Megadeth have released a video showing how their promo for Lying In State was created.
The song features on the band’s latest album Dystopia, with the official Leo Liberti-directed video for the track being unveiled at the start of this month.
Speaking previously about the track, Megadeth vocalist and guitarist Dave Mustaine said: “Lying In State is actually a second part of Conquer Or Die. These two parts were supposed to be sequenced together.
“The Lying In State part is a double entendre which I’m pretty familiar with doing. The lying in state was a place where, once you die, you’re lying in state for all to see. Or, right now, with people who are still upright, standing by the podium, lying in a position of state.
“The song is about how it is here with almost every single politician. It talks about how I’ve seen the world change in the years that I’ve been alive. I guess the double entendre came from watching a lot of these politicians, you just know when they’re asked a question the answer is such spin.”
Megadeth will head out on the road later this year with dates planned in Mexico and across Europe. Find a full list of live shows below.
