Megadeth, the thrash metal institution founded and led by Dave Mustaine, have announced that 2026 will see the launch of their last ever studio album, with a worldwide farewell tour to bring down the curtain on one of metal’s biggest bands.
A big announcement had been teased. A ticking clock, a countdown. No details of the album have been shared, no titles, no release date, but it will bring down the curtain on Megadeth, and by the sounds of it Mustaine’s recording career. In his valedictory announcement, he mentions bands, plural, that he has been involved in.
