Megadeth - United Abominations album cover | |||||||||||||||
United Abominations is the title of the 11th studio album from the American thrash metal band, Megadeth. The album is currently scheduled to be released on May 15, 2007. The album art features a new incarnation of Vic Rattlehead chosen from a deviantart contest, the entry which finished in 11th place.
The album title is a play on United Nations and the album cover features the United Nations building being destroyed. The album cover may also be considered a reference to the Peace Sells...But Who's Buying? cover, which depicts the United Nations building after a nuclear war. The album was scheduled originally for release on October 31, 2006. In August 2006, frontman Dave Mustaine recently told Billboard.com that the album has been pushed back to early 2007. "We're putting the finishing touches on it," Mustaine told Billboard.com. "We've got a little more work before it's finished, but it should be out some time next year." It was later confirmed for May 15, 2007. Some members of the Megadeth Fanclub were allowed to listen to the songs of United Abominations in the recording studio, and fanclub members are also able to preorder the album from the Megadeth website and receive a signed lithograph and the bonus track "Black Swan". The first track of United Abominations, Sleepwalker, is available for free download on the official Megadeth website. The original first single from the album, "Set Me Free (A Tout Le Monde)", was released on April 17, 2007 and was made available on iTunes. A video for the song was also released. A few weeks after this, it was announced that the single would be changed to "Washington Is Next!". Currently, Mustaine and Andy Sneap are working on a radio edit for the song.
