The video was recorded and produced by a team of Brazilians who have worked with Megadeth.

Check it out:

“When we went to São Paulo in 2016, we filmed the ‘Conquer or Die’ video. We were so impressed with director Leo Libertini that we asked him to make the ‘Lying in State’ clip too (…) Many thanks to Kiko Loureiro for introducing us to Leo. I loved how Vic was holding a sword! ”

The Leo-led production company, Libertà Filmes, has received numerous awards such as the Latin Grammy, Cannes and Clio over the years.

Dystopia

The album, produced by Dave Mustaine and Toby Wright, is the band’s first since The System Has Failed (2004). Does not have drummer Shawn Drover and the first since Endgame (2008) without guitarist Chris Broderick. These roles were filled by Chris Adler of Lamb of God and Kiko Loureiro from Angra, respectively.
