Song appears on band’s forthcoming studio album
Megadeth has premiered Night Stalkers: Chapter II, the next installment of a multi-part short film being released alongside their next single “Night Stalkers.” The track is the latest from their forthcoming 16th studio album, The Sick, The Dying…And The Dead!, due September 2nd via UMe. Both the video and single for “Night Stalkers” feature a special appearance by the rapper Ice-T.
Created by Dave Mustaine, produced by Rafael Pensado, and directed by Leo Liberti, Night Stalkers: Chapter II is the next episode in the multi-chapter saga about the origin of Vic Rattlehead as we continue to follow the tragic events leading to our operative’s complete transformation as he systematically exacts his revenge.
The first chapter We’ll Be Back: Chapter I premiered in June and within the first hour of release, the album’s first track and video were met with overwhelming fan reaction resulting in the band trending on Twitter with the video already having garnered over two million views to date.
Featuring 12 new tracks, The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! will be released on CD, vinyl, and cassette, as well as digitally through all online partners. There will also be a limited deluxe edition 2 LP, 12-track album pressed on 180-gram black vinyl housed in a numbered gatefold jacket with a 12×24 lyrics/credits insert, a lenticular vinyl lithograph and a bonus 7-inch featuring “We’ll Be Back” and the unreleased b-side “The Conjuring (Live).” The limited deluxe edition can only be purchased via the band’s official webstore, through Sound of Vinyl, and uDiscover.
