With Dave Mustaine on lead guitar and vocals, Kiko Lourieri on lead guitar, Dirk Verbeuren on drums and James LoMenzo on bass, Megadeth heads into its fall tour fresh off the release of its incendiary 16th studio album, The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!. The album further establishes Megadeth as a band that has both defined and repeatedly redefined heavy metal since formation, and which follows up 2016’s Grammy®-winning Dystopia. With The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!, Megadeth has crafted a record with a visceral energy, heaviness, and sometimes paranormal pace that few would expect from such a seasoned band with so little to prove. It melds the ultra-frenetic riffing, fiercely intricate guitar solos, and adventurous spirit of the quartet’s groundbreaking early output with the musicality and melodicism of its ‘90s songwriting, all laced with signature virtuosity and precision.
The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! is a relentlessly caffeinated, riff-fueled romp of a record in its technical prowess, ambitious arrangements, staggering guitar solos, and nihilistic yet eloquent lyricism. Acoustic intros and interludes, a sense of progressive adventure, and Dave Mustaine’s trademark socio-political commentary round-out the record. As always with Megadeth, every riff is meticulously fashioned to constantly crescendo, with new harmonic elements endlessly manifesting and every detail structured for maximum musical and emotional effect. Yet, through all of the album’s moods and movements, Megadeth never loses the crucial groove that binds the band members to one another and the foursome to its audience.
