Megadeth’s thirteenth album–appropriately titled TH1RT3EN—was released November 1st via Roadrunner Records. On TH1RT3EN, Dave Mustaine and the band continue to sharpen their attack, taking down leaders who sell false truths; Megadeth taps into the collective paranoia of modern times. The new release follows up 2009’s Endgame, which was one of the most celebrated albums of the pioneering band’s storied career. Anticipation is high and fans are anxious for a taste of new music from the legends who have sold over 25 million albums globally throughout the course of their career. The album’s first single is the volcanic “Public Enemy No. 1.”
With nine Grammy nominations under their bullet belts and having enjoyed five consecutive platinum and multi-platinum certifications, as well as seven gold certifications during their career, Megadeth needs no introduction. They’ve essentially written the book on Heavy Metal and Hard Rock, gaining momentum with each critically lauded release.
Mohegan Sun Arena is ranked the 4th best venue by Billboard Magazine and was the 2008 and 2010 recipient of a Country Music Award for “Casino of The Year.” For more information on concerts and other great events at Mohegan Sun, visit mohegansun.com.
