 Megadeth have recorded 18 songs for their new album, says frontman Dave Mustaine.<\/p>\n

Mustaine was speaking to SiriusXM’s Jose Mangin as part of the ‘Metal Tour Of The Year’ series on the radio programme.<\/p>\n

Discussing the follow-up to 2016’s ‘Dystopia’ album, Mustaine said: “Dirk [Verbeuren, drums] and David Ellefson [bass] both just finished their parts. And this was probably one of the strongest records we’ve ever had as far as duration.<\/p>\n

 “The other records we’ve done have all done been different lengths, and our [record] contract that we have [to deliver] for one company, it’s eight songs, for another company, it’s 11 songs, so, realistically, all we need to do is do an 11-song album and we’re done, right? That’s not the way old Uncle Dave is, though.”<\/p>\n

Dissecting the process of creating the album, Mustaine continued: “So we got in the studio and we started working and it got to where we were writing all the original parts, and we had 15 of ’em.<\/p>\n

 “And then we got to the end, and I said, ‘Shoot, we didn’t think about the cover songs, man.’ We had a couple of songs we wanted to do for this record. ‘Damn, we forgot. What are we gonna do? Do you wanna still talk about it?’ ‘Yeah, we wanna talk about it.’<\/p>\n

“So we ended up doing 18 songs altogether, and then we had another song that we forgot was part of one of the other songs, so we had 19. [We] ditched one of the cover songs, so now we’ve got an 18-song album that we’re gonna be bringing.”<\/p>\n

This January, Megadeth played their first show with Mustaine since he completed his treatment for throat cancer, a diagnosis he was given in July 2019. <\/p>\n
