Hear Megadeth Shred Guitar on ‘Dystopia’ Title Track

Dave Mustaine shares some of his worries about the decline of civilization in “Dystopia,” the title track of Megadeth’s new album out January 22nd. “There’s panic and there’s chaos rampant in the streets, where useless thoughts of peace are met with rage,” he snarls on the song. Musically, the mid-tempo track allows two of the group’s new recruits to show off their capabilities: guest drummer Chris Adler, of Lamb of God, sneaks in a few rumbling tom fills toward the end, while new lead guitarist Kiko Loureiro closes the track with classically influenced shred licks.
