Das zwölfte Studioalbum der Heavy Metal Institution MEGADETH wird den Namen 'Endgame' tragen. Das Album wurde im brandneuen bandeigenen Studio Vic's Garage in der Nähe von San Diego aufgenommen und wird im September dieses Jahres über Roadrunner Records veröffentlicht.

'Endgame' wurde von Andy Sneap und Dave Mustaine produziert, der bereits beim 2007er Album 'United Abominations' als Produzent agierte. Vier Songtitel wurden bereits bekannt gegeben: 'Headcrusher', '1,320', 'How The Story Ends' und 'This Day We Fight!'.

Mustaine selbst sagt über 'Endgame':
'Thematically, I've never been known to be a silent bystander in a world that needs our participation. As more is revealed about our former President's legacy, a little-known yet staggeringly frightening document, which was signed into law, named 'Endgame,' has been uncovered. The album 'Endgame' is the most energetic music offering I have penned in over a decade and is far more believable than knowing someone signed 'ENDGAME' -the document- into law. The album is also the perfect 'ass- kicking' music to listen to once you are done reading the aforementioned document!

This new album is my proudest moment since the famous (or infamous) 'Rust in Peace' album. With this album I am also very excited to be introducing my new lead guitarist Chris Broderick to the world. I have always felt lucky to have had top shredders in that position but after touring with Chris in support of my last album, I couldn't wait to get into the studio and see what he could do.'

Neben Dave Mustaine und Chris Broderick komplettieren Bassist James LoMenzo und Schlagzeuger Shawn Drover das aktuelle MEGADETH Line-Up.
