After what feels like years of reporting on it, the new Megadeth album is complete! The band just wrapped up recording and is moving on to the mixing stage, which according to guitarist and vocalist Dave Mustaine is happening right now.
The new record will also feature a new mystery bassist who may or may not be Steve Di Giorgio (Testament, Act of Denial, ex-Death).
"Sending the album in for mixing. Final step. I can’t wait to play the new songs for you!"
