The MEGADETH page with the Countdown Clock now features a music soundtrack to it.

 

What we hear looping over and over on the page is a portion of Chris Adler‘s drumming and David Ellefson‘s bass locked in, presumably music from the band’s upcoming album. Check it out for yourself here (wait a few seconds for it to kick in)

MEGADETH have teased some of the song titles and hinted that new music would be coming soon, but now it appears that you can put a timer on that. The band has launched an official countdown clock on their website, hopefully ticking down to either a new song or potentially the release of said album.
 

The countdown is set to run out on Friday, Oct. 2 at 9PM CET and it should be noted that Friday is now the universally accepted release date for new albums. However, it’s more likely that either a new song or an official announcement of details concerning the new disc is what we’ll likely receive.

 

All suggestions to this point have hinted at a late 2015 or early 2016 street date. Keep up with the countdown clock here.
