Bassist Steve DiGiorgio temporarily stepped in to record the album. With the kick-off of MEGADETH 's recent tour, MEGADETH alumnus James LoMenzo rejoined the MEGADETH family as permanent bass player.

MEGADETH recently received its thirteenth Grammy nomination for "Best Metal Performance" for the song "We'll Be Back" from "The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!" .

MEGADETH won the 2017 Grammy Award for "Best Metal Performance" for the title track of the band's 2016 album "Dystopia" . This marked the group's twelfth Grammy nomination in this category (including nominations in the discontinued "Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance" category).

“Dave Mustaine really wants to do another record”: Megadeth are making their next album, says bassist

According to James LoMenzo, the thrash metal icons are already at work on the follow-up to 2022’s The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!

James LoMenzo and Dave Mustaine of Megadeth in 2022

Megadeth bassist James LoMenzo says the thrash metal favourites are working on their next studio album.

LoMenzo, who replaced co-founding member David Ellefson in 2022, made the revelation while talking to Portugal’s Metal Global .

“We’re actively working on music right now,” the bassist said (per Blabbermouth ).

“We’re talking with Dave [Mustaine , Megadeth’s singer/guitarist] every day. Dave really wants to do another record and just get something fresh out there.”

LoMenzo continued by saying that he really hoped to play on the band’s previous album, 2022’s The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! , but that the parts had already been recorded by session player and Testament bassist Steve Di Giorgio.

Di Giorgio re-recorded bass parts originally performed by Ellefson, after Ellefson was dismissed from Megadeth amidst a sex scandal .

“The last one I thought was great,” said LoMenzo.

“When I had just joined the band, they just finished recording it. I begged, I pleaded, I said,’'I know, I know, I know, but could I please play bass on this?’ ’Cause there’s a few things I had heard were so great.

“And they were, like, ‘We’ve been doing this for two years. We just have to get on the road. It’s done.’ I was, like, ‘All right.’

“But Steve Di Giorgio did an amazing job. I really love the way he played on this. And I enjoy playing his style.”

Megadeth leader Mustaine, who played guitar in Metallica from 1982 to ’83, recently expressed his loyalty to the thrash metal genre in an interview and said that he never wants to stop writing in that style.

“​​If we [Megadeth] started doing music that wasn’t heavy and it wasn’t thrash, I would probably not want to do it anymore,” he said.

“Thrash metal music is one of those things that makes you feel alive inside.

“I can’t remember anything that I’ve ever experienced that makes me feel as good as thrash metal – not a drug, not a drink, not a person, not a thing.”

Megadeth are currently playing the final shows of a summer European tour and will trek across the US in August and September. See the full list of dates and get tickets via their website .

Featuring some of Mustaine’s strongest-ever songwriting, the tour offers an equally ambitious live performance that delivers on all fronts.

“Our ‘Crush The World’ tour has been a tremendous experience for the four of us,” shared Dave Mustaine. “We are all playing tight, and that has made it possible for me to really focus on solos and singing, we are playing more songs than ever before, and we are closer to each other, onstage AND off. I’m excited to see Mudvayne, and All That Remains. Join us as we DESTROY ALL ENEMIES.”

The North American jaunt comes on the heels of a highly anticipated and successful stint in Latin America wrapping this month and starting back up in Europe this summer.

Megadeth Working On Next Record

by Music-News.com on June 27, 2024

Megadeth are “actively working” on their next studio album.

Megadeth have been busy in the studio making the follow-up to 2022’s ‘The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead!’

Bassist James LoMenzo told Portugal’s ‘Metal Global’: “We’re actively working on music right now.

“We’re talking with Dave [Mustaine, Megadeth’s singer/guitarist] every day. Dave really wants to do another record and just get something fresh out there.”

James didn’t appear on the previous outing, with session player Steve Di Giorgio recording the bass parts, as he had only just replaced David Ellefson, who was let go amid a sex scandal.

He said: “The last one I thought was great.

“When I had just joined the band, they just finished recording it. I begged, I pleaded, I said, ‘I know, I know, I know, but could I please play bass on this?’ ’Cause there’s a few things I had heard were so great.

“And they were, like, ‘We’ve been doing this for two years. We just have to get on the road. It’s done.’ I was, like, ‘All right.’

“But Steve Di Giorgio did an amazing job. I really love the way he played on this. And I enjoy playing his style.”

Dave was going through treatment for throat cancer in 2019, but still soldiered on with the record.

However, the hardest part of all was dealing with “chemo brain”.

He told Total Guitar in 2022: “I think it did (distract him), to a degree.

“The toughest part wasn’t the process of going through all the radiation and chemotherapy, a lot of the cancer medication they gave me fucking with my memory really bad.

