MEGADETH - Not The First To Title An Album TH1RT3EN
August 23, 2011, 13 years ago
MEGADETH's thirteenth album, titled TH1RT3EN, will be released November 1st via Roadrunner Records in North America. TH1RT3EN will be released in Japan on October 26th with a bonus track (to be revealed). Release dates for other territories will be announced soon.
The title has several levels of meaning, which frontman Dave Mustaine, who first picked up a guitar at the age of 13, revealed in a recent chat with RollingStone.com, saying, "I was born on September 13th; this is my thirteenth record. It just seemed like it was the right thing to do to call it TH1RT3EN."
However this past February, Italian artist ROBERT MILES released his album, also titled TH1RT3EN, via S:alt Records. The cover art can be seen below:
