Megadeth’s Dystopia coming in January

Dave Mustaine has confirmed that Megadeth’s 15th album is named Dystopia.

The follow-up to 2013’s Super Collider is expected on January 22, with lead track Fatal Illusion – streamed last night – released on October 16.

Mustaine asked fans via Twitter: “So tell me… what do you think about Fatal Illusion and the album cover for Dystopia?”

An Amazon listing offers track lengths for 11 of the 15 songs that have been previously listed.

It’s the band’s first record with new guitarist Kiko Louriero and Lamb Of God drummer Chris Adler, who plays a guest role. He’ll pull double duties when Megadeth and Lamb Of God tour the UK together in November.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
