‘Megadeth’ The Legendary Band’s Self-Titled Final Studio Album Is Out Today

DATE: JANUARY 23, 2026

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN/MITCH SCHNEIDER

‘MEGADETH’
THE LEGENDARY BAND’S
SELF-TITLED FINAL STUDIO ALBUM
IS OUT TODAY (JANUARY 23)

ALBUM ARTWORK

Six months after announcing its release, today (January 23) marks the debut of MEGADETH’s self-titled final studio album and the initial critical acclaim is one befitting the Grammy Award-winning and multi-platinum metal titans (see the pull quotes below). Meanwhile, last night (January 22), MEGADETH’s cinematic legacy event MEGADETH: BEHIND THE MASK via Trafalgar Releasing debuted on screens worldwide. Watch the trailer here.

Leading up to the new album (out via DAVE MUSTAINE’s Tradecraft imprint in partnership with Frontiers Label Group’s new BLKIIBLK label), MEGADETH—Mustaine, Teemu Mäntysaari (Lead, Rhythm, and Acoustic Guitars), James LoMenzo (Bass Guitar) and Dirk Verbeuren (Drums)—have released four singles: “Puppet Parade,” “Let There Be Shred!”, “I Don’t Care,” and “Tipping Point.” MEGADETH also announced a very special bonus track from the album: a reimagined version of “Ride The Lightning,” which MUSTAINE co-wrote with Metallica’s James Hetfield, Cliff Burton, and Lars Ulrich and was the title track from the group’s 1984 album.

Here’s some initial critical acclaim on the album:

“After more than 40 guitar-shredding years, Megadeth is going out on their own thunderous terms. The Grammy-winning thrash metal pioneers’ self-titled 17th and final studio album, out Friday, quickly establishes that this is no sappy farewell…oozes classic Megadeth with blistering guitar solos, crunchy riffs and some mile-a-second double-bass…Megadeth sends Mustaine and Co. out with one of their lengthy catalog’s best all-around releases.”
—ASSOCIATED PRESS, 1/20

“Megadeth Sign Off With Final Last Blast Of Undeniable Riffs & Shredding On Eponymous Album…Joined by Teemu Mäntysaari on guitar, James LoMenzo on bass, and Dirk Verbeuren on drums, Mustaine unleashes one last onslaught of aggressive thrash. If Dupuytren’s contracture is already affecting Mustaine’s playing, it’s not apparent on Megadeth. Mustaine and Mäntysaari tear through complex, heavy riffs and blistering solos with speed and precision…The final Megadeth album delivers those last notes. One last collection of metal aggression. One last testament to fretboard mastery. One last chance to appreciate one of metal’s greatest guitarists.”
—GLIDE MAGAZINE, 1/21

“Whether the song hits fast and ferocious or mid-paced and menacing, this eponymous audio book in 11 chapters is peppered with intricate elements at almost every point…The album’s pacing feels like a nostalgic back-and-forth: fast thrash blowouts, chunky mid-tempo crushers, then another burst that drags you back into the pit. And the standout moments keep stacking up…For a band that has announced that the end of the trail is well within sight, Mustaine and company have definitely opted to go out with a bang…if this truly is the end, it’s hard to imagine a better send-off.”
—SONIC PERSPECTIVES, 1/21

“…it definitely is a great modern nod to what Megadeth is still excellent at. Starting with the tune ‘Tipping Point,’ it tells fans how impressive it is that each guitar solo and arrangement can be as intricate and different as they are after seventeen studio albums…a bunch of quality Megadeth songs that send the band out with a bang.”
—CRYPTIC ROCK, 1/19

“From start to finish it’s undeniably unapologetic…The rhythm playing is more than up to snuff as Mustaine is laser focused to write his last array of devastating chugging rhythms. Something vital to bring up is the delivery & sound of Dave’s voice. He might sound better than he did on the masterful Dystopia. Mustaine is in complete control & it shows…It would appear that Mustaine visited the fountain of youth for inspiration. His guitar rhythms on the album display nimbleness (there are plenty of single notes mixed with palm-muting), thunderous chugging, and slick key changes at will…Megadeth will go out with a bang.”
—THE METAL PIT, 1/20

Up next for MEGADETH, they’ll kick off their farewell tour in North America with a cross-country headlining tour of Canada launching February 15 in Victoria, BC and include stops in Calgary, Winnipeg, and Ottawa before wrapping March 6 in Quebec City, QC.

