Megadeth-United Abominations

Finally the day approaches when the unglorified gods of heavymetal MEGADETH release their next album....May 15 is the fateful day when Mustaine unleashes his mind numbing solos upon this world.

Well some may say;
"Ya right....that jackass of a Mustaine may come up with something as unmetal as pop as filthy as RISK"
Think again;

Mustaine confirmed in a recent press conference that Megadeth are going old school.

"O, yes the May 8th date is finally confirmed now that the mix is nearly done. I hate saying when release dates are, because sometimes they change, and you have to deal with naysayers who behave like the ultimate inch of colon, but I would rather this record was finished to my standards, and above (which it is . . . about time, I know) then put out a soft record.Metal needs a really good oldschool record again. I believe I have delivered. It ain't RIP2, but it could be the record that makes me forget about everything in-between" As told in an official press release.

Some may even go to extent to say that it’s just a stint to get better of Metallica who after their disastrous album (St. Anger) claim to be going old school with their unnamed new album which is expected early this year.
As told by drummer Lars Ulrich "James (Hetfield) and I are sorting through our cds of riffs to put together stuff as we did back in the days. The new stuff is much more organic, more old school. It certainly doesn't feel like St. Anger Part two! St. Anger was fun but we don’t need to make it again".{courtesy rave magazine}

It’s just a matter of time before we know who gets the better of the other this time around.......
As said by Mustaine"Every thing you guys(Metallica) do, touch turn to gold and everything I do fuckin' backfires and I’m sure there are lots of people who would consider my backfire complete success, and I happen to be band number two..NO!"

{As told to Ulrich }

Let’s hope for the best of thrash metal and that we get the best of both for some kick ass music.....

Now back to the album.......[1]United Abominations is the title of their 11th studio album. The album art features a new incarnation of Vic Rattlehead chosen from a deviantart contest, the entry which finished in 11th place.The album title is a play on United Nations and the album cover features the United Nations building being destroyed. It is possible to see the album cover as a reference to the” Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?” cover, which depicts the United Nations building after a nuclear war.The album was scheduled for release on October 31, 2006. In August 2006, frontman Dave Mustaine recently told Billboard.com that the album has been pushed back to early 2007. "We're putting the finishing touches on it," Mustaine told Billboard.com. "We've got a little more work before it's finished, but it should be out some time next year." It was later confirmed for May 8, 20[1].
