Thrash metal icons MEGADETH have unleashed their brand-new single “Puppet Parade,” which appears to be the final advance track from their forthcoming—and final—self-titled studio album. The record is set to arrive this Friday, January 23.
The band have already begun their farewell touring cycle in support of the album, with plans for the run to span an estimated three to five years before Dave Mustaine and company officially call it a day. That decision was made in part due to Mustaine’s ongoing battle with Dupuytren’s contracture, a progressive condition that affects mobility in the fingers and hands.
