Megadeth Frontman Posts Update On New Material

Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine has posted the following message online:

"Droogies!

"Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who choose to celebrate Thanksgiving on this day. Today's update is kinda wrapping up the whole week, instead of just any given day.

"Andy Sneap has gone back to the UK, and Shawn Drover has gone back to the land of mosquitoes in Georgia. I am here at home in San Diego, like James is too, and Chris is up the freeway two hours in LA. Our last full day together was Tuesday, and we got a lot of ground covered.

"I know that there was probably some wonder of how I was going to come up with these songs, but I have never wondered, and the songs I have heard so far are kewl to me, and we keep making little slight adjustments which improves the song most of the time. I also have just enough humility to know when a change has not made a song better, and to go with what is best for the song. More...

Darkthrone Writing New Material

Darkthrone mainman Nocturno Culto has posted the following message online:

"Winter is most definitely full-on here now, and I'm enjoying the feeling of isolation as best as I can. Great! That out of the way, I will first thank Fenriz for doing a great job on the Darkthrone Official mySpace, du brenner for saken, bokstavelig talt!!! And to all of you who send me words through this site. Winter means a bit more actively indoors for me, so I'll give it my best shot to maintain this cyber-cage.

"Dark Thrones And Black Flags is, well, history for me now, since the planning and songwriting for a new album is well under way. We enjoyed recording it and looking forward to December 13th when we pull the trigger for a new album. There are small details this time around that will most likely result in a slight different sound and 'feeling'. Seems pointless to mention such stuff here, but I can assure you that both Fenriz and me looking forward to this. The first session of a new record is always exciting plus since it do set some fundamental standards...at least in our heads....well, at least in MY head then. Working the way we do now is such a blizz it's hard to describe.

"I'll get back to you all soon, about other music projects, bands etc..."
