Release Date 23rd January 2026
Indies Exclusive Crystal Red Organza Vinyl 2LP
In early 2026, Megadeth will release their final studio album via Dave Mustaine’s Tradecraft imprint in partnership with Frontiers Label Group’s new BLKIIBLK label. Serving as the definitive closing chapter to one of the most influential catalogs in heavy music, this record represents both a creative milestone and a once-in-a-generation commercial opportunity.
The campaign is anchored by two high-impact singles: lead track “Tipping Point” and follow up “I Don’t Care”, launching this fall alongside worldwide pre-orders.
To maximize impact, the rollout is supported by a global cinema listening event that brings the album experience to theaters in key markets, offering fans an immersive preview and generating retail-driving buzz. A coordinated global paid media campaign will span digital, social, audio, and OOH placements, ensuring reach across mainstream audiences and rock/metal superfans alike. In addition, Dave Mustaine and Megadeth will be featured in major global print, television, and radio interviews, further elevating visibility around the world.
Commercially, the album is positioned as the last chance to own a brand-new Megadeth
release, tied directly to the launch of a multi-year global farewell tour beginning in 2026.
Multiple retail and D2C configurations—including color vinyl variants, deluxe CDs, and
premium collector bundles—are designed to drive strong pre-order activity and high-value SKU sales. Fans will also be engaged through Cyber Army activations, CRM campaigns, and cross-category tie-ins such as Megadeth Beer
