This week on Mandatory Music, Mike and Sebastian dive headfirst into the massive news from Megadeth — their upcoming album, simply titled “Megadeth.” We break down the tracklist (for better or worse), give our first impressions of the lead single “Tipping Point,” and debate what it says about the band’s direction in 2025.

But that’s not all — Megadeth just dropped a bombshell bonus track: a cover of Metallica’s “Ride the Lightning.” Yep, Dave Mustaine revisits a song he helped write decades ago, putting his own spin on one of metal’s most iconic riffs. You do not want to miss this episode — it’s part nostalgia trip, part breakdown, and 100% metal!

Mandatory Music is proudly hosted and produced by Michael Heide and Sebastian Kwapich
