In a Cameo video below, Dave Mustaine has confirmed the name of Megadeth’s upcoming album, The Sick, The Dying And The Dead. The Megadeth leader delivers a birthday wish to a fan named Joe and during the clip he talks about the music playing behind him.

“If you listen real closely, you can hear in the background… Look over my shoulder, there's the ProTools rig with the new album, doing a rough mix. You're getting to hear a little bit of the background of the song 'The Sick, The Dying And The Dead', which is our title track."

Mustaine added: “A busy day today of recording and fixing vocals and finishing up my guitar solos, and got a couple little rhythm things to fix today to and tour preproduction in next couple of weeks.”