“They call it chemo brain, so I’ve been having a hard time staying in the moment, but it’s getting better.”

And when asked whether he’s thinking of retiring, Dave insisted for as long as he can still pick up and play his instrument, he’ll keep shredding.

He replied: “When I got sick I had been talking a lot about playing out a little less.

“Now, if anything, I want to tour more and just carry on until the end when I actually can’t do it anymore.

“I’m not talking about the time when I don’t want to do it anymore.

“I mean when it’s not possible for me to do.

“When I can’t do it, that’s when I’m not gonna want to do it.”

Voice of Baceprot: Indonesia’s female metalheads get set for Glastonbury

The trio will be the first Indonesian band to play the renowned music festival, which gets under way this week.

Marsya, Siti and Widi. They are dressed in black and wearing sunglasses. They have chains around their waists and spiked collars at their necks. They are also wearing black headscarves.

Medan, Indonesia – The Indonesian female metal band Voice of Baceprot are worried about their upcoming performance at Glastonbury in the west of England, but not because they’ll be playing in front of thousands in one of the world’s biggest music festivals.

Instead, they’re thinking about the weather and what they might eat.

Papuans head to indonesian court to protect forests from palm oil, ‘lone wolf’ or ji: jemaah islamiyah confusion after malaysia attack, death toll in indonesia floods, volcanic mud flows rises to 41, slum to stardom: indonesian film director joko anwar is riding high.

The trio, made up of 24-year-old vocalist and guitarist Firda “Marsya” Kurnia, 24-year-old drummer Euis “Siti” Aisyah and 23-year-old bassist Widi Rahmawati, have never been to the United Kingdom before, and have been watching YouTube videos of the festival to prepare themselves.

“We have heard that it rains a lot in England and, even when it is not raining, it is always drizzling,” Siti says, looking pained.

They are also, she says with a grimace, “concerned about the food”.

Voice of Baceprot (VOB), which means “noisy” in Sundanese – a language spoken by about 15 percent of Indonesia’s 270 million people – will be the first Indonesian band to perform at Glastonbury, which gets under way this week.

For Siti it was the band’s “biggest dream” and a shock when the offer first appeared via email back in March.

“We thought that we would have to play other, smaller venues first, but we got the gig straight away,” Marsya said. “We are so excited.”

VOB was founded in 2014 in Garut Regency, a conservative region of West Java province, when the trio joined an extracurricular theatre group at school.  According to Marsya, their acting was “terrible” and, in an effort to bolster the girls’ spirits, their teacher suggested they try music instead.

At the age of 14, the girls picked up their instruments for the first time and began to learn how to play. They had never heard metal or rock songs before, but their teacher gave them his laptop and they discovered playlists filled with songs by bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Armenian-US heavy metal group System of a Down.

“It was then that we discovered metal,” Marysa said.

The women began playing at local music festivals and uploading their shows to Facebook where they quickly began to attract interest. They also posted covers of songs which also received positive reviews.

In 2018, they released their first single “School Revolution” which took on an unexpected life of its own thanks to social media.

“In 2019, there were demonstrations [by students protesting against changes to the criminal code] all over Indonesia and people would upload videos of the rallies with our song playing over the top,” Marsya said.

From that point on, the group became synonymous with music that resonated with Indonesia’s youth and tackled themes of female empowerment, environmental destruction and pacifism – with the trio singing in English, Indonesian and Sundanese.

Flourishing music scene

Indonesia is no stranger to heavy metal and outgoing President Joko Widodo, better known as Jokowi, is known for being a fan of bands like Metallica and Megadeth.

The trio on stage at Wacken Open Air, a festival in Germany/ They are posing on stage. There is a huge crowd behind them.

The country also hosts the Hammersonic Festival – the largest metal music festival in Southeast Asia.

“Throughout its journey, the punk and rock scene in Indonesia has been greatly influenced by developments over time,” Mikail “Mike” Israfil , the lead singer of Indonesian punk band Marjinal, told Al Jazeera.

“Technology and modernity have had a big influence on the shape and development of the scene. The current challenge faced by artists is how to respond to change itself. What’s interesting is that the punk and rock scene in Indonesia is increasingly open, conscious of space and conscious of form, so that it is able to show its quality.”

Within this context, Israfil said, VOB “continues to bulldoze the boundaries of no class, no borders”.

Hikmawan “Indra” Saefullah , who played guitar in the Indonesian indie band Alone at Last from 2002 to 2013 and is a lecturer in Indonesian studies at the University of New England, told Al Jazeera that “the existence and achievements of VoB deserve appreciation”.

“The rock music scene in Indonesia has quite a long history and legendary bands and musicians. Unfortunately, in general, it has been dominated by male bands and musicians with few female performers, although back in the 1960s and 70s we had a legendary all-female rock band named Dara Puspita.”

