Released in 2015, \u003cem\u003eThe Threat Is Real\u003c\/em\u003e EP arrived with Kiko Loureiro barely warm in the guitar seat and Dave Mustaine sounding like he had something to prove again, which, knowing Dave, he always does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo tracks: the title cut, a groove-heavy mid-tempo snarl that landed on the \u003cem\u003eDystopia\u003c\/em\u003e album the following year, and \u003cem\u003eForeign Policy\u003c\/em\u003e on the B-side, a track that didn't make the album cut and gives this 7-inch its reason to exist beyond completionism. For the Megadeth collector, that B-side alone justifies shelf space. For the newcomer who just got into thrash metal through a YouTube rabbit hole at 2am, it's as good a place as any to fall in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard 7-inch vinyl EP.
