Megadeth Done With Recording…For Now

Megadeth are getting ready to head out to Priest Feast with Testament and Judas Priest for two months, so all studio recording will cease until they return in late March. Here is an excerpt from Dave Mustaine’s update from the Megadeth Forums.

I am sitting in my office at 5:30ish AM and am typing this as I try to wake up. Yesterday, Andy Sneap went back to the UK for a while, as we are preparing to go out on the Priest Feast Tour. This means effectively that the recording has stopped, until we return in March/April.

We finished all of the rhythm and bass guitars, as well as the drums being finished for a couple weeks now, and I think I even heard some acoustic layers. The reaction from our management, family, friends (the real critics), and my number one judge and coach Justis, has been pretty positive.

Take note, Rick Ruben. Andy Sneap was with them in the recording studio DURING the recording and pre-production phase. Crazy…I know, but that’s how things get done the right way. I know it’s been awhile, dude, but you should try it sometime.
