“There are so many musicians who have ended their careers, whether accidentally or intentionally”declares Dave Mustaine. “Most of them cannot go as they please at the top of their glory, and this is where I am in my life right now. I traveled the world and I made millions and millions of fans, and the most difficult in all of this is to say goodbye. We are impatient that you listen to this album and that you saw us on tour. If there has never been an ideal moment to release a new album, it’s now. If there has never been an ideal time to do a world tour, it’s now. It is also the perfect time to announce that it will be our latest studio album. We have made a lot of friends over the years and I hope to see you all during our worldwide tour. Do not be angry, do not be sad, be happy for all of us, come and celebrate with me in the coming years. We have accomplished something really wonderful together that will probably never happen. We have launched a musical style, we sparked a revolution, we have changed the world of guitar and the way it is played, and we have changed the world too. The groups in which I played influenced the world. I love you all for that. Thank you for everything. »»
