Dave Mustaine, the leader of Megadeth, pioneer of Thrash Metal, maintains absolute confidence in the future of Heavy Metal, and insists on the resilience and unalterable appeal of this musical genre. In a recent interview with Diario El Salvador, Mustaine reflected on the trajectory of the genre, highlighting its ability to overcome difficulties and emerge stronger.
In response to concerns about the evolution of heavy metal, Mustaine said: “As long as people make good records, there’s no need to worry”. He acknowledged the setbacks of the past, particularly in the 1990s, when metal’s authenticity was called into question, but he was optimistic about the genre’s current vitality and robustness.
Megadeth, one of the pillars of the genre, continues to lead the charge with its latest album, The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead, released less than two years ago to critical acclaim. With the announcement of a 33-date American tour, including stops in major cities such as Los Angeles, Boston and Nashville, Megadeth reaffirms its sustainability within the metal scene.
Megadeth’s recent lineup change, with the arrival of Finnish guitarist Teemu Mäntysaari, marks a new chapter in the band’s career.
