| CHRIS BRODERICK Joins MEGADETH. |
|
|
|
 MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has officially confirmed that the band has parted ways with guitarist Glen Drover and replaced him with Chris Broderick (NEVERMORE, JAG PANZER).
"I've noticed [on the Internet] that people are pissed with me over the way things were handled with Glen quitting the group," says Mustaine, "but they're gonna be pissed even more when they hear how fierce we are with Chris! MEGADETH is playing at a new level."
In a November 2007 posting on the forum of MEGADETH's official fan club, MegaFanClub (accessible to members only), Mustaine stated about Drover, "sadly, Glen is having a really difficult time handling the demands of touring and we are finding that we are having to cut our European run down already, but that it is going to be one of the last long ones for some time."
Broderick will make his live debut with MEGADETH on February 4 in Finland, where the group — Mustaine, Broderick, drummer Shawn Drover and James Lomenzo on bass — is kicking off a long string of international dates which wrap March 14 in Bangalore, India.

| DOBULE DRAGON: Enter Studio To Record Debut Album. |
|
|
|
 DoubleDragon writes "Australia's DOUBLE DRAGON have entered the studio to record their highly anticipated debut album titled 'Devastator'.
After releasing their debut EP 'Scars Of Fire' in 2006, the critically acclaimed release took the band to new heights, headlining shows across Australia and also landed them supports with international metal acts Slayer, Mastodon, Cephalic Carnage, Black Dahlia Murder, Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquillity and also landed them a spot on the Australian music festival, The Big Day Out. Double Dragon have returned to the studio with producer Ian Miller, promising to make a work of metal that will stand the test of time and cement Double Dragon in Australian metal history.
As for the songs, vocalist Lee states "This is our heaviest work to date, and in hindsight its probably the sound we have been searching for since day 1. There are new elements to the songs, alot more experimentations but at the same time we have concentrated on our strengths, which essentially is twin guitar harmonies, groove and lots of melodic riffs".
"Lyrically the songs are darker, and the vocals will be a heavier than previous Double Dragon releases, but we have also written a couple of ballady type tracks, more classic rock in the vein of mellow Black Sabbath. We will always be a metal band, but the freedom of playing metal music gives us alot of room to experiment with different sounds, and I think our weed smoking fans will understand where we are coming from with the mellow tracks. I really feel these songs are going to be great live, and I cant wait to hit the road again and show the world a good ole fashioned Australian metal ass kicking".
'Devastator' is due for release in June 2008."
