Megadeth Begins Recording New Album in San Marcos Today, May 9

MEGADETH BEGINS NEW ALBUM TODAY AT SAN MARCOS STUDIO

Megadeth begin recording their as-yet-untitled new album today, with producer Johnny Karkazis (Machine Head, Disturbed) and slated for a fall 2011 release through Roadrunner Records. Drum tracking is being done all this week at Vic’s Garage studio in San Marcos, operated by bandleader Dave Mustaine.

Mustaine was born September 13, 1961, at Grossmont Hospital. After his parents split, his mom raised him as a Jehovah's Witness, though he left her La Mesa home as a teen.

He moved to a 1.2 million dollar house at Rolling Hills Estates in Fallbrook in late 2004, along with his wife Pamela Anne Casselberry, their kids, and their horses. Mustaine filed a petition for divorce in San Diego Superior Court in 2006, seeking dissolution of his marriage to Casselberry, whom he wed in April 1991.

The couple had a son in 1992 (Justis David), a daughter in 1998 (Electra Nicole), and another son in 2002 (Victor Gar).

Victor Gar was named after Megadeth mascot Vic Rattlehead and former band drummer Gar Samuelsson, who died in 1998.

Son Justis plays guitar and has appeared in several local theatrical productions, including one in which he played Elvis Presley.
