I'm definitely looking forward to this album, and I know my brother is to because he's a guitarist and he and I are big Evile fans. Stay tuned for more updates including the definitive release date and the track listing for the album.  In the meantime though, a demo version of one of the album's tracks with the working title "Spaceship Janitor" is available for streaming.  Listen to it below.

Cronos comments:  "This album is perfect, all three members are totally over-the-top confident with the new songs and the production. We had a great atmosphere in the studio while we were recording.  Dante created pure thunder on the drums, while Rage tears the flesh off your face with his riffs, making everything fall into place so well.  It's a strong release and really shows the band maturing into an unstoppable force of pure Black Metal.  We can't wait to play the new songs live for the Legions...Hell Yeah!

Just as the aftermath of Christmas can be laced with reminders of gluttony and false cheer, so Venom will unleash a full throttle, full-length LP to drag you even further into HELL!  This is the heaviest Black Fuckin' Metal and is not for wimps."

This will be awesome!  Venom debuted one of the new songs back in the summer at the Amnesia Rock Festival in Montebello, Quebec, entitled "Rise", and even had the idea of recording the audience yelling "RISE" and including them on the album.  So who's ready for another dose of Black Fuckin' Metal from Venom?  We for sure are!

I want all of you to know how much I appreciate the amount that you the fans have accepted and respected me as a member of Megadeth for the last seven years, but it is time for me to move on.  I wish Dave (Mustaine) and everyone in Megadeth all the best. I am working on a few things of my own and hope that when they come out, you will all dig it."

2014 definitely seemed like a tough year for Megadeth as they haven't toured extensively like they used to, and they've experienced quite a number of setbacks, including the tragic passing of David Ellefson's brother in May, then a concert cancellation in Israel due to the Israel-Gaza conflict, then the cancellation of their appearance on Motorhead's Motorboat Cruise due to Dave Mustaine suffering complications from his spinal surgery, and if that's not enough, Mustaine's mother-in-law, who is suffering from Alzheimer's, went missing, and she's still missing as of today.  Not a good year for Megadeth.

We at Metal Master Kingdom would like to wish both Chris and Shawn all the best in their future musical endeavours, and hope that Dave's mother-in-law is alright and will be found soon and brought home safe and sound.  Megadeth are currently in the writing process for their fifteenth studio album, and plan to hit the studio early next year to record the album for a mid to late 2015 release.  Stay tuned for updates.

Shawn has released the following statement:  "After 10 years, I have decided to quit Megadeth to pursue my own musical interests.  I want to thank Dave Mustaine and the entire Megadeth family, as well as thanking all the amazing Megadeth fans around the world!!!  I truly appreciate all of you.  Stay tuned for info on my next musical journey."

Recently, Shawn has been teasing some of the new projects he has been working on, including an up and coming Canadian thrash band called Untimely Demise.  Check out his Facebook for details.  Megadeth have yet to release an official statement regarding the matter, but that should be coming shortly.  We would like to wish Shawn all the very best in his future musical endeavours, and thank you Shawn for all the great great music with Megadeth over the last 10 years.
