Megadeth Plan To Hit The Studio In Either October Or November

Posted by caemanamelio on

It looks like Megadeth plan to start working on a follow-up to “Dystopia” later this year. Dave Mustaine recently told KATT Rock 100.5 FM’s “No Brown M&Ms” the following:

“We plan on going back in the studio, we’re probably gonna go back in and start throwing some ideas around at the end of the year. We’re thinking about November or December.”

This will be the groups’ first effort with new drummer Dirk Verbeuren, with Mustaine offering the following about him:

“As good as [Chris] Adler was, Dirk’s feet are more advanced and I didn’t think that was possible because Chris is such a great drummer. There’s a reason why Chris recommended Dirk. I love him for that, he’s a really solid friend for making that recommendation. A lot of guys wouldn’t do that, but he’s a true friend. [Dirk] is one of the most pleasant, easy to get along with guys I’ve ever met in my life … I’ve never, ever, ever seen him not smile.”