About Megadeth

MEGADETH are always and forever the point of no return for metal. It would be nearly impossible to conceive where heavy music and culture would’ve gone without the band founded, fronted, and fueled by vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, and producer Dave Mustaine. The blast radius of their impact has only magnified since 1983. Thus far, they have sold 50 million records worldwide, received a GRAMMY® Award (with 12 additional nominations), generated billions of streams, notched seven Top 10 entries on the Billboard 200, and enthralled millions of diehard fans in arenas and stadiums across the globe. Their catalog spans indisputable classics such as the platinum Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? (cited at #8 on Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time”), the platinum Rust In Peace, and double-platinum Countdown To Extinction, which captured #2 on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, Dystopia notched a Top 3 debut and earned a GRAMMY® Award in the category of “Best Metal Performance” with its title track. They only upped the ferocity with The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! in 2022. It saw them return to #3, receive a “Best Metal Performance” GRAMMY® Award nomination for “We’ll Be Back,” and incite rave reviews. Their influence can be felt practically everywhere—whether it be Post Malone proudly sporting a tattoo of “So Far, So Good… So What!,” Homer Simpson’s iPod displaying their moniker during an episode, or Showtime’s smash hit series Billions and Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey utilizing MEGADETH in plot points. The band have delivered simultaneously relevant and timeless records in five decades now, setting the pace for the thrash renaissance of the eighties, tearing through the MTV years of the nineties with swagger and style, maintaining their stride in the post-Y2K 2000s, elevating to canonical heights in the social media and streaming era of the 2010s, and unassumingly harnessing the uncertainty and unease of the Post-Pandemic world into their boldest, biggest, and best work yet.

Along the way, MEGADETH extended their influence even further. During 2016, the band entered the spirits world with their very first signature beer À Tout Le Monde followed by Saison 13 in 2019. The brand asserted itself as a player in the beverage space and impressively moved over 15 million pints. Joining forces with Keystone in 2025, they ignite the next phase of Megadeth Beer on the biggest global platform yet.

Beyond his role as a music icon, Dave founded the visionary wine brand HOUSE OF MUSTAINE which uniquely blends music, culture, and fine winemaking. The brand launched with the 2013 Symphony Interrupted Cabernet Sauvignon which was inspired by Dave Mustaine’s groundbreaking collaboration with the San Diego Symphony.

KillerStar founders Rob Fleming and James Sedge started the band to channel their passion for ‘70s art-rock and modern alternative sounds, while fate drew a phenomenal team of stellar David Bowie collaborators into their world. That resulted in glowing reviews for their self-titled debut from MOJO, The Times and RnR and sold-out live shows in the UK and USA. Now they look ahead to the March 20 release of their second album THE AFTERGLOW (High Wire Records) by today (January 23) sharing its title track as their new single. Listen to “The Afterglow” HERE and watch the video HERE.

After the swaggering first single “So Easy,” KillerStar hit harder with the potent, high-tempo “The Afterglow.” Its driving intensity and soaring hook make for an instantly captivating anthem, but it also provides the space for all its musicians to shine. Earl Slick’s lead guitar is irresistible: a free-flowing balance between pure melody and a gritty edge from a man currently commemorating the 50th anniversary of his work on Bowie’s classic album Station To Station. There’s also wonderfully unorthodox keys from Mike Garson (Aladdin Sane, Young Americans and more), while soaring backing vocals from The Webb Sisters (Leonard Cohen, David Gilmour) provide a counterpoint to Rob Fleming’s strident lead.
This is all underpinned by a rock-solid groove driven by James Sedge’s drums, Fleming’s crunchy rhythm guitar and virtuoso bass playing by Mark Plati (Bowie’s album Earthling, among many others)

Rob Fleming says, “‘The Afterglow’ is the title track from our new album of the same name. The song aims to invoke that euphoric glow/feeling you get after watching a great live show or playing music onstage. We feel this is reflected in the energy of the playing on this song, all musicians playing as one serving the song, it propels forward at pace sprinkled with some ear worm riffs and hooks.”

