MEGADETH
Credited with pioneering the sound that would become known the world over as thrash metal, MEGADETH has become one of metal’s most influential and respected acts – not to mention among its most successful.
Working their way up from headlining clubs to headlining arenas, festival and stadiums, the band has gone on to sell more than 38 million albums worldwide, earning numerous accolades including a 2017 Grammy® Award for Best Metal Performance for the title track “Dystopia,” 12 Grammy® nominations, and scoring five consecutive Platinum albums.
MEGADETH’s 1985 debut, Killing Is My Business…And Business Is Good!, was lauded by VH1 as the “Greatest Thrash Metal Debut Album of All Time.” The next year, Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying? became the band’s first certified Gold record and went on to become their first Platinum-selling release.
They followed with their Platinum-selling So Far, So Good, So What!; Grammy®-nominated, Platinum album Rust In Peace, featuring “Hanger 18” and “Holy Wars…The Punishment Due;” Grammy®-nominated, double Platinum Countdown To Extinction, with singles “Symphony of Destruction” and “Sweating Bullets;” Platinum-selling Youthanasia, featuring “A Tout Le Monde” and “Reckoning Day;” Super Collider, which hit No. 3 on both the Hard Rock and Top Rock albums charts; and the Grammy®-nominated, Top 10 release, Cryptic Writing, featuring “She-Wolf.”
In 2016, MEGADETH released their 15th studio effort, Dystopia, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200, No. 1 on the Hard Music/Top Rock chart, No. 2 on the Top Album Sales chart, No. 2 on iTunes’ Top Albums chart and No 1. on iTunes’ Metal chart. The title track, “Dystopia,” went on to win a 2017 Grammy® Award for Best Metal Performance.
