![]() ![]() Re-charged, Dystopia starts with echoing vocals by Jordanian Farah Siraj in Middle Eastern style before being struck with heavy and fast signature Megadeth riffs. ![]() Their fifteenth overall, it is produced by Mustaine, along with accomplished Metal engineer Chris Rakestraw, the latest edition of Megadeth consists of Mustaine on vocals/guitar, Ellefson on bass/backing vocals, Lamb of God’s Chris Adler on drums, and Angra’s Kiko Loureiro on guitar. Releasing one impressive record after another, including 2013’s Super Collider, Megadeth are back in 2016 with Dystopia. The wave of popularity did not cease there and Megadeth went on to release three more consecutive platinum selling albums 1992’s Countdown to Extinction, 1994’s Youthanasia, and 1997’s Cryptic Writings.Ī top of the Metal scene, Megadeth rank alongside Anthrax, Slayer, and Metallica, in the recent decade known as “The Big Four.” Now over three decades later, Mustaine has survived substance abuse, a debilitating injury to his left arm and hand, and several band lineup changes to still have Megadeth standing strong. Through ups and downs, the band pumped out another excellent album in 1988 with So Far, So Good… So What!, and what is considered one of their best, 1990’s Rust in Peace. Rising to the top of the Metal world quickly, Megadeth’s 1985 debut album, Killing Is My Business… and Business Is Good!, was only the beginning, and just a year later, they released the epic Peace Sells… but Who’s Buying? The success of the record launched Megadeth into the Thrash Metal scene with screaming guitars and hypnotic vocals. Coming shortly after Mustaine was dropped by Metallica, the twenty-two year old decided to continue his career in music by creating his own band, in his own vision. Heavy Metal band Megadeth came together in Los Angeles, California back in 1983 when Guitarist Dave Mustaine and Bassist David Ellefson joined forces. ![]()
