New York, NY - Roadrunner Records is proud to announce the signing of
Megadeth. Already known as one of rock's most forward-thinking bands,
Megadeth and its frontman Dave Mustaine have cast a long shadow on the
metal and hard rock landscape with millions of records sold worldwide
and an undeniable influence echoed in scores of young bands today.
"We are proud to be working with one of the chief architects of modern
hard rock and metal: Dave Mustaine. Megadeth and Roadrunner have led
parallel careers on the cutting edge of metal for years now. The
combination of the two is bound to be lethal," says A&R man, Mike
Gitter.
Mustaine says of his new home "It is exciting to be some place you are
respected, understood and appreciated. The truth is there's a lot of
people I've known there over the years. I'm stoked we're all coming
back together again to work on this project."
Megadeth has begun work on its as-yet-untitled Roadrunner debut under
the watchful eye of Mustaine and co-producer Jeff Balding (who helmed
2004's The System Has Failed).
Mustaine is presently finalizing the lineup for Megadeth's Gigantour 2
festival tour of the US.
