Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!

1985

Megadeth's debut album establishes the foundation of the thrash sound that would define the band. Recorded on a minimal budget with raw production, this record captures the pure rage and speed that Dave Mustaine sought after his departure from Metallica. With devastating riffs and a ruthless attitude, it marks the birth of one of extreme metal's most important forces.
