MEGADETH To Release 'Washington Is Next!' As Next Single

April 21, 2007

MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has posted the following message in the "Forums" section of the band's official web site:

"I am starting the pack for the road and really look forward to playing in the States for you again [as part of the HEAVEN AND HELL tour with MACHINE HEAD]. I know that the boys are packing and pacing back and forth too right now, and we can probably all count the hours before we take the stage again.

"This segment of the tour 'promises' to allow more time for us to play to you, so those of you who saw the Canadian leg, and had concerns about our set-length can 'come on down' and join us if you missed us. Also, as some of you have seen on Megadeth.com and myspace/megadeth, we have a new and beautiful video with Cristina Scabbia [LACUNA COIL] for 'A Tout Le Monde' and I hope you like it. We are happy with it, and this all came out of an idea to re-do this for a 'b-side for Japan.' And while the title change was not my idea, believe me, being able to see a label excited is nice.

"And now it is time to get serious about this record. We are doing some final maneuvers with our last stretch of promotion before the release, and I have been busy on the old 'dog and bone' with Andy Sneap working on our edit for the single 'Washington Is Next!'

"Ah, the inner workings of the guessing games we have to play."

MEGADETH's video for the new version of the song "A Tout Le Monde", now retitled "A Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free)", is available for viewing at Megadeth.com. A video clip of Cristina Scabbia talking about the video shoot for "A Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free)", which took place March 8-9 in Los Angeles, has been posted online at this location.

"A Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free)" will appear on MEGADETH's new album, "United Abominations", due on May 15 via Roadrunner Records. A professionally shot video clip of MEGADETH performing "Washington is Next!" on October 14, 2006 at the Loud Park '06 festival in Tokyo, Japan has been posted online at YouTube.com. A rough-mix version of "Gears of War", is available for download at this location.
