Formed in 1983 by guitarist and vocalist Dave Mustaine, MEGADETH are one of the most acclaimed and successful metal bands of the 80s and beyond. With a huge dose of ingenuity, Mustaine expanded the heavy metal sound, speed up the tempos, put the emphasis on fast, technical guitar skills and spat out nihilistic lyrics with palpable rancor. This new sound proved relentless and, during the 80s and 90s, gave birth to several thrash classics. Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?", "Rust In Peace" and "Countdown To Extinction" are milestones of an entire style and have sold millions of copies. "The Sick, The Dying... And The Dead", from 2022, is further proof of their undeniable vitality.
