Next MEGADETH Album To Be Released Via DAVE MUSTAINE's TRADECRAFT Imprint And BLKIIBLK RECORDS

Grammy-winning, multiplatinum heavy metal band MEGADETH has announced an agreement for founder and frontman Dave Mustaine's Tradecraft imprint with the Frontiers Label Group's new imprint BLKIIBLK. In this new arrangement, BKLIIBLK — which is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of heavy music — will exclusively release the iconic band’s forthcoming album globally.

"When I first met Tom Lipsky and Bob Chiappardi back in the day, I had no idea we would be working together again so many years in the future," Dave Mustaine says. "I look forward to working with Serafino and the team in Italy and I can't wait for the fans to hear the songs from our new record."

This new and exciting collaboration with one of the most influential and groundbreaking bands in heavy metal history marks a significant moment for both the label and metal fans worldwide. BLKIIBLK aims to bring a fresh perspective by focusing on innovative and boundary-pushing artists. With a mission to support and elevate the genre, the imprint strives to showcase talent that is both pioneering and influential.

"As the owner of Frontiers, I am honored to be working with MEGADETH, a band that has shaped the sound of metal for decades. This collaboration reflects our dedication to bringing the best in rock and metal to our audience," says Serafino Perugino, president and CEO of Frontiers Label Group.

"Myself, Justis Mustaine and Steve Ross at CTK Enterprises are extremely excited for the partnership with Dave Mustaine's Tradecraft Records and BLKIIBLK," says Danny Nozell, CEO, CTK. "Looking forward to getting this new album out to the world and combining teams with Serafino and Tom for the global attack."

Tom Lipsky, head of A&R of North America for Frontiers Label Group, commented: "When BLKIIBLK Records was formed, the very first artist we agreed was ideal to define the creative mission of the label was MEGADETH. Now, it is a reality. The band is crushing it in the studio. Danny Nozell, Justis Mustaine, Steve Ross and the team at CTK are developing an incredible global plan, and our team is thrilled, primed and ready to shake up the world of hard rock and metal!"

MEGADETH is once again working with Chris Rakestraw, a producer, mixer and engineer who previously worked on MEGADETH's last two albums, 2022's "The Sick, The Dying... And The Dead!" and 2016's "Dystopia".

Last September, MEGADETH guitarist Teemu Mäntysaari, who joined the band a year and a half ago as the replacement for Kiko Loureiro, was asked by Meltdown of Detroit's WRIF radio station about the progress of the songwriting sessions for MEGADETH's next LP. He said: "Yeah, actually, already a while back Dave started talking about making the next album and kind of starting to do pre-production. And as soon as he mentioned that, and kind of before that already, once it was clear that I'm gonna be staying with the band, then I kind of started putting my ideas down and just recording any riff ideas that I feel like could be something that could be used in MEGADETH. And by now I have a bunch of riffs and ideas that I've gathered. And then Dave told me that he likes to work the way that everybody does their riffs and then at some point we're gonna get together and then review things and see which riffs are gonna work together and then work out the parts between the riffs to kind of connect things and then that way come up with the skeletons for the songs. And I'm really looking forward to doing that and hearing how he feels about my ideas as well. But what I've done so far is whenever I have a moment to sit down, I usually just record a little video of myself playing a riff idea and then when we have a day off at the hotel, then I would record that properly and then just like have this folder of riffs that we can look into at some point. So, [I'm] really looking forward to that. And Dave has been really supportive and sounds like he wants to have all the guys' input on the next album, which is really exciting."

In August 2024, Mustaine was asked by Chuck Armstrong of "Loudwire Nights" how the dynamic within MEGADETH has changed since Mäntysaari's addition to the band. Mustaine responded: "Well, we are a band again. It doesn't feel like me and some side players or some session guys. Not that it felt like that with any of the previous lineups, but that was one of the fears that I had. I feel like Kiko did us a really huge courtesy by helping us find Teemu because with Kiko needing to step down… I thought I was gonna finish my career out with Kiko, and when things came up with him, he couldn't tour anymore because he needed to be home for his kids. So I see he's touring again, which I'm happy that he's still playing. But he had to go home. And when he did, he introduced us to Teemu. And it was an even closer connection between me and Teemu than Kiko and I had. We'll [Kiko and I] always be friends, but this new relationship I have is — it harkens me back to the days when we had Marty Friedman in the band and the four of us actually felt like a band."

Mäntysaari stepped in September 2023 for Loureiro, who announced earlier that month that he would sit out the next leg of MEGADETH's "Crush The World" tour in order to stay home with his children back in Finland. It was later revealed that the 37-year-old Finnish musician would continue to play guitar for MEGADETH for the foreseeable future, with Loureiro seemingly having no plans to return.

Mäntysaari was born in Tampere, Finland and began playing guitar at the age of 12. In 2004, he joined the band WINTERSUN. He has also been a member of SMACKBOUND since 2015.

