New CD to be released!
The forthcoming CD - No Life Without Deth is currently being pressed and will be available from July. These will be available at every gig along with the new range of male and female t-shirts.
The band have also had 2 great shows over the last month at the Hark to Towler in Bury and Hotel California in Birkenhead. Excellent crowds and atmosphere at both. There will be future shows at both venues throughout 2009. Big thanks to all staff and management for all their help. New pictures will be added to the gallery section shortly.
Apologies go out to anyone expecting to see Megadeth UK at the recent Moxters of Rock festival in Coalville. Due to severe mechanical failure from the usually reliant band van, the guys were without transport and so had to miss the day. It was a great disappointment to all concerned.
Second Gig
The band have just returned from a storming evening in Barrow-in-Furness. The venue was The Canteen Media & Arts Centre and support came from Codejack. It was a classic evening with the crowd going out of their way to enjoy themselves. Major moshing and headbanging were the order of the day! Pics can be seen in the gallery section.
Other news is that we have finalised the artwork for the forthcoming CD - No Life Without Deth. See attached image. The CD will be available at gigs from July. (Click here to have a listen.)
First Gig
Megadeth UK completed their 1st gig at the Chester Bells and it was a great evening. A great crowd and superb sound mix. Many thanks to Chris (Dio, Heaven & Hell) for mixing the sound. The band played a blistering 24 song set list in a very hot venue. It was a great start to the live campaign and the band are now looking forward to travelling far and wide across the UK. See ya out there! Pics from this gig and all forthcoming gigs can be seen in the Gallery section. (Click here to view the pics.)

May 2008
Welcome to the first news bulletin for Megadeth UK. Since January of this year the band has been in full rehearsal mode with new recruits Luke (lead guitar) and Russ (bass guitar). The band have put together a 26 song set list which covers the classic era of Megadeth from Killing is my Business right through to Countdown to Extinction. Within the set list are songs that are rarely played live anymore, even by Megadeth themselves so it proves to be a wish list for any Megadeth fan. At the end of April the band recorded it’s first CD at Autumn Road studios in Wrexham. Many thanks go to Nino for the recording and Engineering process. The CD and full details will be available from June this year. The last few months have also been busy with the band venturing into new venues and making plans for a trip to Ireland for 2009. We will be updating the news section regularly so make sure you check in with all that is going on with Megadeth UK. We look forward to seeing you all out there.
