Playing session bass on the album is the phenomenal Steve DiGiorgio, known for his work with bands such as Testament, Sadus, Death, Obituary and Autopsy. After the album was recorded James LoMenzo rejoined the band as its new bassist. What a drummer he is and I am so glad he has been given the room to add his musical talent to the songwriting and the studio performance. Dirk really makes his own mark on the album. The band has always had great drummers, but here the drums are more varied and more prominent than we have heard in a long while. I don’t think that drums have played such a vital part in Megadeth’s music since Gar Samuelson’s days in the band. The former Soilwork drummer has been in the band for six years now, but this is his first record with Megadeth. And Dirk Verbeuren! Dirk’s presence behind the drum kit is awesome and takes this to another level. His guitar work on this album, his second with Megadeth, is career-defining. Kiko’s technical skills are obviously world-class and I think that his power metal background has helped shape him into a terrifically well-rounded player that what we normally don’t hear in thrash metal. Kiko has been a critical vitamin injection and his guitar playing fits so well with Mustaine’s. But, boy, it certainly was the right move. Recruiting the Brazilian guitarist from power metal band Angra was on paper perhaps not an obvious move. Guitarist Kiko Loureiro is on fire and has established himself far ahead of most of the competition when it comes to guitar heroes in the thrash metal genre. He’s giving it his all and it shines through the music. I love his characteristic voice, but on these studio recordings, he has somehow stepped it up a couple of notches. His vocals are the best they have ever been. Having battled throat cancer during the early part of the process of creating this album, the band’s 16 th studio album, he comes out fighting like a champion. ![]() Wow! Exquisite! Megadeth main man Dave Mustaine is not holding back on the band’s new album. ![]()
