35th Anniversary 35-Track, 4LP Anthology Spanning the Metal Titans Career from Killing Is My Business to 2017s Grammy Award-Winning Dystopia!

Metal leviathans Megadeth celebrate their 35th anniversary with the release of the 35-track, 4LP career retrospective Warheads On Foreheads. The new anthology spans their entire studio recording career, from their first album Killing Is My Business to their 2017 Grammy Award-winning release Dystopia. 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 US military term for targeting efficiency, its 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 bands 1985 debut Killing Is My BusinessAnd Business Is Good, an album that would lay down the blueprint and establish Megadeth as forerunners of what would later be called thrash metal. Megadeth soon signed to Capitol Records and released their 1986 major label debut Peace SellsBut Whos Buying?, which became the bands first certified gold record and would go on to become Megadeths first platinum selling release. Featured on Warheads On Foreheads 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 WarsThe 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 Megadeths 1994 platinum selling release Youthanasia, Kingmaker from their 2013 Top 10 release Super Collider, She-Wolf from the Grammy- nominated, Top 10 release Cryptic Writings (1997) and the title track from the bands most recent album Dystopia.
