Dave Mustaine has offered an update from the studio where Megadeth are currently recording their new album.

Speaking on the Megadeth forums, Mustaine has said: “Yesterday was a very productive day in the studio. Andy and I went through a lot of the riffs and set out on two distinct songs. I was still feeling pretty excited about the night before’s performance on the solo I did for Wayne Static of, you guessed it — Static-X, and even got an email back saying that he had a good time too. I can’t wait for you to hear this and tell me what you think of me going outside of my normal realm. I did, however, stay within the Megadeth classic style for these two new songs.”

Megadeth will hit the UK along with Testament as support for Judas Priest on the first ever Priest Feast. Get tickets to see Megadeth, Testament and Judas priest here.
