Megadeth release new music video for ‘I Don’t Care’

MEGADETH have released a brand new music video!

The new music video, for the track I Don’t Care, is the latest single from the American thrash metal titans and is taken from their upcoming self-titled album, which is scheduled to be released on January 23rd, 2026 via Tradecraft/BLKIIBLK. The video was directed by Keith J Leman and blends skate culture visuals with dynamic band performance footage.

Speaking about the track, band leader Dave Mustaine says, “how many times have you wanted to say this to someone? I know you want to! Deep down inside, if we had the balls, we would tell more people, ‘I don’t care’ more often.”

On the music, Mustaine adds, “part of the main riff in this track had been floating around in my head since we did TSTD&TD, so I was pumped to start recording I Don’t Care for this LP. I really love the guitar nuances in the track. There is the main rhythm riff, next, a very deliberate down-picking part, next, the octave chords with jump picking on octave notes (while still down-picking!). And the soloing and back and forth between me and Teemu [Mäntysaari] is magnificent!!”
