Megadeth’s new album, Super Collider, is an event in and of itself. Not only because it’s the latest offering from one of the most influential American thrash bands – and a member of the Big 4, no less –, but also because the band are taking their audience to unexpected places. Even though Megadeth’s sound and typical riffs are well and truly present, some of the songs go farther than thrash, using elements from various worlds and even going as far as experimenting. On the limited edition of the album, one track, “A House Divided”, even includes a trumpet!
As was expected, criticisms were not long in coming. In a way, in terms of risk-taking if not of style, this is exactly what happened with another one of the band’s album: the much maligned but aptly named Risk. On 9th June, during Sonisphere France festival, we were lucky to interview bass player Dave Ellefson, who has revived his old friendship with Dave Mustaine and confirmed his return in Megadeth with the album Th1rt3en. It was a good opportunity to decipher the new album, compare it to Risk and put it in perspective with the rest of the band’s discography.
