Megadeth have teased a new song titled “Tipping Point,” the first single from their forthcoming final album.
The band posted a 30-second clip of the song’s music video on its social channels, announcing the release of the full track next Friday (October 3rd).
Musically, we get a preview of what sounds like an intro or transition in the song, including a brief snippet of vocals from Dave Mustaine. Chugging riffs grind to a halt, prompting a breakdown of soloed guitar. From there, it sounds like the band is about to launch into a bit of groove/thrash metal before the clip ends.
The biggest takeaway is the sound of Mustaine’s vocals. Maybe it’s just an effect for this portion of the track, but these are some harsh vox from Dave, arguably the growliest he’s ever sounded and even giving off some death metal vibes.

So far, Megadeth haven’t revealed any more information about their final album beyond the teaser clip and artwork — a tuxedo’d Vic Rattlehead in flames — though the initial announcement stated that pre-orders would launch Saturday (September 27th), per the band’s website, implying that details could drop as soon as this weekend.
Meanwhile, Megadeth also announced plans for a 2026 farewell tour and the release of Dave Mustaine’s new memoir sometime next year.
