The new Megadeth album draws nearer, and with another parallel to Lamb Of God! Josh Wilbur has been tapped to mix the new Megadeth album, according to Dave Mustaine's Twitter.
I heard the first pass at an official mix for the song "The Threat Is Real" that @JoshWilburMusic did. I'm thrilled he's mixing! #Megadeth15

I guess this means we'll be hearing something in the pretty near future? Granted things need to be mastered still and who knows how many other songs there are that haven't been mixed, but still! We're getting closer to a final product! Wilbur has also worked with bands like Gojira and All That Remains, so maybe the band's claims that this album brings the legitimate heaviness is real.
The band also revealed the tracklisting for the album, which will feature two covers:
- Death from Within
- Fatal Illusion
- Conquer… Or Die!
- Lying in State
- Me Hate You
- The Emperor’s New Clothes
- Dystopia
- Bullet to the Brain
- Last Dying Wish
- Post American World
- Look Who’s Talking
- The Threat is Real
- Poisonous Shadows
- Melt the Ice Away (Budgie cover)
- Foreign Policy (Fear cover)
