Endgame (Megadeth album)
''Endgame'' is the twelfth studio album by American thrash metal band Megadeth. It was released on September 15, 2009 through Roadrunner Records and was produced by Dave Mustaine and Andy Sneap. ''Endgame'' was the first album to feature guitarist Chris Broderick, following Glen Drover's departure in 2008, and was the band's last studio album with bassist James LoMenzo; original bassist David Ellefson rejoined the band several months after the album's release.
There are eleven tracks on the album, with lyrics inspired by subjects ranging from ''The Lord of the Rings'' and the financial crisis of 2007–08, to insanity, torture and crime. Two singles were released from the album: "Head Crusher" and "The Right to Go Insane"; the former was nominated for "Best Metal Performance" at the 2010 Grammy Awards. ''Endgame'' entered the ''Billboard'' 200 at number nine, and reached number one on the U.S. Top Hard Rock Albums chart. As of April 2011 it has sold about 150,000 copies in the U.S. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics, and was thought to continue the success of the band's previous album, ''United Abominations'' (2007).
==Writing and recording==
On May 27, 2009, Megadeth frontman and guitarist Dave Mustaine confirmed twelve songs were complete and the group was currently mixing and mastering the record. The first preview from ''Endgame'' was a six-minute video featuring Sneap describing the process of mixing "Head Crusher" at his studio in Derbyshire, England. In the video, he called the upcoming album "old-school".〔 ''Endgame'' was recorded at the band's studio, "Vic's Garage", in San Marcos, California.〔 The tracklisting was initially revealed on July 2, 2009, although several track titles were later shortened for the final release.〔 The album was produced by Andy Sneap, who also produced Megadeth's previous album, ''United Abominations''.
Mustaine said of the album: "It is fast, it is heavy, there is singing, yelling, speaking, and guest voices (maybe not singing – more like in "Captive Honour"), the soloing is insane."〔 He described it as a riff-oriented album, less melodic than the band's mid-to-late 90s material. Mustaine had saved a number of old rehearsal tapes, which were used as the album's starting point. The band members had online chats with fans on their website while recording, which according to Mustaine, helped lift the band's enthusiasm.
