MEGADETH remain the unshakable epicenter of heavy metal—a band whose influence has defined and reshaped the genre since 1983. Founded and led by Dave Mustaine, they’ve sold over 50 million albums, won a GRAMMY®, and inspired generations across five decades. From the thrash revolution of the eighties to today’s streaming era, MEGADETH continue to balance furious speed, razor-sharp precision, and biting intelligence. Their cultural reach extends far beyond music, seeping into television, film, and even the world of craft beer—with their Megadeth Beer line now expanding globally through a 2025 partnership with Keystone.

Their seventeenth studio album, MEGADETH (2025), marks a fiery return to form—fast, uncompromising, and unmistakably their own. Mustaine, alongside Teemu Mäntysaari, James LoMenzo, and Dirk Verbeuren, crafted the record through an exhaustive deep-dive into the band’s catalog, distilling four decades of aggression and artistry into a record he calls their strongest yet. Tracks like “Tipping Point,” “I Don’t Care,” and “Let There Be Shred” channel their trademark mix of speed, melody, and precision, proving that even after all these years, MEGADETH are still hell-bent on total musical destruction—and as vital as ever.
