Dave Mustaine shared a preview of the next Megadeth album in a recent Cameo for a fan.

In the video, which was posted to YouTube, Mustaine plays a clip of a track called “Life in Hell” as a special holiday treat for the Cameo recipient.

“I think that makes you the first person in the outside world, outside of the studio and the band and my family, that’s heard any music from the new record,” Mustaine tells the fan.

Megadeth’s next album, titled The Sick, the Dying…and the Dead!, is expected to arrive in spring 2022. It’s the follow-up to 2016’s Dystopia, and will be Megadeth’s first record to follow the firing of bassist David Ellefson, who was let go from the band after sexually explicit videos of him leaked online.
