Megadeth have unveiled “Tipping Point” as the first single and video from their forthcoming self-titled final album due out in 2026 via Dave Mustaine’s Tradecraft imprint in partnership with Frontiers Label Group’s new BLKIIBLK label.  The sonically explosive and lyrically unflinching song kicks off with a thunderous guitar solo before Dave’s iconic voice hauntingly kicks in. In the desolate but hopeful accompanying video, directed by Leonardo Liberti, Dave is locked up in a prison being tortured in extreme fashion, while the band performs in the same lock-up.

ALBUM REVIEW: Nefarious – Addicted to Power


 

I spent entirely too long trying to sub-genrefy NefariousAddicted to Power (Relentless Metal Records).
