Mon, 11 Jul 2011
Megadeth head, Dave Mustaine has revealed details of the LA metal elders new record as well as the story behind the name of the new album, reports Gibson.com.
An unlucky number for some, Mustaine and co opted for the name '13', although it is understood to have now been stylized as 'Th1rt3en' for a number of reasons, he told DJ Tom Russel:
"I started playing guitar at 13 and this is our 13th record and I was born on the 13th," he said. "As soon as I said I was going to call it 13, I started noticing 13 everywhere. They never used to have 13th floors in hotels, but now they have them again!"
The album will be the their first since 2009's 'Endgame' LP and was recorded in Mustaine's Vic's Garage studio in San Marcos, California with producer Johnny K.
'Th1rt3en' is tentatively scheduled for release this November.
