MEGADETH have unveiled “Tipping Point” as the first single and video from their forthcoming self-titled final album due out in 2026 via DAVE MUSTAINE’s Tradecraft imprint in partnership with Frontiers Label Group’s new BLKIIBLK label. The sonically explosive and lyrically unflinching song kicks off with a thunderous guitar solo before DAVE’s iconic voice hauntingly kicks in. In the desolate but hopeful accompanying video, directed by Leonardo Liberti, DAVE is locked up in a prison being tortured in extreme fashion, while the band perform in the same lock-up. In the end DAVE perseveres evil and walks away into a new day. “We all have different ‘tipping points’ and they may vary from day to day,”says MUSTAINE. “I think we’re all being pushed to the edge right now, andit’s easy to lean into that feeling. But it’s important not to let things get youdown.” MEGADETH—Mustaine, Teemu Mäntysaari (Lead, Rhythm, and AcousticGuitars), James LoMenzo (Bass Guitar) and Dirk Verbeuren (Drums)—willrelease their forthcoming self-titled album in 2026. Pre-order the albumHERE and stay tuned for more news about the album in the coming weeks.
