ANNOUNCE DATES FOR “BLACKMAIL THE UNIVERSE TOUR”
AS NEW CD ‘THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED’ HITS STORES;
NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO “DIE DEAD ENOUGH” IMPACT THE AIRWAVES
With their new CD THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED hitting stores this week (Sanctuary Records) and its first single and video “Die Dead Enough” impacting airwaves, MEGADETH has announced dates for a U.S. tour. The 22-date trek by the iconic hard rock group kicks off October 23 in Reno, NV and wraps November 20 in Minneapolis, MN. The video for “Die Dead Enough” made its debut on MTV’s “Headbangers Ball” this past weekend and the song is spinning on Active Rock and Rock radio stations nationwide.
After re-releasing eight MEGADETH albums earlier this past summer, MUSTAINE returns with THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED, which Revolver described in a four-star review (October ’04) as “Megadeth’s most vengeful, poignant and musically complex offering since 1992’s Countdown To Extinction…Throw in political themes, apocalyptic lyrics…it’s clear that Megadeth are not just back, they’re paranoid, pissed, and motivated to destroy.”
Tour dates are as follows. For up-to-the minute info, check out www.megadeth.com.
