The World Needs a Hero is the ninth studio album by American thrash metal band Megadeth, released on May 15, 2001, by Sanctuary Records.[2] After the critical and commercial failure of the previous album Risk (1999), The World Needs a Hero represented a change back to a heavier musical direction. Subsequently, the album charted at number 16 on the Billboard 200 upon release.
After parting with former label Capitol Records, the album was the first of two Megadeth studio albums to be released by Sanctuary. It was the last of two studio albums to feature drummer Jimmy DeGrasso and the only one to feature Al Pitrelli on lead guitar. Furthermore, The World Needs a Hero was the last album with original bassist David Ellefson until his return to Megadeth in 2010. It is also the first album to feature the band's mascot Vic Rattlehead on the cover since 1990's Rust in Peace. It also marked the return of Megadeth's classic logo on the cover since 1994's Youthanasia.
At 57 minutes and 49 seconds, The World Needs a Hero was Megadeth's longest album until the release of The Sick, the Dying... and the Dead! in 2022. It also contains Megadeth's longest song, "When", clocking in at 9 minutes and 14 seconds.
