MEGADETH

The third European re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
A Thrash Metal classic in every sense of the word!
...During the beginning of 1985, the band was given $8000 by Combat Records to record and produce their debut album, but this proved to not be enough, so the band was given a further $4000. Instead, a majority of the budget was spent on drugs, alcohol and food, so thus the band was forced to fire their original producer and produce it themselves...
...Despite the resulting poor production, the album was a well-received effort, and received positive reviews from most music critics. "Killing Is My Business ...And Business Is Good!" blends elements of Thrash and Speed Metal, and explores themes of death, violence and social commentary. The album featured track "Mechanix", a song Dave Mustaine originally wrote for Metallica (renamed by Metallica to "The Four Horsemen" in “Kill 'Em All” album, with changed lyrics, a bridge section and a new guitar solo added).
Undoubtedly, "Killing Is My Business ...And Business Is Good!" is Megadeth's rawest-sounding, most intense, fastest, angriest, and overall Thrashiest album they've ever released!!
Relativity Records/Century Media Records/Lonely Planet Productions, 1985/2011 (9962300). Made in Germany.