This song and all the album’s tunes were written by Rob Fleming, with James Sedge, and the duo produced the set alongside Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, The Who) who also mixed the album. The album sessions feature several other contributors too, including acclaimed solo artist Emm Gryner, Gerry Leonard (musical director and guitarist for Bowie’s “Heathen” tour), Alfio Annibali (Alex Lifeson’s Envy Of None), Dom Beken (Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets), and Carey Frank (Bruce Springsteen).

The album was completed with digital mastering courtesy of Joe La Porta at Sterling Sound and vinyl mastering by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. It was recorded between London, New York and Los Angeles during sessions at studios including RAK, The Clubhouse, Strongroom and Dean Street Studios—the latter of which was famously owned by Tony Visconti and was where he completed work on Bowie’s album Scary Monsters.

“The Afterglow” single is available to stream on all digital platforms or download HERE. There is also a limited edition 7 inch single available for PreOrder HERE.

THE AFTERGLOW album is available to pre-order / pre-save HERE. It will be released on limited edition silver vinyl, regular black vinyl, CD and digital formats.

Meanwhile, KillerStar will return to the 100 Club in London to play two special album launch shows on March 6 and 7. Tickets are available HERE. All three of their previous shows at the venue have sold-out.

DELUXE EDITION OF SIXTH STUDIO ALBUM
‘X’S FOR EYES’
ON MARCH 6

NEW VIDEO FOR “ANGELS CRY”
OUT TODAY VIA BETTER NOISE MUSIC

Downloadable cover artwork HERE

5X Platinum-certified alternative rock mainstays THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS (@redjumpsuitapparatus) are excited to announce the deluxe edition of their sixth album, X’s For Eyes, due out March 6 via Better Noise Music. Pre-orders are available now HERE. Also today (January 23), the band have shared “Angels Cry,” a new, unreleased track. Listen to “Angels Cry” HERE and watch the video, directed by Shane Drake at Say So Pictures with additional production by Michael Lombardi from Better Noise, HERE.

Singer and frontman Ronnie Winter describes “Angels Cry” as “a bittersweet story of love and loss in early teenage years. As an adult, I’ve learned these things are natural, but when you are young it feels like the end of the world. Turns out it was just the beginning.”

“Angels Cry” follows the release of the single “Perfection” from X’s For Eyes and its video directed by Shane Drake (Panic! At The Disco, Paramore). The album’s other singles and videos are:

“X’s For Eyes”: stream/download the song HERE and watch the video HERE
“Slipping Through (No Kings)”: stream/download the song HERE and watch the video HERE
“Home Improvement”: stream/download the song HERE and watch the video HERE

Originally released on October 3, 2025 via Better Noise Music, the 11 songs on X’s For Eyes find the band revving up their caffeinated pop sensibilities, throwing down the punishing riffola, delivering more electronic and ambient flourishes, and topping all of it off with Winter’s high-pitched emoting. Factor in some hair-raising cameos from Sleeping With Sirens’ Kellin Quinn (“Always The King”) and Escape The Fate frontman Craig Mabbitt (“Worth It”) and the result is genuinely RJA’s most strident full-length offering yet.

Formed in 2004 in Jacksonville, FL, the band has accrued Gold and multi-Platinum singles—including their massive 5x Platinum hit single “Face Down” (which has over 176 million views on YouTube), 2x Platinum “Your Guardian Angel” (which has over 37 million views on YouTube)—and 2x Platinum-certified debut album, DON’T YOU FAKE IT, alongside numerous high-ranking radio chart positions and a robust digital history of over 1.5 billion career streams. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS began their expedition into the hearts and minds of a generation 20 years ago. Their blazing 2006 single “Face Down” delivered both anthemic choruses and a strident message about domestic abuse, achieving both sales accolades and adoration from crowds all over the planet.

