MEGADETH Present New Beer, ‘Saison 13’

Megadeth beer

“Saison 13,” a new MEGADETH-branded beer has just been made available in select Canadian provinces and will be coming to the U.S. this September.

You can watch the video teaser below.

The band was forced to cancel all of their 2019 dates with the exception of Megacruise which is still going according to plan, due to frontman Dave Mustaine‘s cancer diagnoses.

In February, Mustaine talked about the new album with Kerrang.

“We’re trying to keep with that real heavy thing.” Dave said. Dystopia was more of us doing what makes us feel good; there’s a lot of super-heavy, fast drumming at the end of some songs.

“My son was in here two days ago, and when we were doing Dystopia, he was listening to the songs and making comments, and the ones he commented on were the ones that got the best response. When he came over this time, we were working on a song that has the tentative title ‘The Dogs Of Chernobyl’, and the intro riff has kind of a Hungarian guitar part, kind of like something MERCYFUL FATE did on ‘Into The Coven’. The song comes in super powerful and strong, and my son goes, ‘Oh god, that’s heavy as hell!’ and I just started laughing.”

MEGADETH‘s latest album, Dystopia opened with 48,000 copies, marking MEGADETH‘s highest-charting album since 1992’s Countdown To Extinction debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the chart dated August 1 of that year. Dystopia also logs the group’s best sales week since 2007, when United Abominations landed at No. 8 with first-week sales of 54,000.
