Megadeth

About

When Dave Mustaine was ousted from Metallica in 1983, he channeled his fury into creating something even fiercer: Megadeth. Emerging as one of the "Big Four" of thrash metal, Megadeth carved out a niche with their razor-sharp riffs, technical precision, and politically charged lyrics. Albums like *Rust in Peace* (1990) became masterclasses in progressive thrash, blending Mustaine’s virtuosic guitar work with complex arrangements and dystopian themes. Over the decades, Megadeth has evolved, experimenting with melody and groove while maintaining their signature intensity. Despite lineup changes and personal struggles, Mustaine has remained the band’s driving force, crafting anthems like "Symphony of Destruction" and "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" that resonate with fans worldwide. Today, Megadeth continues to push boundaries, proving that their music is as vital and uncompromising as ever.
