MEGADETH SIGNS WITH ROADRUNNER

Posted on February 12, 2008

Roadrunner Records is proud to announce the signing of Megadeth. Holy Toledo, did I just say Megadeth? Good God, we signed Mega-fucking-deth!!! Recognised as one of rock’s most forward-thinking bands, Megadeth and its frontman Dave Mustaine have cast a long shadow on the metal and hard rock landscape with millions of records sold worldwide and an undeniable influence echoed in scores of young bands today. “We are proud to be working with one of the chief architects of modern hard rock and metal: Dave Mustaine. Megadeth and Roadrunner have led parallel careers on the cutting edge of metal for years now. The combination of the two is bound to be lethal,” says A&R man, Mike Gitter. Mustaine says of his new home “It is exciting to be some place you are respected, understood and appreciated. The truth is there’s a lot of people I’ve known there over the years. I’m stoked we’re all coming back together again to work on this project.” Megadeth has begun work on its as-yet-untitled Roadrunner debut under the watchful eye of Mustaine and co-producer Jeff Balding (who helmed 2004’s The System Has Failed).
