The guitarist and singer Dave Mustaine (64) recently announced that Megadeth will release their final album and embark on a farewell tour to play one last time for fans during the next years. Now the band released “Tipping Point”, the first single of their upcoming self-titled album which will be released next January 26.
“We all have different ‘tipping points’ and they may vary from day to day. I think we’re all being pushed to the edge right now, and it’s easy to lean into that feeling. But it’s important not to let things get you down,” Dave Mustaine said.
The band is currently formed by Mustaine, Dirk Verbeuren (Drums), James LoMenzo (Bass) and Teemu Mäntysaari (Guitar). Megadeth is the second band of the Big 4 of Thrash Metal to do a farewell tour, since Slayer was the first in 2019, although the band reunited and is playing in festivals around the world right now.

Megadeth “Tipping Point” lyrics
“Today, I may bleed, but tonight you will die
Snatched in your sleep, in the blackest night
You buried the truth under layers of lies
There’s no return, now you’ve crossed the line
Push me, I push you back
Tipping Point
Hiding your secrets out in plain sight
Dead men don’t talk, and bullets don’t lie
Watching the life drain out from your eyes
Crossing my heart, how I hope you will die
Push me, I push you back
Tipping Point
I will invade your mind
Make you fear the sound
Of voices that aren’t there
With no one else around
You try to stop the footsteps
And stop the heart that beats
You will beg for silence
You will pray for peace
You won’t defy me, you won’t deny me, I’m at my tipping point. You won’t define me, you’ll never find me, I’m at my tipping point”.
