Dave Mustaine has posted the following studio update: "We are on the last day or so of drum tracks, and barring the debacle at the top of the session, we have been able to maintain the typical Vic quality with the recording. Chris Broderick has been coming down more and more and it really is starting to feel like a band again (sometimes it feels more like a session when we break after a tour and the time-lapse, before we feel like we are in stride again). James, of course lives down here and has been working with me daily, and has been relentless in his work on this project and the additional stuff that we have been doing for the last few months."
