Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine has shared another update on the band’s upcoming album. According to him, the group “are almost 90 days” into the process.

Mustaine said the following:

“We are almost 90 days into the making of the 17th Megadeth album, currently titled, ‘Album 17’. That was a difficult choice, doh!

So, I started working on new Megadeth album with [producer] Chris Rakestraw from ‘Dystopia’ and our most recent album, ‘The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!’Teemu [Mäntysaari] came out to join me right after New Years Eve, and James [Lomenzo] and Dirk [Verbeuren] will be here in February.

We are off to a good start.. A trivia tidbit: I seem to remember that ‘Holy Wars’ and ‘Symphony Of Destruction’ were some of the last songs written on their perspective albums…

I hope you all are getting ready for Valentine’s Day!”
