six years past since the previous studio longplay is a fact that might bring anxiety for fans, but it was mostly affected by the pandemic and turbulence around the bass player position, what was eventually magically fixed by hands of four string master Steve DiGiorgio - twelve chapter recording was started yet in 2019, while its contents are far more diverse than over aggressive previous album, with a highly intricate conceptual line that follows through both the lyrics and the promotional videos, telling the prehistory rise of the band mascot Vic Rattlehead with a help of time machine; so, with youthful aggression aplenty at least in half of these cuts, where refined solos of Kiko Loureiro give an extra push and vivid dynamic features to music, couple of milder songs remind that Megadeth is a crew that unites but not separates the metal community; exclusive German gatefold sleeve double black 180g vinyl edition with a special 3D effect lenticular album cover print, extra We'll Be Back 7"EP single, also featuring live version of The Conjuring, and pro-printed inner sleeves is limited to 13000 hand-numbered units, copy #06783
