Impact metal channel conducted an interview with former MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman before his December 20, 2014 concert in Dublin, Ireland. You can now watch the chat below.

The CD was released on May 26, 2014 via Prosthetic Records (except in Japan, where the album was made available through Universal Music).
