Bio:
Megadeth is an American thrash metal band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1983 by guitarist Dave Mustaine and bassist David Ellefson, shortly after Mustaine's dismissal from Metallica. A pioneer of the American thrash metal scene, the band is credited as one of the genre's "big four" along with Anthrax, Metallica, and Slayer, who were responsible for thrash metal's development and popularization. Megadeth plays in a technical style often featuring fast rhythm sections and complex arrangements; themes of death, war, politics, and religion are prominent in the group's lyrics.In 1985, the group released its debut album through the independent label Combat Records. The album's moderate commercial success caught the attention of bigger labels, which led to the band signing with Capitol Records. The band's first major label album, Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?, was released in 1986 and was highly influential in the underground metal scene. Despite the album's prominence in thrash metal, frequent disputes between the band members and issues with substance abuse earned the band negative publicity during this period.After the lineup stabilized, Megadeth released a number of platinum-selling albums, including Rust in Peace (1990) and Countdown to Extinction (1992). These albums, along with touring worldwide, helped bring public recognition to Megadeth. The band temporarily disbanded in 2002 when Mustaine suffered an arm injury and re-established in 2004 without bassist Ellefson, who had taken legal action against Mustaine. Ellefson settled with Mustaine out of court and rejoined the group in 2010. Megadeth has hosted its own music festival, Gigantour, several times since mid-2005.As of 2014, Megadeth has sold 50 million records worldwide, with six of its fourteen studio albums certified platinum in the United States, and has received eleven Grammy nominations. The band's mascot, Vic Rattlehead, regularly appears on album artwork, and from 2010 in live shows. The group has experienced controversy over its musical approach and lyricism, including canceled concerts and bans of albums. MTV has refused to play two of the band's videos that the network considered to condone suicide.
Album:
Metal legends MEGADETH just released their final, self-titled album, via Dave Mustaine’s Tradecraft imprint in partnership with Frontiers Label Group’s new BLKIIBLK label.They made an arrangement with Tatget.com for the release of the album with an exclusive bonus track: the original track ‘Bloodlust‘ (written by Dave Mustaine, Teemu Mäntysaari and Mary Clement), alongside the fresh, killer version of ‘Ride The Lightning’.But there’s more: To celebrate the release week of Megadeth’s new album, they have made available a Special Expanded Digital Edition of the album including the exclusive track ‘Nobody’s Hero‘, available at their website until 11:59 PM on Thursday, January 29. This version features the ‘Exclusive X-Ray cover artwork’, and it’s delivered via email upon purchase.We have both exclusives and You saw it here first at our blog.“‘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.“There’s so many musicians that have come to the end of their career, whether accidental or intentional,” Dave Mustaine says. “Most of them don’t get to go out on their own terms on top, and that’s where I’m at in my life right now. I have traveled the world and have made millions upon millions of fans and the hardest part of all of this is saying goodbye to them. We can’t wait for you to hear this album and see us on tour. If there was ever a perfect time for us to put out a new album, it’s now.”Megadeth” was produced Dave Mustaine and Chris Rakestraw, and it will be Megadeth’s only album with guitarist Teemu Mäntysaari (who is a superb player btw), and their first since 2009’s Endgame to feature bassist James LoMenzo.Megadeth are going out on a high with a killer final album, one that skilfully captures their leader’s blazing inner fire, just as it is extinguished by his own, masterful hand. What a way to go.