Here’s the track listing for the X’s For Eyes deluxe edition:

Always The King (feat Kellin Quinn)
Purple Halo
Perfection
X’s for Eyes
Bad Beat
Slipping Through (No Kings)
Angels Cry

BETTER NOISE MUSIC Kicks off 2026 With Big Radio and Chart Success

DT: JANUARY 23, 2026

FM: AMANDA CAGAN, MITCH SCHNEIDER / SRO PR

BETTER NOISE MUSIC (THE ARTIST DEVELOPMENT COMPANY)
TAKE THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT“DARK THOUGHTS”
TO THEIR THIRD #1 BILLBOARD AND MEDIABASE SINGLE
A FEAT THAT’S ONLY HAPPENED 4 OTHER TIMES IN CHART HISTORY

SAME WEEK THAT BETTER NOISE MUSIC NEW SIGNING SABATON
ACHIEVE THEIR FIRST EVER BILLBOARD TOP 10 WITH
“CROSSING THE RUBICON” FEATURING NOTHING MORE

BETTER NOISE MUSIC
UNDERLINES AND CONFIRMS ITS POSITION AS
“THE ARTIST DEVELOPMENT COMPANY”

BETTER NOISE MUSIC has kicked off 2026 by delivering massive radio and chart success for its artists including SABATON, NOTHING MORE, and THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT while laying the groundwork for impending new releases from FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, FROM ASHES TO NEW, THE HU, IN THIS MOMENT, EVA UNDER FIRE, DIRTY HEADS and YELLOWCARD

This is a big moment for THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT, who join the very small Three-In-A-Row-Streak–Club at Mainstream Rock Airplay from their debut radio single “Suffocate City,” featuring Spencer Charnas, (#1 in 2024) , “Holy Water,” featuring Ivan Moody, (#1 in 2025) and now “Dark Thoughts” (#1 in 2026).

According to Billboard, other Debut-Three-#1’s-In-A-Row-Club members are 3 Doors Down, The Pretty Reckless, Jelly Roll and Falling In Reverse.

The same week that The Funeral Portrait hit #1, label band mates, SABATON (@sabatonofficial), the #1 Global Power Metal Band, charge into the Top 10 on the Billboard “Mainstream Rock Airplay” chart this week with “Crossing the Rubicon” featuring NOTHING MORE (released September 12, 2025), marking Sabaton’s first-ever appearance on the chart, and their first Billboard Chart top 10. Watch Sabaton’s video for “Crossing The Rubicon” from the album Legends HERE and stream/download the track HERE.

The Funeral Portrait and Sabaton chart success has reinforced Better Noise Music’s position as “The Artist Development Company” and built on the label’s other Radio/Chart/Streaming/Press/Marketing/Development successes.

These radio hits follow on from NOTHING MORE album CARNAL which produced four #1 active rock hits in a row through 2024 and 2025, and YELLOWCARD’S 2025 Alternative #1 hit “Better Days”.

Better Noise Music President/COO Steve Kline says: “Sabaton’s breakthrough into the Top 10 is a huge milestone, that reflects the band’s broad appeal. This achievement also speaks to the strength of our artist development efforts. Congratulations to Jackie Kajzer for leading the charge on radio and helping Sabaton reach this exciting new level.”

CEO Dan Waite added “The success of Sabaton and The Funeral Portrait, come the same week that YELLOWCARD’s follow up single “BEDROOM POSTERS” featuring Joel Madden of Good Charlotte, and produced by Blink182’s Travis Barker, is MOST ADDED at ALTERNATIVE. Sabaton’s Top 10, is the perfectly timed (and deliberately planned), set up for Sabaton’s US tour which starts 9^th February, following on from their European Headline arena tour. With our new signings announced and more to be announced, 2026 is off to a strong artist development start”.

