  Megadeth 'Endgame' - Album Of The Year at BW & BK

   

  BraveWords.com Presents Brave Picks Top 30 Of 2009 ... #1 Finally Revealed!!!

   

  Well, it probably wasn't too difficult to figure out ... we have major respect for this band and to see their career revitalized in the past few years and truly embrace the metal scene is inspiring to bands/fans all over the globe. And it seems Mr. Mustaine can do no wrong - 2007's United Abominations also was the BW&BK scribes' top pick of the year! And to top things off, Megadeth will be bringing their new album to European stages next year with their other comrades in the Big Four, METALLICA, SLAYER and ANTHRAX. Mustaine is snarling from ear-to-ear!
  
  So, a BIG CONGRATS to Dave Mustaine (lead vocals, guitar), Shawn Drover (drums, percussion), James Lomenzo (bass, backing vocals) and Chris Broderick (guitar, backing vocals) for delivering the goods in 2009!
  
  So, the moment we've all been waiting for! Here is the Brave Picks 2009 Album Of The Year!
  
  Double-bass drum roll please ....
  
  #1 - MEGADETH - Endgame (Roadrunner)

   

  BraveWords.com scribe Dom Lawson raved about the album in his review: "The easiest way to explain exactly how good Megadeth's twelfth album is to say what it doesn't do, rather than what it does. Endgame crushes everything else released in the name of heavy metal in 2009 because it doesn't fail to meet expectations. It doesn't pretend to be a return to the good old days. It doesn't miss out any of the stuff that fans of the band are desperately hoping will be significantly represented. It doesn't sound like the work of a band that have lost their cojones or their grasp of what metal is supposed to sound like, feel like or look like. It doesn't cave in to the overfed egos of its creators and end up sounding like a compromise or a sloppy rehearsal given a bit of post-production gloss. Most of all, it doesn't do anything except be a brilliant Megadeth record. Because, after all, that is all that a band as important, enduring and well-respected as this should be doing. Endgame is an album full of brilliant songs."

  METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH & ANTHRAX To Perform Together For The First Time In History

   * METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH AND ANTHRAX TO PERFORM TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY *

  * THE BIG FOUR CONFIRMED FOR SONISPHERE POLAND AND CZECH REPUBLIC *

  * MORE BIG FOUR APPEARANCES AT SONISPHERE SHOWS PLANNED *

  The world wide web has been abound with speculation on a possible "BIG FOUR" tour for several months. Now, SONISPHERE can exclusively reveal that METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX will play together for the first time in history, in a move that will have metalheads across the globe frenzied with excitement.

  Says LARS ULRICH/METALLICA of this historic announcement:
  "Who would have thought that more than 25 years after its inception, thrash metal's big 4 would not only still be around and more popular than ever, but will now play together for the first time...what a mindfuck! Bring it on!"

  "It's about fucking time this happened," said SLAYER's KERRY KING. "and about time the fans finally get what they want. This is fucking awesome."

  ANTHRAX guitarist SCOTT IAN agrees, commenting on the enormity of the announcement.

  "People have been talking about these four bands playing together since 1984. That's twenty-six years of expectation!!! And the thing is, I believe not only will we live up to the expectations, we will shatter them!! No other four bands as influential as the four of us have ever done this. Imagine if The Beatles, Stones, The Who and Zeppelin had done shows? Or Sabbath, Priest, Maiden, Motorhead? Well, I may be getting into some rarified air here but as a fan, that's how big I feel this is."

  These four legendary acts broke out of the underground thrash movement to dominate the metal world in the 1980s, selling millions of records and packing arenas across the globe. The metal giants have never before all shared the same stage, despite huge demand. But on 16th June 2010, METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX will take to the SONISPHERE stage at Bemowo Airport, Poland, to make the dreams of headbangers the world over become a reality. A second Big Four appearance is planned for SONISPHERE CZECH REPUBLIC three days later, with more SONISPHERE shows featuring the awesome combo to be announced in the coming days and weeks.

  "This is a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity for Heavy Metal "Fans" to see the four greatest Heavy Metal "Bands" in American History back together on one stage" concludes MEGADETH mainman DAVE MUSTAINE. "If there are any heads left at the end of this Festival that haven't banged, they don't belong there."

  Tickets available from www.sonispherefestivals.com

  Megadeth. Slayer. Two names synonymous with fierce, crunching power. Two bands whose histories are inevitably intertwined in defining the thrash/metal genre. Individually, their respective prowess and accomplishments are impressive; but together, they're brutal and unstoppable. Megadeth and Slayer will join forces to co-headline "American Carnage," the most blistering, the most explosive, and the most eagerly anticipated mega-tour of the winter - and you do not want to miss it.
  
  In addition, Testament - who was also on the "Clash of the Titans" bill, will be Special Guests on the entire tour, marking the first time that all three bands have shared a stage together in more than 18 years, and making this a "must see" metal event.
