United Abominations (2007) |
|
United Abominations is the title of the 11th studio album from the American thrash metal band, Megadeth. The album is currently scheduled to be released on May 15, 2007. The album art features a new incarnation of Vic Rattlehead chosen from a deviantart contest, the entry which finished in 11th place.
The album title is a play on United Nations and the album cover features the United Nations building being destroyed. It is possible to see the album cover as a reference to the Peace Sells...But Who's Buying? cover, which depicts the United Nations building after a nuclear war.
The album was scheduled for release on October 31, 2006. In August 2006, frontman Dave Mustaine recently told Billboard.com that the album has been pushed back to early 2007. "We're putting the finishing touches on it," Mustaine told Billboard.com. "We've got a little more work before it's finished, but it should be out some time next year." [1] It was later confirmed for May 15, 2007. [1]
Some members of the Megadeth Fanclub were allowed to listen to the songs of United Abominations in the recording studio.
The first track of United Abominations, Sleepwalker, is available for free download on the official Megadeth website.