ABOUT RYAN WATERS

For those that know country newcomer Ryan Waters, his story is defined by a quintessential country upbringing, an unequivocal work ethic, and a genuine relatability. Born and raised in the small town of Luverne, Alabama, Waters had a typical southern childhood. “Luverne’s population is only 2,500 people. It’s one of those towns where everyone knows everything about everyone, and you always do the right thing — because everyone will know if you do the wrong thing.” Early in high school, though no one in his immediate family had any musical inclination aside from his grandmother, who passed when he was young, Waters picked up a guitar for the first time — and that’s where his propensity for hard work kicked in. “My parents put me in lessons, but I quit those quickly. Instead, I’d watch YouTube videos and learn from those. I remember I was dead set on learning ‘Sweet Child of Mine’ by Guns and Roses and would play and play until I had it nailed down.” Waters then started singing to the tunes he was playing. “My voice, in the beginning, was terrible. Your voice is an instrument, and I’d never used mine. I also couldn’t quite get it to line up with the chords I was strumming… So, I just worked at it until I could.” Around that time, Waters began dabbling in songwriting, and as his senior year of college approached — unsure of his direction in life — he dropped out and headed north to Music City.

Sure, the move would put him on the map, Waters learned quickly why Nashville’s been coined the “ten-year town.” “I traveled back and forth a good bit between Troy and Nashville, ultimately finished my degree, and continued writing songs all along. I wasn’t sure if they were good, bad, whatever… I just wrote. I would teach during the week and play bars on the weekends. It was a grind.” One day, at the advice of his sister, Waters tried his hand at TikTok, and the rest is history. “When my sister first brought up TikTok, I said ‘there’s no way I’m going to film a video of myself and post it to social media.’ But one day, I’d just written a song with my producer called ‘Chevrolet You Down,’ and I don’t know what came over me, but I said ‘screw it’ — I got home, propped my phone on the tailgate of my truck, and lip-synched to my song. I posted the video and captioned it ‘should I drop this or nah.’” The reaction to the post was beyond anything Waters could have imagined: the next morning, the video had over 1 million views, and “Chevrolet You Down” itself (which Waters quickly released following his viral success) saw over 6,500 pre-saves, over 9 million streams on Spotify, and landed at #3 on the coveted iTunes chart — behind two Morgan Wallen tunes. “That was the first time I caught myself thinking, ‘man — this could really be a career for me.’”

The momentum put Waters back in Nashville — this time for good — and he immersed himself in his craft. He’s had a string of streaming successes, including 2021’s “Tomorrow’s Not Tonight,” which has over 10 million Spotify streams, and his cover of “Chasing Cars” (2023) — which has over 7 million streams. Drawing sonic and lyrical inspiration from artists like Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, and Kameron Marlowe, and his experiences living a small-town life, Waters is primed to be a major influence in the world of country music — a hard-earned feat. “There are a lot of people that have been an overnight viral sensation but have never been on a stage. I’m thankful for all the 3–4 hour shows I have under my belt and all the prep I’ve done. I know as this takes off, I won’t be scared of the moment. I’ll enjoy it.”

ABOUT BIKINI BULL RIDING LADIES’ NIGHT

On the second Wednesday of every month, Bikini Bull Riding Ladies Night features $3 drinks for ladies. All bull riding participants receive a free bikini from Stoney’s North Forty, and ladies can compete for $500 in cash prizes.

ABOUT HAYDEN COFFMAN

Singer/Songwriter Hayden Coffman has quickly emerged as one of country music’s most compelling independent success stories. With a soulful voice, smooth delivery, and emotionally honest songwriting, Coffman connects with fans through songs that feel both deeply personal and universally relatable. Hailing from Knoxville, Tennessee, his sound is rooted in country tradition while embracing a modern edge that reflects today’s listeners.

Driven by relentless work ethic and creative passion, Coffman has built a powerful fanbase through a steady stream of releases and authentic storytelling. His breakout single “Better Off” recently earned Gold certification, marking a major milestone in his career. To date, Hayden has amassed over 283 million all-time streams, a testament to his growing impact and resonance with audiences worldwide.

Along the way, Coffman has been featured as the face of Spotify’s “Fresh Finds Country” and “Next From Nashville” playlists, alongside support from Amazon’s “Breakthrough Country” and TIDAL’s “Country Rising.” Additionally, he has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing unsigned country artists in the U.S., landing in the Top 3 on Spotify and Top 5 on YouTube growth rankings. As an independent artist, he has also earned multiple Top 10 iTunes chart debuts, further solidifying his momentum.

As his artistry continues to evolve, Hayden Coffman stands at the forefront of a new generation of country artists — honoring the genre’s roots while confidently pushing it forward.
