Megadeth's Dystopia World Tour Comes to DCU Center

From DCU Center:

Global metal pioneers Megadeth premiered their video for the new single, “Post American World,” along with complete details for the fall dates for the North American leg of their Dystopia World Tour. The tour comes to the DCU Center in Worcester on Wednesday, Oct. 12 at 6 p.m.

The current single, “Post American World,” takes an unflinching and timely look at the state of the modern world, and the dark vision of the Jake Macpherson-directed video takes the subject matter in still more menacing directions. Most other artists are unwilling to tread in this territory, preferring veiled metaphors or, more often, completely ignoring the most important topics of our day. But with their current album, Dystopia, Megadeth refused to compromise their craft and identity, and as such have again set the pace for modern metal.

Dave Mustaine comments, “The filming of Post American World was an eerie video shoot right from the beginning. Shot in just one day with only our guitars and drums, I knew that this was going to be amazing. There is something to be said about the simplicity of an artist and only his guitar or drums. This is clearly a 'less is more' concept, and director Jake Macpherson nailed it!”

The raw and uncensored video can be viewed online in its entirety.

Megadeth burst onto the scene 30 years ago, virtually inventing a genre with their debut album, Killing Is My Business… And Business Is Good!

The album recently recognized by VH1 as the Greatest Thrash Metal Debut Album of All Time and sold more than 38 million albums worldwide, earning numerous accolades including 11 Grammy® nominations and scoring five consecutive platinum albums—including 1992’s two-million-selling Countdown to Extinction.

Tickets are $52, $47 and $37 and are subject to applicable handling, convenience and facility fees. Purchase will be made available Saturday, July 23 at 10 a.m. at the DCU Center box office.
