Megadeth have unleashed the first single from next year’s final album

Megadeth have shared the first single, Tipping Point, from their forthcoming final album.

The thrash titans will be releasing their last-ever studio record – simply entitled Megadeth – at some point in 2026, and today (October 3) they’re giving fans a taste of what’s to come with Tipping Point.

Says Dave Mustaine: “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.”
