Megadeth – reveal track listing for their January 2026 self-titled album, the band’s final release

MEGADETH today (October 30) have revealed the full track listing for their self-titled final album that’s due out January 23, 2026. Pre-order the album, via DAVE MUSTAINE’s Tradecraft imprint in partnership with Frontiers Label Group’s new BLKIIBLK label, HERE. The album includes ‘Tipping Point’, the previously released first single, and a very special bonus track: a reimagined version of ‘Ride The Lightning’, which MUSTAINE co-wrote with Metallica’s James Hetfield, Cliff Burton, and Lars Ulrich and was the title track from the group’s 1984 album.

“As I come full circle on the career of a lifetime, the decision to include ‘Ride The Lightning’, a song I co-wrote with James, Lars, and Cliff, was to pay my respects to where my career first started,” MUSTAINE says.

MEGADETH—Mustaine, Teemu Mäntysaari (Lead, Rhythm, and Acoustic Guitars), James LoMenzo (Bass Guitar) and Dirk Verbeuren (Drums)—released the album’s first single and video for ‘Tipping Point’ in early October.  The sonically explosive and lyrically unflinching song launches 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 performs in the same lock-up.  In the end DAVE perseveres evil and walks away into a new day. Watch the video HERE and listen to the song HERE.

Earlier this year, MUSTAINE revealed in a social post directly shared with his worldwide fanbase and Cyber Army that the forthcoming album will mark the final studio album from MEGADETH, who’ve sold over 50 million records worldwide and received a GRAMMY® Award (with 12 additional nominations).

He shared the announcement of the album and tour via his alter ego Vic Rattlehead.

The album’s full track listing is as follows:
Tipping Point 
I Don’t Care
Hey, God?! 
Let There Be Shred
Puppet Parade 
Another Bad Day 
Made To Kill 
Obey The Call 
I Am War 
The Last Note 
Ride The Lightning (Bonus Track)
