The first re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by legendary American/Czech Death Metal band.
Since the dawn of human intellectualism, self-aware individuals have sought solitude. Paul Speckmann finds his own solidarity in expressing apathy towards society... Master is the most well-known project of bassist, vocalist, and songwriter Paul Speckmann. Prominent in the early Extreme Metal Underground as one of the first Death Metal bands, they are also one of the most influential artists alongside Death and Possessed. Master helped invent the genre of Grindcore as well, expanding on a heavy influence of Motörhead, Venom and Slayer.
Originally released by Pavement Music on April 7th 1998, "Faith Is In Season" marks the true return to brutality for the band. Thick bass reproduction stands out on this raw, muscular recording, as well as lyrical content that is full of visceral emotion and antisocial resistance. Similar to 1990s contemporaries like Vader or Obituary, Master solidified their craft with “Faith Is In Season” and has since strayed minimally.
This sixteen track beast clocks in at close to 54 minutes of pure terror, sheer madness and primal rage, and highly recommended for fans of Asphyx, Autopsy, Benediction, Bolt Thrower, Cancer, Entombed, Grave, Malevolent Creation, Mantas, Massacre, Morgoth, Obituary, Pestilence, Repulsion, Sinister, Napalm Death, Discharge, and Motörhead! A mandatory piece of Death Metal history!!

The first re-release of the fifth full-length studio album by legendary American/Czech Death Metal band.
Paul Speckmann played a key role in the Death Metal formative years, with bands like Terrorizer and Entombed acknowledging him and Master as a major influence. And both Master’s first effort and the one and only Deathstrike album could be considered classics even today, thanks to their intensity and to a simple but effective songwriting style.
Master have never played Death Metal in the pure sense of the term, rather a form of down tuned heavy Thrash, and this style is to be found again here. “Let’s Start A War” has turned out to be a solid and good-class disc containing guitar-heavy Death Metal that has a little more to offer besides aggressiveness. If you can’t imagine what that is, Master can best be described as a mixture between Crowbar and Bold Thrower. “Dictators” rekindle with the glorious Deathstrike days, while “Cast One Vote”, “American Freedom” and especially “Disturbed” clearly sound like classic Master tracks. Lyrically, Paul Speckmann continues with his anti-American crusade.
Legendary Old-school Death Metal veteran Paul Speckmann returns with the re-release of Master’s “Let’s Start A War”. This remastered re-release includes completely new artwork, first time used on first CD re-release from 2012.

The fifteenth full-length studio album by legendary American/Czech Death Metal band.
First new album in almost 8 years! When it says Master, you get Master!! And “Saints Dispelled” is 100% Master!!!
One of Death Metal’s founding bands, Master have been at the forefront of the style from the very beginning, being one of the first bands to ever adapt to this style back in the genre’s infancy. After forty years on from the start, Master, a.k.a. the Motörhead of Death Metal, give us another viscous Death Metal offering. They have mastered what it means to produce high octane, ear drum bursting, unrelenting Death Metal once again. With a discography one can not count on two hands, they have rarely skipped a beat in producing the fast-paced brutality we all so love and enjoy, and "Saints Dispelled" is no exception, maybe we would rate it among their better albums (time will tell).
This clearly is not the kind of album you can listen to while reading a nice book and drinking some warm tea. Between the pounding drums, merciless riffing, and, of course, Speckmann’s wonderfully hideous vocals, “Saints Dispelled” does nothing short of furiously, punishing your mind. Start to finish, the album consistently splits your spine and breaks your neck with the mightiness of Master's perfect idea of what Old-school Death Metal means!

The second full-length studio album by legendary Dutch Disco duo.
Sisters Karen and Alice May released the album which solidified their success on the European stage thanks to its combination of sunny Pop melodies and professional vocal performance.
The album contains successful singles such as "Distant Love" and the energetic composition "Rio", the names of which are printed on the front of the cover to attract the attention of listeners. Maywood's music of this period is distinguished by its lightness, melody and characteristic sound of early 80s Pop music.

The fifteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Produced by Mustaine and Chris Rakestraw, it was released on frontman and guitarist Dave Mustaine's Tradecraft label via Universal Music Group. Prior to “Dystopia”'s recording, longtime drummer Shawn Drover and guitarist Chris Broderick announced their departure from the band.
Musically, "Dystopia" is more energetic and focused than anything Megadeth have released in quite a while. Following the lukewarm response to the band's previous album, 2013's “Super Collider”, “Dystopia” received largely favorable reaction from critics, being considered a return to form for the band. The album debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 chart, making “Dystopia” the band's second highest charting album in the U.S. after “Countdown To Extinction”, which peaked at number two in 1992. Additionally, the title track earned the band its first Grammy win (for Best Metal Performance) at the 59th Grammy Awards after eleven unsuccessful nominations. The album sold 148 000 copies in the US by December 2016, becoming the second biggest-selling Heavy Metal album released in 2016.

