Megadeth United Abominations Article.
The eleventh studio album by Thrash Metal band Megadeth, a return to the old sound of the 1990 Rust In Peace and the 1992 Countdown To Extinction style of writing, bringing back the 'old school' Megadeth. The albums title track is about the United Nations and Dave Mustaine's view on the united nations labeling them as the 'Untied Abominations' instead. an alternate version of A Tout Le Monde is featured on this album and songs like sleepwalker which call the return to Mustaine's anger fueled writing similar to that of sweating bullets with insanity as the prime of the subject. The album was recorded in the studio at David Gilmour's (Pink Floyd) home in the UK. Drummer Shawn Drover also got to use Led Zeppelin's drum kit. The guitars were recorded on this album with SM57 and KSM 32 dynamic microphone, the drums with Samson Drum mics and vocals with a SM58 microphone. The amplifier for the guitars was a Marshall EL34 100/100 Dual Mono-bloc Power Amp Dave Mustaine signature along with Fractal Audio. The main topic of this album is politics, Mustaine combines his fast aggressive playing with wide political knowledge forming a Thrash Masterpiece. The music is written primarily on Dave Mustaine's political view of how the world looks from his eyes and his views on past problems caused by his Nation and other Nations, this has been similarly done in songs like Holy Wars... The Punishment Due, Set The World Afire and Peace Sells.. But Who's Buying. The album performs very well in combining new styles of Heavy Metal with the main part of the song structure being Old-School Thrash Metal giving the music a familiar feel with a different sound and is a great follow up to the previous album The System Has Failed with songs like Gears Of War which is about the arsenal of the military or songs like Burnt Ice of which contains an intro solo of great precision and speed, bringing the Megadeth aspect to the song.
