Megadeth have released a wrap up video showcasing their boot camp for fans.

The event was held at vocalist and guitarist Dave Mustaine’s private estate in Fallbrook, Southern California, earlier this month.

Attendees were able to take part in a Q&A session with the band, participate in guitar, bass and drum clinics, enjoy beer and wine tastings with Mustaine, watch an acoustic campfire performance by Megadeth and test their knowledge of the band in a trivia quiz.

The video shows fans and the band enjoying themselves over the weekend, with one saying: “I guess I died and went to metal heaven.”

Megadeth bassist David Ellefson previously released video footage of the event showing him and Mustaine playing a version of croquet.

Mustaine recently revealed that he and guitarist Kiko Loureiro had begun early work on what will be their 16th studio album and follow-up to 2016’s Dystopia.

Megadeth return to the road from next month, with dates planned in the Far East, North America and Europe.
