The band, featuring bassist Dave Mustaine, released their most recent album, Dystopia , in 2016.
David Ellefson, bassist and co-founder of Megadeth , was the latest guest on the American radio program Full Metal Jackie. On the occasion, the musician spoke about the experience of narrating the documentary Inside Metal: Rise of LA Thrash Metal , about how he met Dave Mustaine, about the success of the band's most recent album, Dystopia (2016), and about the group's future plans.
When asked about the successor to Dystopia , Ellefson hinted at the possibility of a new album in 2019. “Our goal is to spend this year writing ,” he stated. “Then we’ll have to work on the tracks and, in my mind, the album will be released in 2019. But one of the things we learned from Dystopia was that we need to give ourselves the necessary time to make a new album. I think that contributed a lot to the quality of our work and to the fans’ excitement when it came out.”
In January, Megadeth released the band's second music video filmed in Brazil ( watch it here ). The video for "Lying in State" (from Dystopia ) was shot in São Paulo during a trip the band took in November 2017. In 2016, the American band had already chosen the city of São Paulo for the visual recording of "Conquer or Die," from the same album.
