  • Megadeth is an American thrash metal band from Los Angeles. The group was formed in 1983 by guitarist/vocalist Dave Mustaine and bassist David Ellefson, following Mustaine's expulsion from Metallica. The band has since released fourteen studio albums, four live albums, two extended plays, five compilation albums, one box set, and numerous singles and music videos. Megadeth rose to international fame in the late 1980s. Megadeth, alongside Anthrax, Metallica, and Slayer, is ranked as one of the "Big Four" of thrash metal, whose commercial success led to popularization of the genre. As an early pioneer of thrash metal, Megadeth is regarded as one of the progenitors for the burgeoning extreme metal movement of the late 1980s and early 1990s. With 50 million records sold worldwide, Megadeth is considered to be one of the most successful American heavy metal bands. Over the course of its career, Megadeth has earned twelve Grammy nominations, winning one for Best Metal Performance for the song "Dystopia" in 2017. In 1993, the title track of the fifth studio album, Countdown to Extinction, was awarded with the Humane Society's Genesis Award for dealing with issues of animal welfare. (en)
