Y’know, the kind of album you’ve been hoping Megadeth would have made in 1994 combining elements of both Rust In Peace and Countdown To Extinction – except heavier. Much, much heavier" Read the interview HERE

September 5, 2009 - DAVE MUSTAINE: "WHAT DOES STARTING OVER MEAN?"
Dave Mustaine has issued the following update: "Well, we were finally able to let the cat out of the bag and post that we are going to be playing on Sept., 17th on the Jimmy Fallon show in NY. I am so pumped to do this show, because I have done several shows before, like FX, Jon Stewart, Politically Incorrect, Arsenio, and the great Dave Letterman, (and there was obviously the rush of Letterman), but few were as fulfilling as being on Bill Maher or Jon Stewart's shows." MORE

September 3, 2009 - JAMES LOMENZO: "SHAKIN' OFF THE COBWEBS"
James LoMenzo has issued the following update: "Happy to report that it's time to get the Megadeth touring Machinery rolling again. This is definitely one of my favorite parts of the business. Tomorrow, Chris and I are going to meet up with Dave and get to some musical planning for The "End Game" touring ahead. We'll see what we can add from the burgeoning Mega-catalog that we haven't played together yet. It has an air of "kid in a candy store" as most of the bands fans might imagine."

September 2, 2009 - DAVE MUSTAINE: "WAY TO START THE DAY!"
Dave Mustaine has issued the following update: "I think we all are aware of the quality of Endgame, and I attribute that to hard work, perseverance, and following my heart, instead of worrying about what the label is going to say, our what the people at radio or cable think. I usually don't read any interviews, or reviews of Megs because for every dozen good reviews or interviews I see, there are going to be one that is unfair, and therefore I just stopped reading them. So, today my manager sent me an email from some person about a review from some guy who was a former editor, and now is a freelance writer." MORE

September 2, 2009 - "ENDGAME IS THE ALBUM FANS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR"
Ray Van Horn, Jr. for Hails & Horns magazine has written the following review of Megadeth's new album "Endgame". "Without exaggeration, Endgame is the album MEGADETH fans—old and new—have been patiently waiting for. ...Vaulting in theory from Killing’s My Business…and Business is Good to Cryptic Writings, this album is pure MEGADETH across its own board, most happily yielding vengeful thrash modes ala the first two albums and Rust in Peace on “This Day We Fight!” “Head Crusher” and the breathtaking final stanza of “Bodies.” Read the entire review HERE

September 1, 2009 - SHAWN DROVER: "NEW RECORD BEING RELEASED IN TWO WEEKS"
Shawn Drover has issued the following update: "I don't know about you, but I am getting jacked up about the new record being released in 2 weeks now. Man, it seems so long ago now that we actually started this record, so for me to finally see that the release is right around the corner, it does put a smile on my face, I must say. For those of you who enjoy Megadeth music, I do hope you like ENDGAME as much as we do." MORE

September 1, 2009 - FROM VIC'S GARAGE TO ENDGAME WITH SHAWN DROVER
Kevin Stewart-Panko for hellbound.ca recently conducted an interview with Shawn Drover. "We tracked down drummer and ex-pat Canadian, Shawn Drover for a short chat. You can be assured that from now until the subsequent touring cycle for "Endgame" is over and done with, you’re going to be stumbling across a lot of what Mustaine has to say as everyone hangs on and publishes the ponderings and opinions of the guitarist/vocalist/founding member/driving engine/main mouthpiece. In the interest of nailing down a different perspective on all things Megadeth, Hellbound lets you in on what Shawn has to say." Read the interview HERE
