To celebrate release week Megadeth released a special expanded digital edition of the album including the exclusive track "Nobody's Hero," available until 11:59pm on Thursday, January 29 (local time). "'Nobody's Hero' was the first song we worked on during the session, which is funny because it didn't end up on the album. Everything we'd written up to that point had to fight for a place on the record. Some riffs were replaced by better ones. Some songs never quite got finished, and others rose to the top. 'Nobody's Hero' has been around for a while and it really shows how quickly we found our groove once we got into the studio, so I'm glad it's finally going to see the light of day in our exclusive digital release." - Dave Mustaine
