MEGADETH have selected "Die Dead Enough" as the first single from their upcoming CD, "The System Has Failed", due on September 14 through Sanctuary Records. The single will go to metal radio around July 19 and rock radio approximately July 26.

"The System Has Failed" was recorded at Phase Four studios in Tempe, Arizona and is set to feature cover artwork by Ed Repka. Joining mainman Dave Mustaine on the recording are drummer Vinnie Colaiuta and bassist Jimmy Sloas. Additional lead guitar tracks were laid down by former MEGADETH guitarist Chris Poland.

"The System Has Failed" track listing:

01. Blackmail The Universe
02. Shadow Of Death
03. My Kingdom
04. Of Mice And Men
05. Truth Be Told
06. The Scorpion
07. Kick The Chair
08. Something That I'm Not
09. Tears In A Vial
10. Die Dead Enough
11. Back In The Day

The upcoming CD will be preceded by reissues by all seven of MEGADETH's studio albums recorded during the group's tenure with Capitol Records. Mustaine remixed, remastered and restored each album, all of which will feature previously unreleased tracks as well as demos and alternate mixes, and newly penned liner notes.

"The System Has Failed" will be MEGADETH's first since the announcement that Mustaine was disbanding the group following a serious accident in early 2002. At the time, it was unknown if severe nerve damage in his left arm would leave him able to perform again.

A new album & remastered albums...I like it!

[Foreskin Ninja]

The System Has Failed is probably the album i'm most looking forward to this year, can't fucking wait.

And I hope they don't play Glasgow, I hope i'm forced to make the extra effort to go down to London for it, that'd be fucking awesome.

Are people REALLY excited about Megadeth still? Yeah, I love "Countdown..." and previous, and even dig a few of the later tunes, but the last album was stale, and "Kick The Chair" was more of the same. Quit while you're ahead, Mustaine....

Awesome, I shall be purchasing it when it comes out.

Heheh, he didn't get arthritis, but he's not in the band. At current, the only member of Megadeth is Dave.

He's auditioning people for touring with him under the name Megadeth, but nobody else is actually in Megadeth at the moment, and Marty did not record on the album, he's been in Japan for months.
