Megadeth releases new song “Let There Be Shred”
Megadeth released "Let There Be Shred", single from their upcoming final self-titled studio album that will be out next January 23. "When Megadeth started, we said we would be fast and furious…we said so on the flyers we handed out. This song is fast and furious. Know it! It has a very hooky chorus that draws you in and you can't help but play air guitar and headbang to this one."
"It's the second video from the new record that we made with Keith [Leman], who also directed 'I Don't Care'. It was a blast to make and it's a tribute to my first Sensei, Benny 'The Jet' Urquidez and my professor, Reggie Almieda. Everyone on the set was really stoked to see each of us do our stunts. In the end, we got the balance of shredding and ass kicking just right!" Dave Mustaine said.

Lyrics
"The stage has been lit, get up on your feet
Hearts start to pound; everyone get off your seat
My fingers spontaneously combust into flames
Destroying pretenders, only ashes remain
On the day I was born, a guitar in my hands
The earth started rumbling a thunderous command
To bash and to thrash, to bang my head
To smash my guitar and "Let There Be Shred!"
The amps start to roar, a tsunami of sound
Controlling the air, shaking the ground
Guitars are all screaming, they squeal with delight
Clawing fretboards away at the speed of light
On the day I was born, a guitar in my hands
The earth started rumbling a thunderous command
To bash and to thrash, to bang my head
To smash my guitar and "Let There Be Shred!"
At the end of it all, they are left in my wake
One-by-one they’d fall, one-by-one they’d break
Faster than lightning, a machine gun on meth
Dead on arrival, a guitar beat to death
On the day I was born, a guitar in my hands
The earth started rumbling a thunderous command
To bash and to thrash, to bang my head
To smash my guitar and "Let There Be Shred!"
