The CD arrived in stores via Mustaine's new label, Tradecraft, distributed by Universal Music Enterprises (UMe). It marks MEGADETH's first release since the band's split with Roadrunner Records.In a recent interview with The Rock Pit, Mustaine stated about the current lineup of MEGADETH: "I think if you ask any of us, they will all tell you this is their favorite period and the great thing is with Chris Broderick (guitar) being around for a while it's pretty significant with him. and Shawn Drover (drums) has been around longer he's seen more but when we got David Ellefson (bass) coming back in and he's saying this is the best that he's ever seen it and he's the one that's seen some pretty big successes among us in MEGADETH so for him to say that just shows you that things are on the rise for MEGADETH again. I'm totally excited."Mustaine also spoke about the recently released live DVD which contains a performance of the entire "Countdown To Extinction" album. "I think 'Countdown To Extinction' was a highly successful record in the States," Dave explained. "It was also one of those records that really changed people's perspective on heavy metal in the United States. "When 'Countdown' came out, it was No. 2 on the charts and there was a record by a country guy named Billy Ray Cyrus who was at No. 1 and he had that stupid song 'Achey Breaky Heart'
It was like a novelty song so you couldn't shake it so basically we had a No. 1 record, but because of that dumb song, we never got to realize it. So that, for all intents and purposes, was our biggest record we ever had."Interview (audio):
