Megadeth release new single ft Ice-T

"Its a brutal song. I can't remember if that it's the fastest one"

Megadeth Ice-T

California thrash-metal giants Megadeth has just released their second single off the band's upcoming sixteenth studio album. The Sick, The Dying... And The Dead will release through UMe on September 2nd.

Dave Mustain recently spoke about the track "Night Stalkers" with SiriusXM Liquid Metal host Jose Mangin:

"It's a brutal song. I can't remember if that was the fastest one [on the new album] or not. But 'Night Stalkers' is about the 160th Battalion with the United States Army, and it's all the black-ops helicopters that go in at night — nobody knows they're there; they're in, they're out. And I had my buddy Ice-T join me on a part in the middle of it, because Ice was a ranger for the army, and he did two tours over in Afghanistan, I think it was. I think that was back in '91, when I first met him. It might have been a little earlier than that, but I know he was a ranger. And I had just done something on his last record. But when I asked him, I thought it would be great to have him because of his bravado and then the fact that he's got real credibility as someone who was there. And then we've got several other guys to participate in the track just to make it as real as possible. We're going up to the base to go film a bunch of helicopter footage and sounds and stuff like that. We've got three videos that we're making for this record right now down in Brazil, and we're combining all that production and the stuff from the base, with the helicopters and everything together, to make this first three-song video offering up."

Cheesy like all thrash, but some pretty good rifgaye and shred. Was actually expecting a lot worse. Decent.

No way dude you can't say ALL thrash is cheesy - you're just not a thrash metal fan then?!... It's still vital and an art form searching for the ultimate heavy AF riffs!! Waste / Havoc etc. get into it!!

anonymous 7/22/2022 9:46:34 AM

Exodus isn't cheesy? "Toxic Waltz" is maybe the cheesiest thrash song of all time.

anonymous 7/22/2022 10:39:37 AM

Exodus isn't cheesy?

Dave .. you poor guy .. you must be still in cancer recovery. Brain still foggy. 1. USA was not in Afganistan in 91' 2. Ice-T did not serve 2 tours as a ranger 3. Ice-T was in the military briefly after high school but was stationed in Hawaii never went overseas Respect to both of you but come on now

^try harder-if you could be anymore unfunny-this site could run off of your lack of Charisma-and Alex Would Not have to Pay for his Site Servers: For The Next Two Decades!!!

Why doesn't Lurk just lock out evil heros username since he is actively trying to steer traffic away from the site? This cuck acts like his username compensates for his shitty life and personality. Its time to show him how small, worthless, and powerless he really is.

anonymous 7/22/2022 12:20:10 PM

I wasnt trying to be funny moron. 2 tours in afghanistan as a ranger is he stupid or are you

anonymous 7/22/2022 1:14:46 PM

What in the hell is Mustaine talking about? Does he really not remember the year 1991, when Ice-T was one of the biggest stars in hip-hop? Does he really think the dude, who put out his first record in like '86, was fighting overseas in a war that didn't exist?

anonymous 7/22/2022 1:24:11 PM

Wow this is awful

anonymous 7/22/2022 2:11:39 PM

^^ That's what I'm wondering. You can clearly tell he's not joking either so what is up with that. That's so far off you don't even know what to think. Even if you take out the Afghanistan 91' part, ICE-T was never in any overseas war or a Ranger. He just served at a base in Hawaii

anonymous 7/22/2022 6:03:33 PM

Mustain?

anonymous 7/22/2022 6:45:19 PM

I have a black friend

anonymous 7/23/2022 8:50:34 AM

anonymous 7/23/2022 2:25:36 PM

One Bullet Left is 1000 times better than this

anonymous 7/25/2022 4:58:23 AM

Southern Ice T Bell wears makeup

anonymous 7/28/2022 6:07:02 AM

"Ice" drives an eighty-six firebird complete with "T"-tops.
