Last Friday, Megadeth unleashed their new single ”Soldier On!” from their new studio album The Sick, The Dying…And The Dead!, set for release on September 2, 2022, via UMe.
Dave Mustaine said of the song, “Coming to the realization that you need to walk away from a relationship that’s very toxic, and how hard it can be to start down that road. But you know you need to, and just taking that first step is the hardest part. Whatever your leaving does to them, you have to block that part out, stay the course and do what’s right for you. It will be hard in the beginning, but you have got to live for yourself to be worth a damn to anyone else. You’ve got to Soldier On!”