Earlier in August, Mustaine was asked by Kyle Meredith what Mäntysaari has brought to MEGADETH that wasn't there before. Mustaine responded: "God, he's such an amazing talent. And as far as being a human is concerned, he's a really humble guy. He's fun to be around because he's kind of — there's this 'greenness' to him, if that's a word, greenness. He makes it really fun because he's gone from being in a band that was pretty well known to being in MEGADETH. And so everything's very new for him at this level. And for us, we get to kind of enjoy ourselves, because we sometimes forget where we're at and then you see other people that, 'Wow, the bread is round and so is the meat,' that kind of shit. And it just makes him really happy, and it just reminds you of how good you have it."

Regarding how much a lineup change like that actually alters the musical DNA of the band, Dave said: "Well, it depends on who the new player is. If they're willing to learn the parts, then the songs either, they stay where they are or they get better. And a lot of times when you have a new player, like when Teemu came in, he played everything identical to the original players. So, he's been one of the best guitar players to step in and play somebody else's stuff. I don't know what his stuff's going to sound like yet, which I'm looking forward to finding out."

Last June, Mustaine told Sakis Fragos of Rock Hard Greece that he thinks Teemu will contribute to the songwriting process on MEGADETH's next studio album. "I think he's gonna be a great addition to MEGADETH," Dave said. "He already has. We're playing more songs now than we were playing before. And that has nothing negative to say about any of the previous lineups. It just says that he knew more about the band and understands the metal backbone of so many of these songs more than some of the other people would understand it."

He continued: "When you're a metal guy, I think you understand metal compositions more than somebody who, say for example, knows progressive rock like [former MEGADETH guitarist] Chris Broderick does, or somebody who knows bossa nova, which Kiko does, or somebody that plays jazzy, like [former MEGADETH guitarist] Glen Drover would play, maybe Al Pitrelli. These guys all have their strengths."

Mustaine added: "I've often thought, although I've never said it, I do believe that when somebody gets singled out by me, that's pretty much it for them. They've been indoctrinated into the world of great guitar players, and from that moment on, their life will change."

In early October 2023, Mustaine told Shaggy of the 94.9 and 104.5 The Pick radio station in Idaho Falls, Idaho about Teemu's addition to MEGADETH: "People are losing their minds over how things are going right now 'cause we have a really good chemistry together."

In September 2023, Mustaine was equally full of praise for Mäntysaari, telling Wes Styles in a separate interview: "He's really great. And I'm super excited with what Teemu has brought. And it's uncanny because he plays a lot like Marty. And it's really exciting. At certain times I just close my eyes during the set and I just hear these songs played, whether like Kiko in the past or Teemu now, it just sounds really magic because these guys have learned these songs and they're not just going out there and just banging their guitar around; they actually learned the solos from some of the virtuosos that I've played with over my career."

понижение статуса . можно как угодно раздувать щёки но Frontiers лейбл который работает сгруппами третьего эшелона потому что по деньгам не может потянуть группы из двух первых. и чего ему тогда не издаваться на Tradecraft Records

Exceptional

olly71, мне нравится твоё заявление "по деньгам не может потянуть группы из двух первых" в новости с заголовком "Новый альбом MEGADETH выйдет на Frontiers"

Jack of Diamonds

olly71, мне, например, нравиться группа третьего эшелона Whitesnake

olly71, а ещё Мега едет в тур на разогреве у Disturbed. FFDP уже разогревали, теперь очередь других легенд:)

Какое это имеет значение? Группа менее известной станет? Они могут себе позволить любой лэйбл. Я, конечно, не знаю где они работать будут, но у Дэйва, вроде, поместье в Италии.

Gustaff

Лично мне очень импонирует этот лэйбл.

Лейблов более менее работающих по всему миру осталось не так уж и много . С некоторыми Рыжий успел поссориться из за своего характера . Так что не такой уж и большой выбор у него сейчас остался . В италии он говорил что купил виноградник но фото и видео я не видел только его слова . у него неплохой семейный винный бизнес именно для этого он и купил его . писаться они наверняка будут в штатах в его домашней студии как всегда .

Вашингтон Ирвинг

olly71, будет забавно, если реально в Штатах - 3/4 состава живут в Европе. Или Дэйв не постоянно в Италии живет?

7 мар 2025

olly71

Вашингтон Ирвинг, с чего ты решил про 3/4 ? барабанщик хоть и бельгиец но живёт в Лос Анжелесе . басист хоть и имеет итальянские корни но то же живёт в штатах . ну и мастейн живёт в Нешвилле . Только гитарист в Финляндии .

Пахнет кроиловом. В Италии, видимо, дешевле писАться, и Мегадет туда ссылают в целях экономии.

У Metallica вообще лейбла нет в привычном понимании и в последний десяток лет, как у настоящей альтернативной группы, и все ок.

Кстати, почему бы Маштейну не попробовать подписаться на "Blackened Recordings"!

Nepalcev

gravitgroove, лучше на EMP Label Group!

Nepalcev, неплохо!

gravitgroove, потому что у него есть свой такой же личный лейбл Tradecraft Records на котором он раньше даже выпускал Мегу . не понимаю зачем ему эти третьесортные итальяшки

Фронтьерс специфическая контора.
Занимаються тем,чем другие не могут или не хотят.
Не похожа не на один другой лэйбл
Свои подходы,свои правила.
