The project sees Dave Mustaine pull back the curtain on 40 years of Megadeth, sharing untold stories of the band's past and the creative fire that drives them. Interwoven throughout, audiences will get to experience the world premiere of Megadeth’s new self-titled album in full, brought to life with a 40-year retrospective career-spanning interview and Mustaine's own track-by-track reflections about the band's final studio album.
"Megadeth" was co-produced by Mustaine and Chris Rakestraw; it marks the follow-up to 2022's “The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead!” To date, the set has been previewed with the release of two tracks: "I Don't Care" and "Tipping Point," the album's first single.
Megadeth have also announced a very special bonus track from the album: a reimagined version of "Ride The Lightning," which Mustaine co-wrote with Metallica's James Hetfield, Cliff Burton, and Lars Ulrich and was the title track from Metallica’s 1984 album.
Mustaine formed Megadeth in Los Angeles in 1983; it has gone on to sell more than 50 million records worldwide.
Tickets are now on sale for the film that will screen in over 1,000 cinemas across 35+ countries on the eve of the release of the band's final studio album out January 23.
