MEGADETH has yet to announce replacements for drummer Shawn Drover and guitarist Chris Broderick, who quit the band last year.

Earlier today, MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine posted the following message via Twitter: "I'm excited to be auditioning one of my final picks for my new guitarist today."

Mustaine also revealed that MEGADETH will enter the studio on March 17 to begin recording its new album, tentatively due before the end of the year.
