It looks like Megadeth fans who have been waiting for a follow-up to 2016’s Dystopia are going to have to wait a little longer.

The release date for the album The Sick, The Dying and The Dead, which had already been delayed until spring, has been pushed back again, says the band’s Dave Mustaine. He now says it likely won’t drop until sometime this summer.

The good news is Megadeth is still planning to kick off the second leg of the “Metal Tour of the Year” with Lamb of God in April, Mustaine says.

What’s the longest a band has gone between albums?
