Verbeuren's current role as part of MEGADETH has been well-received by the band's leader, Dave Mustaine, who has described him as "one of the most pleasant and easy-to-get-along-with guys" he has ever met.

MEGADETH recently released their self-titled final album via Tradecraft imprint on Frontiers Label Group's new BLKIIBLK label.

The album debuted at number one on the U.S.

Their current farewell tour is expected to last several years, and Verbeuren's comments hint at the band's intention to create lasting documentation of their time together.
