The legendary thrash metal band\u00a0announced their plans to retire earlier this year with a farewell album and tour.<\/a>\u00a0\u201cThere\u2019s so many musicians that have come to the end of their career, whether accidental or intentional,\u201d Mustaine explained in a social media post. \u201cMost of them don\u2019t get to go out on their own terms on top, and that\u2019s where I\u2019m at in my life right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

So far, the album has been previewed by two singles: \u2018Tipping Point<\/a>\u2019 and \u2018I Don\u2019t Care\u2019. Now, they\u2019ve shared the high-octane \u2018Let There Be Shred\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Megadeth started we said we would be fast and furious\u2026we said so on the flyers we handed out,\u201d Dave Mustaine<\/a> said in a statement about the track.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis song is fast and furious. Know it! It has a very hooky chorus that draws you in and you can\u2019t help but play air guitar and headbang to this one.\u201d<\/p>\n

It comes alongside a Keith Leman-directed music video, which sees Mustaine participate in a mixed martial arts battle.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a blast to make and it\u2019s a tribute to my first Sensei, Benny \u2018The Jet\u2019 Urquidez, and my Professor, Reggie Almieda,\u201d Mustaine explained. \u201cEveryone on the set was really stoked to see each of us do our stunts. In the end, we got the balance of shredding and ass kicking just right!\u201d<\/p>\n

In other news, Mustaine revealed that he would like for Megadeth\u2019s final show to take place in space<\/a>. \u201cI think that will be a really fitting climax,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I\u2019m not talking about on the side of a vomit comet. A gig on the Moon, a full moon landing, that would be cool. I saw they sent up a bunch of celebrities into space and I thought \u2018Well, if them, why not me?\u2019, you know?\u2019<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Mustaine recently shared that Megadeth\u2019s farewell run of shows could last \u201cfor another three to five years\u201d<\/a>. Mustaine has previously\u00a0revealed that the band will be covering Metallica classic \u2018Ride The Lightning\u2019 for their final album,<\/a>\u00a0explaining: \u201cOne of the songs is a cover song but I actually wrote it, so it\u2019s kind of like a cover, kind of like my song.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Megadeth have released \u2018Let There Be Shred\u2019, the latest single from their upcoming farewell album.
