truly worldwide success, Dystopia outsold the band’s previous album Super Collider (2013) in only 4 weeks.
