Founded in 1983 by Dave Mustaine after his departure from Metallica, Megadeth quickly rose as one of the pillars of American thrash metal, alongside Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax. The band stands out for its technical compositions, sharp political lyrics, and Mustaine’s razor-edged guitar work.

From their debut album Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!, the tone was set: frenzied riffs, precise solos, and a biting critique of war, politics, and media manipulation. In 1986, Peace Sells... But Who’s Buying? solidified their cult status, with its iconic cover featuring Vic Rattlehead, the band’s unmistakable mascot.

On MusikMachine, you’ll find collector stickers and an official embroidered patch paying tribute to the Peace Sells album — perfect for battle jackets or backpacks of true thrash devotees 🤘
