MEGADETH has released the official music video for the song “Life In Hell”, taken from the band’s latest studio album, “The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!” Titled “Life In Hell: Chapter IV”, the video is the fourth and latest instalment of the band’s epic multi-part short film revealing the origins of the band’s iconic mascot Vic Rattlehead.
The rapid-fire onslaught of MEGADETH’s “Life in Hell” is one of the heavy-hitting Thrash songs on the best-selling album “The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!” This quintessential MEGADETH track showcases the band’s tight musical precision and songwriting prowess – co-written by Dave Mustaine and drummer Dirk Verbeuren, and enhanced with Kiko Loureiro’s stylistic six-string flourishes, “Life in Hell” features seamless tempo and time signature shifts as MEGADETH continues to set the bar for modern and classic metal alike.
“The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!” was released on September 2nd, 2022. Featuring some of Mustaine’s strongest songwriting while also incorporating writing from the rest of the band, the album brings together everything that’s exhilarating and distinctive about MEGADETH. From the blistering throwback fury of “Night Stalkers” (featuring icon Ice-T) and first single “We’ll Be Back”, to the more mid-tempo and melodic “Soldier On!”, and the very personal title track, with its enthralling twists and turns.
“The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!” melds the ultra-frenetic riffing, fiercely intricate solos, and adventurous spirit the quartet are known for, all laced with signature virtuosity and precision and Mustaine’s singular sardonic snarl. This album combines all the crushing musical motifs that have made MEGADETH both repeat Μetal disruptors and revered genre flagbearers.
