New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The MEGADETH unleashed their official single "Soldier On!" from their new studio album The Sick, The Dying…And The Dead! being released on
September 2, 2022, via UMe/Universal Music.
An instant MEGADETH classic, "Soldier On!" is an example - among many - of the band's ability to blend stylistic elements from both the metal AND rock ends of the musical spectrum. While MEGADETH are rightfully regarded as the world's 'State of the Art
Speed Metal Band', from their earliest days some of the band's biggest songs have arisen when they've let off the gas pedal, while still maintaining the aggression.
Dave Mustaine explains, "Coming to the realization that you need to walk away from a relationship that's very toxic, and how hard it can be to start down that road. But you know you need to, and just taking that first step is the hardest part.
Whatever your leaving does to them, you have to block that part out, stay the course and do what's right for you. It will be hard in the beginning, but you have got to live for yourself to be worth a damn to anyone else. You've got to Soldier On!"
MEGADETH's official single "Soldier On!" will be impacting Active Rock
Radio on August 16.
