DAVE MUSTAINE Says He Will Be ‘Looking For A New Company’ To Manufacture MEGADETH Beer
MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine, who has been collaborating with the Canadian brewery Unibroue on a beer called À Tout Le Monde for the past seven years, says that his partnership with the Québec-based company is about to come to an end. The 60-year-old guitarist/vocalist discussed the status of the MEGADETH beer during a March 30 appearance on SiriusXM‘s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk”. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “We went to Unibroue up in Canada and selected that company because we felt that they were a good company. And we got a deal with them. It was for quite a long period of time. And that’s expiring, I think, in a couple of more months. And we’re going to be looking for a new company to manufacture our beer. “I love the tas...

In Stasis – MONUMENTS
RATING: 9/10 With the release of “In Stasis”, U.K. prog metal outfit MONUMENTS dish out a record that will certainly satiate lovers of the genre. The 10-track album is a feast for syncopation and groovy riffs, putting each musician’s technical skills on full display. Rounded out by raucous unclean vocals and memorable melodic hooks, their fourth full-length remains accessible to those who may not usually listen to prog and might be put off by more experimental bands. In collaborating with video game soundtrack composer Mick Gordon (“DOOM”, “Prey”, “Killer Instinct”), MONUMENTS are able to establish a cinematic and, at times, apocalyptic atmosphere that pervades the record. This influence can particularly be heard in the ominous, organ-f...
