Megadeth Announce Album 13

Dave Mustaine confirms new record is due in November

Published 10th Aug 2011

The album, titled TH1RT3EN, is the follow-up to their 2009 album Endgame and it's due for release on 1 November in the US (presumably 31 October over here).

It's the first album since bassist Dave Ellefson returned to the band. He was part of the band's "classic" line-up from 1983 to 2002.

In a recent interview with Dave Mustaine revealed the reason that they had decided to keep the name of the album simple.

"I started playing guitar at 13 and this is our 13th record and I was born on the 13th. 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."
