Metal Anarchy

Jeff Young (Kings Of Thrash, ex-Megadeth) has offered an update on his upcoming album “rEvolutions.” According to him, he is “close to the finish line.”

Young issued the following statement:

“Hello & happy 2026 friends! I hope this letter finds you well…

I’ve been patiently working on something for well over a decade now – an album project! The process began with a specific intent but no conditions nor time limit. The goal was, to create a fresh sound, incorporating influences & skills garnered over the years… (rock. metal, world, classical, blues, etc).

I wasn’t seeking to ‘form a band’ but wanted to collaborate with the very best group of players I could find. On that note, I’d say, lady luck has been on my side. I keep telling my close friends & colleagues, “Put me on the back burner, just have a listen to all these creative souls, who lended their unique talents, helping me sculpt these songs into something… magical.”

We are close to finishing the recording & mixing portions of this “life’s work” project. By beginning with the intent not to rush but to, “allow” the songs to write themselves. Waiting for the appropriate players to arrive & recording as much as possible, staying true to vintage Analog recording methods – this album pretty much wrote itself.

As a result, the songs reflect not only my journey as a musician, songwriter & producer… the listener gets to meet the musicians & influences that have fortunately crossed my path along the way.

Sonically speaking, the actual process of “recording” music has changed so drastically from a decade ago. Each song on the record is like it’s own ‘time capsule’ or movie. Along the trip, the listener can hear exactly where I was in a given year, also where the audio technology medium was in that moment.

I’ve talked with a couple record lables so far, that wanted to help us release this album but I want to be sure it’s really the “right fit” and we make the most of our creative efforts!
