MEGADETH

Release Year: 2013
Artist Origin: USA
Style: poignant energetic thrash speed metal

comparing to a spontaneous debut, the sophomore full-length [1986] by legendary speed/thrash four-piece sounds surprisingly matured and super successful, showcasing their technical prowess and highly aggressive style: known as the first recording in a glorious string of ultra classical Megadeth series, it is packed with complex and memorable guitar riffs, backed up by dynamic and powerful rhythm section, and crowned by characteristically snarling and gritty Mustaine's voice, revealing much improved expression and diversity of hard-hitting compositions - it is simply sinful to ignore such rebellious extreme metal anthems as Good Mourning / Black Friday, Wake Up Dead, My Last Words or the smasher title track, compulsory in any and all "the best of" lists; exclusive Japanese hi-end SHM-CD edition comes with a remastered sound, remixed beforehand by Mustaine himself, featuring four bonus remixes of the album songs, while booklet is enriched by Dave's comments and rare photo archive, along extra insert written in Nihongo, and OBI strip
