About Megadeth

Megadeth formed in Los Angeles in 1983, founded by singer and guitarist Dave Mustaine. They helped establish American thrash metal through fast rhythms, detailed guitar arrangements and technically demanding playing. Their lyrics often address politics, conflict and personal struggles, adding another layer of tension to music built around precise riffs and dual lead guitars.