With that in mind, Hikmawan described VOB as “the new generation of the Indonesian rock music scene”.

“They started their careers from the bottom, and developed dynamically. Their appearance wearing hijab [the Muslim headscarf] has not stopped them from continuing to play rock and metal music, even though many people have criticised them, especially from conservative circles.”

These “conservative circles” included the women’s own families, who were hesitant in the beginning.

Marysa’s parents banned her from playing music and, one evening when she came home late after performing at a festival, she found that she had been locked out of her house as punishment.

“I had to sit outside for hours before they unlocked the door,” she says, laughing at the memory.

In Widi’s case, her older sister did not want her to attend music festivals, telling her that she was “ruining her future” by playing metal music, a sentiment echoed by Siti’s family who branded her new musical career “an unserious hobby”.

But as the band’s fame grew, their families had a change of heart.

“It was when they saw us on local TV for the first time that they started to support us,” Widi said.

‘Moral responsibility’

The band get inspiration for their music from their personal experiences, and some of their songs are direct responses to the criticisms that women should not play heavy metal.

Siti, Marsya and Widi (left to right)/ They are dressed mainly in black with black headscarves. Widi is wearing denim overalls as well, while Siti and Marsya have added a colourful waist coat and jacket respectively

Marysa’s favourite song is, What’s the Holy (Nobel) today, which she says is about ignoring haters and “surrendering to a higher power” while Siti favours their 2021 hit, the pointedly named, God allow me (please) to play music.

Before they go on stage, the band pray and spend time together as a trio without outside interruptions, something that Marysa said is important “to foster their chemistry as a band” – although they continue to have their differences.

Asked if they ever argue, the women collapse into giggles. They argue about many things, Marysa says, but usually these are trivial, such as what they want to eat for dinner.

The women lived together for three years in Jakarta from 2020 to 2023 before they split from their record label and became an independent band. When asked what prompted this decision, they answer in typical metal fashion.

“We are too wild and can’t be controlled,” Widi says with a laugh.

They are happy to be back in Garut, for now, where the weather is cooler and the atmosphere calmer than Jakarta, but becoming independent has also brought its own challenges. They have had to run their social media themselves and are also building a studio in Garut which needs to be project managed, in addition to planning a tour Indonesia, having previously toured in France, the Netherlands and the United States.

While they find life in Garut more peaceful in many ways, there has been pushback in the conservative regency, as well as online, with the women regularly receiving threatening messages. Are they concerned that people may actually hurt them?

“I’m very worried that it could happen,” Marysa admitted.

Once, when the vocalist was on her way home from band practice in Garut, someone threw a rock at her. She did not go to practice again for a week. Siti has also received hateful comments online, mostly in the form of body shaming, with trolls branding her “too short and too fat” and commenting on her skin.

“They said that, as an international musician, I should watch my diet, then they bullied me about my acne, saying that I should have the money to get it treated.”

When this happens, Siti talks to her bandmates about the comments.

“They usually tell me to ignore them and point out that the people making the comments are ugly too,” she said, laughing. “By the next day, I have usually forgotten about them.”

Widi said that trolls also like to attack her skills as a bass player.

“They tell me that there are many bass players who are better than me and ask why I am even bothering to play. Usually I reply and tell them that I am going to keep playing whatever they say.”

Marysa also points out the obvious sexism in the kinds of comments they receive. Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation, has thousands of male rock, punk and metal bands who are never accused of doing something that is haram or forbidden in Islam.

“In Garut there are so many male bands and they never have any problems. It is so contradictive,” Marsya said.

When asked what the future holds for VOB, Siti’s message is simple.

“When I play music. It makes me happy and I can also support myself and my family financially. So it is such a positive thing for me. We will keep playing for as long as we can,” she said.

“I will play music until I don’t want to any more,” added Marsya.

The crowd at Worthy Farm in Glastonbury. There are lots of people in front of the stage. There are flags and pennants

For now however, they are focusing on Glastonbury, and are planning on camping during the festival so they can fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere of Worthy Farm.

They are also busy designing their costumes for the show which will feature traditional fabrics from Garut and Indonesian motifs including the country’s crimson and white flag.

Within the vortex of controversy that has always surrounded the trio, the women are cognisant of the weight that comes with the June 28 performance.

“It is a lot of pressure and we feel a moral responsibility,” Marysa said.  “It is not just our name up there on stage, but our country’s as well.”

Megadeth 'actively working' on new album with David Ellefson's replacement

Megadeth are "actively working" on their next studio album.

The Thrash metal legends have been busy in the studio making the follow-up to 2022's 'The Sick, the Dying... and the Dead!'
