Endgame is the twelfth studio album by American thrash metal band Megadeth. It was released by Roadrunner Records in September 15, 2009. Endgame was the first Megadeth album with guitarist Chris Broderick. It is the band's last album with bassist James LoMenzo, because original bassist David Ellefson joined the band again after Endgame was released.

Endgame came out at number nine on the Billboard 200 charts. It also reached number one on the U.S. Top Hard Rock albums chart.[2] A single from the album, "Head Crusher", was nominated for a Grammy Award, but it did not win.[3] Music critics liked the album,[4][5] and it has sold around 150,000 copies in the U.S.[6]
