While Megadeth have been touring behind their new album, “Super Collider”, leader Dave Mustaine says he is already working on ideas for the band’s next project.
“I have been studying a lot of world history and a lot of crazy science stuff for new lyrics,” tweeted Mustaine on Monday. “This world is so fascinating!”
“Super Collider” debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 album chart in June with opening week sales of 29,000 copies.
Megadeth just wrapped up a month on the road headlining their own Gigantour festival; in September, they’ll play a series of US dates with Iron Maiden before teaming up with Black Sabbath for a tour of Latin America in October.
On September 24, Megadeth will release “Countdown To Extinction: Live”, a new set that captures the band in concert on the 20th anniversary tour of the double-platinum 1992 album.
Recorded and filmed at Los Angeles' Fox Theatre last December, the 2012 show sees Megadeth performing the entire “Countdown To Extinction” album, as well as playing other classics from their recorded catalog, like "Holy Wars" and "Hangar 18" from 1990's "Rust In Peace", "Peace Sells" from the 1986 platinum album "Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?", and "Trust" from 1997's "Cryptic Writings".
"Countdown To Extinction: Live" will be released on CD, DVD and Blu-ray.
