Megadeth
Founded by Dave Mustaine after his acrimonious firing from Metallica, Megadeth channeled that rage into some of thrash metal's most technically brilliant and politically charged music. 'Rust in Peace' and 'Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?' are cornerstones of the genre, showcasing Mustaine's razor-sharp riffing, sardonic wit, and complex arrangements that elevated thrash beyond brute force. As one of the Big Four of thrash metal, Megadeth have sold over 38 million records and remain a vital force in heavy music after four decades.
