Megadeth Retrospective Spans 35 Year Career

Megadeth celebrate their 35th Anniversary with the release of Warheads On Foreheads, a 35-track, career retrospective. The anthology spans their entire studio recording career, from their first album Killing Is My Business…to their 2017 Grammy Award winning release Dystopia. It is available as a 3-CD set, a 4-LP set and a digital edition. A limited edition, four-LP set pressed on silver colored vinyl will be available exclusively through the band’s online store, with deluxe bundles to be announced.

“Thirty five years ago I chose the name Megadeth for my band and I see these songs as the most efficient weapons in the bands arsenal,” says Dave Mustaine. “WOF is a U.S. military term for targeting efficiency,” Mustaine continues, “it’s all about using the right tool for the job and these tracks were created for maximum destruction (or stopping power, or something else!)”.

Warheads On Foreheads starts at the beginning with the early thrashers “Rattlehead” and “Mechanix” from the band’s 1985 debut Killing Is My Business…And Business Is Good, an album that would lay down the blueprint and establish Megadeth as forerunners of what would later be called Thrash Metal.

Featured from their album Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying? are “The Conjuring” and the track “Good Mourning/Black Friday”. Other songs included are “In My Darkest Hour” from their platinum selling So Far, So Good, So What! (1988), “Hanger 18” and “Holy Wars…The Punishment Due” from their Grammy nominated, platinum album Rust In Peace (1990), and “Symphony of Destruction” and “Sweating Bullets” from their 1992 Grammy nominated, double platinum release Countdown To Extinction.  Also featured are “A Tout Le Monde” and “Reckoning Day” from their 1994 platinum release Youthanasia, “Kingmaker” from their 2013 Top Ten release Super Collider, “She-Wolf” from the Grammy nominated, Top Ten release Cryptic Writings (1997) and the title track from the band’s most recent album Grammy-winning Dystopia.
