MEGADETH has released their new single, “Soldier On.” The song is marching, ultra-catchy, and follows the release of the two previous tracks, “We’ll Be Back” and “Night Stalkers.” Megadeth is currently promoting their new album, which is set to be released on September 2.
The album showcases Dave Mustaine’s triumphant return to form following his battle with throat cancer. The album was produced by Chris Rakestraw, who also worked on “Dystopia”.
It was recorded at Mustaine’s home studio in Nashville, TN, with guitarist Kiko Loureiro and drummer Dirk Verbeuren. Bassist Steve DiGiorgio temporarily filled in for the recording sessions, following David Ellefson’s dismissal from the band. With the recent tour kick-off, Megadeth alum James LoMenzo rejoined the band as a permanent bass player.
