The song is the first single and video from their 2026 album
Megadeth has unveiled “Tipping Point” as the first single and video from their forthcoming self-titled final album due out in 2026 via Dave Mustaine’s Tradecraft imprint in partnership with Frontiers Label Group’s new BLKIIBLK label. The sonically explosive and lyrically unflinching song kicks off with a thunderous guitar solo before Mustaine’s iconic voice hauntingly kicks in. In the desolate but hopeful accompanying video, directed by Leonardo Liberti, Mustaine is locked up in a prison being tortured severely, while the band performs in the same lock-up. In the end, Mustaine perseveres in evil and walks away into a new day.
“We all have different ‘tipping points’ and they may vary from day to day,” says Mustaine. “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.”
Megadeth will release their forthcoming self-titled album in 2026.
Earlier this year, Mustaine revealed in a social post directly shared with his worldwide fanbase and Cyber Army that the forthcoming album will mark the final studio album from Megadeth, who’ve sold over 50 million records worldwide and received a Grammy Award with 12 additional nominations.
He shared the announcement of the album and tour via his alter ego Vic Rattlehead. Also set for next year is a new memoir from Mustaine, details of which will be revealed in the coming months.
In addition, look for the initial run of farewell tour dates to be announced later this year.
