MEGADETH drummer Shawn Drover is fetured in a new interview with Crypt Magazine. An excerpt is available below.

Q: Now, you played on both United Abominations and Endgame, right?

Drover: "That’s right, yeah."

Q: So, how do you feel those two records stack up to each other?

Drover: "You know, all that stuff is subjective, in my opinion, y’know? No two Megadeth records sound the same, if you ask me. I really think United Abominations is a really strong record, and Endgame is a very strong record as well. To me, they’re good solid records, they have a good variety of different kinds of metal on there…certainly Endgame does, that’s for sure. It really covers the spectrum of styles within the metal realm. I’m proud of both records, definitely proud that I played on both of them, I think they’re both great."

Q: No offense, but I think Endgame stomps all over United Abominations, but it seems to me Dave (Mustaine) has his ‘target’ for each record, and for United Abominations it was the UN, and Endgame it’s FEMA. But Endgame just refers to that conspiracy in the song, it doesn’t mean Megadeth’s closing up shop, right?

Drover: "Absolutely not."

Q: I’d hoped not. So do you have plans for the next record yet?

Drover: "Yeah, we’re certainly talking about it. Right now we’re in tour mode, but we’re starting to discuss our game plan for next year, and I envision next year we’ll be recording a new record. So there’s no end in sight as far as we’re concerned. We’re just going to keep rolling, and things are going really well for us right now, and we’re just seizing every opportunity that we can."
