Below can be seen the new video clip for the title-track Super Collider taken from the fourteenth studio album by American heavy metal band Megadeth. Super Collider was released on June 4, 2013 and is Megadeth's first album to be released on Mustaine's own label, Tradecraft, after the band's split with Roadrunner Records. The album has been met with a largely negative reception by critics. However, it debuted at number six on the Billboard 200, making Super Collider the band's highest charting album since 1994's Youthanasia.

Metal guitar legend Chris Poland (ex Megadeth / OHM) has contributed a guest guitar solo to the new album Belt Buckles and Brass Knuckles, from popular Nashville based rock band Moccasin Creek. Poland plays lead on the hard driving track “Only Warning,” which is scheduled to be one of the singles off the album.
Moccasin Creek have taken the rock underground by storm, releasing three full length albums in less than two years. The band has close ties to the heavy metal world, with previous albums having guest appearances from Glen Alvelais (Testament / Forbidden) and Tom Klimchuck (Pro-Pain), and Klimchuck handling mixing duties for all Moccasin Creek recordings.
Moccasin Creek guitarist Charlie Bonnet III spent many years as part of the Tennessee based metal band Disarray, and now serves as co-manager for the career of metal legend Steve ‘Zetro’ Souza (Exodus / Hatriot). Belt Buckles and Brass Knuckles is available now on iTunes.

MEGADETH TO RE-LAUNCH ‘GIGANTOUR’ FOR FIRST TIME IN NEARLY FOUR YEARS IN EARLY 2012 WITH MOTÖRHEAD, VOLBEAT & LACUNA COIL
BAND GIVES TRIUMPHANT PERFORMANCE AT YANKEE STADIUM AT THE BIG 4
THIRTEENTH ALBUM, TITLED TH1RT3ENOUT VIA ROADRUNNER RECORDS NOVEMBER 1
MEGADETH, easily one of the most recognized and culturally significant names in hard rock music for the past three decades, are excited to re-launch for the first time since 2008 their critically acclaimed package festival GIGANTOUR. The multi-artist bill--with metal heavyweights MOTÖRHEAD, VOLBEAT and LACUNA COIL all personally picked by MUSTAINE--will kick off in early 2012 with dates tentatively set for late January through early March.GIGANTOUR was founded by MEGADETHfrontman DAVE MUSTAINE in 2005 and was last in the U.S. in May 2008. Stay tuned for official tour dates and on-sale information.
MEGADETH’sthirteenth album--appropriately titled TH1RT3EN--will be releasedNovember 1 via Roadrunner Records. On, TH1RT3EN, MUSTAINE and the band continue to sharpen their attack, taking down leaders who sell false truths; Megadethtap right 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.”
The band--singer/guitarist DAVE MUSTAINE, bassist DAVE ELLEFSON, guitaristCHRIS BRODERICK and drummer SHAWN DROVER--recently performed at Yankee Stadium for one of only two U.S. BIG 4 shows, with Metallica, Anthrax and Slayer. Of their performance, the New York Times’ Ben Ratliff said, “…as always, he [Mustaine] was fascinating to watch: serious and flinty-voiced, a generous and hard-working guitar player, as he traded off solos with Chris Broderick…(9/15/11).” Jim Farber of the New York Daily News said, “Songs performed here, like ‘Peace Sells...But Who's Buying’ ideally calibrated melody and mania. ‘Symphony Of Destruction’ remains a classic of crunch. Such songs also boast an individual point of view, combinin g Mustaine's political rants with his psychological self-assaults.”
Dave Mustaine is proud of the music put forth on the new recording, saying, "This record is the culmination of my work over the 13 records I recorded. There are moments on TH1RT3ENthat capture my every emotion, and other moments where I am releasing feelings I never knew existed! My proudest moments of my musical career are captured on TH1RT3EN.” TH1RT3EN also marks the recorded return of bassist Dave Ellefson who was part of the band's classic lineup from 1983 to 2002. In a move that delighted the band's legion of diehards, Ellefson returned to performing live with Megadeth in early 2010 and has remained a fixture on the stage ever since. This is the first time Ellefson has played on a Megadeth record since 2002's Rude Awakening.
The new album’s title has several levels of meaning. Dave Mustaine, who first picked up an axe at the age of 13, told RollingStone.com (backstage at Yankee Stadium): "I was born on September 13th; this is my thirteenth record. It just seemed like it was the right thing to do to call it TH1RT3EN." See it here:or below.
GIGANTOUR is a chance to, as MUSTAINE says, tour with like-minded artists “that play heavy music in a high-energy environment,” with a fan-friendly ticket price. He founded the tour in 2005 and invited such artists as Anthrax, Dream Theater, Fear Factory, Lamb of God, Opeth, Static-X and In Flames to join MEGADETH. ForLACUNA COIL, GIGANTOUR 2012 marks a return to the tour, as they performed on the 2007 Australian tour; the Italian heavy metal group’s singer CRISTINA SCABBIAalso appeared on MEGADETH’s 2007 re-recording of their song “A Tout Le Monde” check it out below.
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 need no introduction. They've essentially written the book on heavy metal and hard rock, gaining momentum with each critically lauded release. In 2010, MUSTAINE released his first book, Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir, which hit the New York Times bestseller list in hardcover (and is now being re-released in paperback). In a review, the Toronto Globe & Mail said, “Dave Mustaine’s memoir is the narrative of a struggling, hard-won music career. It is also a story of survival, redemption and faith…Dave Mustaine is a legend in heavy metal; he has written music that has inspired generations of fans, and he has p roven that with faith, anything is possible. Transcending simple religion and music, Mustaine’s Heavy Metal Memoir will leave you moved and inspired (8/25/10).”

“PRIMITIVITY PLAYS MEGADETH FOR CELLO” salutes the state-of-the-art metal band Megadeth by reinventing passionate tracks of Mustaine-music through the intense and beautiful sound of the cello. The new album resurrects Megadeth classics like Symphony of Destruction and Train of Consequences, redefining them for cello. Thick power chords resonate through the opening of Skin O’ My Teeth while lush harmonies permeate the chorus of Addicted to Chaos and A Toute Le Monde. Speeding riffs and blistering solos reign during Hangar 18, while deep emotions are summoned during Forclosure of a Dream. Arranged, produced and performed solely by cellist Loren Westbrook-Fritts, “PRIMITIVITY PLAYS MEGADETH FOR CELLO” is passionately driven and uncompromising in its intentions to bring to life Megadeth through the unique voice of the cello.

On May 17, 1995, a U.S. Army veteran and unemployed plumber in San Diego, Shawn Timothy Nelson, snapped and stole an M60 Patton tank from a nearby National Guard Armory. He drove down the highway, crushing cars, fire hydrants and an RV before he was stopped and killed by police. More in noisecreep.
