(Gibson) Megadeth drummer Shawn Drover recently gave online publication Crypt Magazine the scoop on the band's new album, and the word is: It's coming soon!"Right now we're in tour mode, but we're starting to discuss our game plan for next year, and I envision next year we'll be recording a new record," Drover said. "So there's no end in sight as far as we're concerned. We're just going to keep rolling, and things are going really well for us right now, and we're just seizing every opportunity that we can."
Also asked about Megadeth's mega-successful European jaunt on The Big Four tour with Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax this past summer, Drover said there's hope for more tour dates with the metal powerhouses. "Once we did [the Big Four Tour] in Europe, now everyone around the world's screaming for it," Drover said. "So hopefully we'll be able to do it next year, or whenever that's going to be. But right now, we really don't know. You know, there's talk, you hear things, people say things, but until it actually presents itself … We're all really hopeful that it will. We'll see what happens with it." - more on this story
