Interwoven throughout, audiences will get to experience the world premiere of Megadeth‘s new self-titled album in full, brought to life with a 40-year retrospective career-spanning interview and Mustaine’s own track-by-track reflections about the band’s final studio album.
This one night only listening event will provide a first-listen to this landmark project. ‘Megadeth: Behind The Mask‘ is an immersive celebration of one of the most influential bands in metal history, capturing their legacy while heralding a powerful new chapter.”

TMZ have shared more disturbing details regarding the death of Carlito Junior Milfort, aka POORSTACY. The 26-year-old reportedly shot himself at a motel in Boca Raton, Florida after him and and his girlfriend, Nicole Grikstas, went on a drug bender with a child present.
TMZ shared a summary of the situation:
“Cops say Nicole told them she and Milfort arrived back at their hotel room around 11 PM Friday, Nov. 8 … where they both took some cocaine. Cops say Nicole told them a few hours later — around 3 AM — she took a dose of MDMA. Nicole told officers she and Milfort argued frequently throughout the night … accusing each other of infidelity. Police allege Nicole did not try to remove their child from the explosive environment.
Nicole told cops Milfort accused her of hiding his drugs — she denied doing so. She told police he forcibly removed her clothing in order to check her vaginal and anal areas for hidden narcotics … before striking her multiple times.
At this point, Nicole told police Milfort pulled out a gun and threatened to shoot her if she didn’t tell him where his drugs were … alternating between pointing the gun at himself and her over the next hour — before she says he put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger early Saturday morning.”
Police ruled Milfort’s death as a suicide, but his family believe foul play was involved. They also determined that Grikstas failed to remove the child despite the presence of the drugs and gun. As such, she was arrested for child neglect.

Shawn “Clown” Crahan has offered another update on “Look Outside Your Window,” the side album that him, Corey Taylor, Jim Root, and Sid Wilson recorded during the “All Hope Is Gone“ sessions.

“Lets start with LOYW, i know I told everyone it would be this year. I’m very sorry its hasnt been. Things come to play that change things all the time with the art we create. I want you to know 2026 is the year. It’s just simply time and I’m just getting tired of waiting myself. Have faith. I promise”
