Megadeth have been around for nearly three decades and return with their 14th studio album “Super Collider”. The new album reunites founder, leader, primal guitar-slinger and lyricist Dave Mustaine once again with guitarist Chris Broderick, bassist David Ellefson and drummer Shawn Drover.

Mustaine’s lyrics often reflect various viewpoints on society as well as social issues and are crafted in a way that is open to interpretation and promote discussion. “Super Collider itself is more about the metaphoric climax from having a good time with other people, which is comparable to those atoms colliding with one another, and the orgasmic explosion which comes after it,” explains Mustaine. “It’s also about that person at the top of the mountain, reaching down to help someone else to the top, showing them a better place, a higher road to travel.”

The Super Collider title comes from the world’s largest and highest-energy particle accelerator which allows physicists to smash atoms in the hope of discovering the origins of the Big Bang Theory. The actual device, considered one of the great engineering milestones of mankind, is pictured on the album cover, with permission from CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), which developed and built it. Super Collider is a soundtrack for today, amped up and in your face, just like Megadeth has been for the past three decades.
