On Friday, thrash metal legends Megadeth announced that their new album, due to release in November of this year, will be titled "Th1rt3en". The album was recorded in frontman Dave Mustaine's studio in San Marcos, CA during a busy year of touring and recording that saw the band produce songs for two different video games in addition to the tracks that will appear on "Th1rt3en".
On Friday (July 8th), Mustaine talked about the album's title with Tom Russel of Rock Radio backstage at the Sonisphere Festival in Knebworth, UK. Asked about the origins of the title, Mustaine said: "I started playing guitar at 13 and this is our 13th record and I was born on the 13th. As soon as I said I was going to call it 'Th1rt3en', I started noticing 13 everywhere. They never used to have 13th floors in hotels but now they have them again."
The album will see the band moving in a new direction musically, according to Megadeth members. Bassist David Ellefson recently told Expressen TV what he thinks fans can expect from the new record: "Let's put it this way: It's funny that 20 years ago, we came off 'Rust In Peace' and we went in and made 'Countdown To Extinction'. So, to me, that's kind of what this album feels like. We did 'Sudden Death' [for 'Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock'] and then this new song, 'Never Dead', which is a very violent riff. That was the first song we did, and we finished it top to bottom because we had to get it into this video game called 'NeverDead'. So that's a pretty good indication of what the new record is gonna be. But it's a little wider than... That's why I liken it to probably a little more to 'Countdown To Extinction', 'cause there's a couple of songs that aren't just full-on, in-your-face thrashing. However, most of it is. So you guys are gonna be excited. You'll like it. You'll dig it. You'll have fun
[listening to it]."
Mustaine describes the sound of "Th1rt3en" to be "different, a hundred percent different, unlike anything we've ever done before because the guitar sounds are different; it sounds really super-modern... If I was going to say it sounds like a particular band, I would say it sounds like really old classic Sabbath and with a little bit of a modern edge of Queens Of The Stone Age kind of thing. But then again, with the twists and turns of music that Megadeth has been famous for over the years, you never know how it'll turn out."
Megadeth is now on tour as a part of the Rockstar Mayhem Festival with Disturbed, Godsmack, Machine Head, and others. The tour runs through August 14th and will play in venues across the United States. Afterwards, they'll take a month off before playing the 2nd-ever Big Four show in the US at New York's Yankee Stadium on September 14th.