The first re-release of the twelfth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
The release of "Endgame" brings with it a startling realization - if first-generation Thrash Metal fans had been polled about which of the genre's "Big Four" (Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth) would prove to be the most resilient and consistently prolific over the next quarter-century, the only sure-fire consensus would probably have been: "well, anyone but Megadeth!". And yet, 12 studio albums and 150-plus songs later (more than any of the other three have managed) that's exactly what's come to pass.
It was the second Megadeth album released through Roadrunner Records. This album is the debut for new guitarist Chris Broderick (ex-Nevermore, Jag Panzer), following Glen Drover's departure in 2008 and the band's last studio album with bass guitarist James LoMenzo; original bassist Dave Ellefson would rejoin the band only several months after the album's release.
The album was the continuing of the success from the band's previous album "United Abominations". "Endgame" entered the Billboard 200 at number 9 (marking the band's tenth overall top 10 debut), and has sold around 150000 copies in the U.S. as of April 2011. "Head Crusher" had been nominated for "Best Metal Performance" at the 52nd annual Grammy Awards.
"Endgame" is arguably the least commercially concerned Megadeth album since "Rust In Peace" some 20 years earlier, and by touching on so many of the favoured songwriting styles of those early years, it should not only give their typically opinionated fan base very little to kvetch and moan about, but also throw new fuel upon the flames of Megadeth's unlikely longevity.

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!!

First re-release on Pic-Vinyl of the second full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
One of the most influential Thrash Metal albums of the decade. The first big commercial success of Megadeth, followed by a first world tour.
Arguably Megadeth's strongest effort and a classic of early Thrash, "Peace Sells..." combines a Punkish political awareness with a dark, threatening, typically Heavy Metal world-view, preoccupied with evil, the occult, and the like. The anthemic title track and "Wake Up Dead" are the two major standouts, and there is also a cover of Willie Dixon's "I Ain't Superstitious", which takes on an air of supernaturally induced paranoia in the album's context. The lines between hell and earth are blurred throughout the album, and the crashing, complex music backs up Dave Mustaine's apocalyptic vision of life as damnation - his limited vocal style is used to great effect, growling and snarling in a barely intelligible fashion under all the complicated guitar work.
This was the last Megadeth album to feature drummer Gar Samuelson and guitarist Chris Poland, who were fired shortly after the album was released.
"Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?" is highly regarded as a Thrash Metal classic and as an album that gave prominence to Extreme Metal. It has been featured in several publications' best album lists, including Robert Dimery's "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" and Martin Popoff's "Top 500 Heavy Metal Albums of All Time".

The fourteenth Single by the legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Released in UK only, it is the fourth Single from the band's fifth full-length studio album, "Countdown to Extinction".
The song, written by Dave Mustaine, deals with the theme of a failed suicide attempt. The song has often been thought to promote suicide, what is incorrectly, according to Mustaine: "This is a song about how many times I tried to kill myself and just couldn't get the fucking job done. This is "Skin O'My Teeth"! That's about people who want to end it and just can't get it together. You know, they cut their wrist; it's just not deep enough. Or they decide to get hit by a car and it just breaks their leg or something. This song in no way condones suicide. Life sucks, that's why people get fat and lazy; this is "Skin O' My Teeth".
The release also includes the previously unavailable tracks "Holy Wars (General Schwarzkopf Mix)" and a live version of "High Speed Dirt".

The thirteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Darker, heavier, and more immediate than 2009's "Endgame", Dave Mustaine's snarling vocals ride higher in the mix this time around, but fans need not fear, as his fleet fingers are still possessed with the power to conjure the dead!
It is the first Megadeth studio album since “The World Needs a Hero” (2001) on which bass guitarist and founding member Dave Ellefson performs. This is the third and final album in the band's contract with Roadrunner Records. Album features a combination of newly composed tracks, along with older cuts written years ago, but never put to tape. Three tracks of the album are re-recordings of songs that were written around 1991 and have already been released on other Megadeth albums. A demo version of "New World Order" was included on the 2004 remastered edition of "Youthanasia". "Black Swan" was originally written for the "Youthanasia" recording sessions. It was released as a bonus track on the remastered deluxe version of "Youthanasia" and "United Abominations". "Millennium of the Blind" was also released as a bonus track on the 2004 remastered version of "Youthanasia".
The lead single from “Thirteen” was the Al Capone-inspired "Public Enemy No. 1". This was followed by "Whose Life (Is It Anyways?)" about a month later. A third song from the album, "Sudden Death", was released as a single prior to the announcement of “Thirteen” to promote "Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock". Both "Sudden Death" and "Public Enemy No. 1" received Grammy nominations, as did "Whose Life (Is It Anyways?)". "Whose Life" and "Public Enemy No. 1" were nominated for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance at the 55th and 54th Grammy Awards respectively, and "Sudden Death" was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 53rd Grammy Awards.
“Thirteen” debuted at number 11 on the Billboard 200 chart and has sold about 120 000 copies in the United States as of December 2012. The album has received mostly positive reviews from critics and has a Metacritic rating of 71/100.

The sixteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Released on frontman Dave Mustaine's Tradecraft label via Universal, it is the first Megadeth album to feature drummer Dirk Verbeuren, their last album with guitarist Kiko Loureiro, and their first studio album in six years since "Dystopia" (2016), marking the longest gap between two studio albums in the band's career.
Work on The "Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!" began in 2019, but faced a number of delays due to Mustaine being diagnosed with throat cancer the same year, along with the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In 2021, long-time bassist David Ellefson was dismissed from Megadeth following allegations of sexual misconduct. His bass parts were removed from the album and were re-recorded by Testament bassist Steve Di Giorgio, while former bassist James LoMenzo rejoined the band following the album's completion. The album was produced by Mustaine and Chris Rakestraw.
As of December 2022, six Singles have been released from the album. The first, "We'll Be Back", was released via streaming services on June 23, with "Night Stalkers" following on July 22. The third Single to be released was "Soldier On!" on August 12. The title track was released as a Single on September 2, the same day as the album.
"Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!" received generally positive reviews, and debuted at No. 3 on the US Billboard 200 with 48 000 units and is Megadeth's highest-charting album around the rest of the world, reaching No. 1 in Finland, No. 2 in Australia, Poland, Switzerland and Scotland, and No. 3 in the UK, among others. The lead single "We'll Be Back" was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards.

The second Single from the fifteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Following a heavy, punchy beast of a lead Single "Fatal Illusion", Mustaine and company have upped the ante even further with "The Threat Is Real", while also providing a rock-solid reminder of where this band came from, as well as a big part of where the Bay Area sound itself derived its unique character.
The structure of this single's A-side is fairly similar to its immediate predecessor, featuring introduction material and cycling through a series of twists and turns in a manner fairly reminiscent of the elaborate approach of "Rust In Peace". But here a long, gradual move from a marching stomp feel at the beginning is traded out for an atmospheric middle eastern inspired prelude that is hauntingly beautiful despite the ominous picture that it paints, which is immediately followed by a more agitated riff set that has all the menacing clatter of an AK-47, but still with a general feeling of buildup. The riff set is quite busy, the mixture of the whole resounds in a very heavy-handed way comparable to the percussive character of a modern groove outfit, and the lead guitar exchange between Dave and Angra's own Kiko Loureiro manages to recapture that primitive shredding vs. Progressive noodling dichotomy that Mustaine originally shared with Marty Friedman.
Of equal importance to the power of this short studio outing is the B-side, a cover of Fear's classic "Foreign Policy", highlighting Hardcore Punk's highly synergistic relationship with Thrash Metal in a manner quite similar to when Megadeth covered "Anarchy In The UK" back in the day. In terms of execution this song is more of a faithful reproduction with a few obligatory present day exaggerations, particularly a more wailing set of lead guitar noise during the brief instrumental breaks, a more gravely and nasty vocal display out of Mustaine, and an even heavier overall sound that is actually more aggressive sounding than anything Megadeth has pulled off in their more than 30 years of existence.
Released on November 25, 2015 on streaming services, and on November 27, 2015 on vinyl, "The Threat Is Real" is the second most performed song from the album, being played nearly 230 times as of September 2022. The song debuted live in Denver, Colorado, on February 23, 2016. A live performance filmed at Hellfest 2016 was featured on the DVD of the Japanese Deluxe Edition of "Dystopia".
The song was ranked the third greatest from the album by Return Of Rock.

The first re-release of the eleventh full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Megadeth has been through a lot of line-up upheaval circa the early 21st century, with long-time leader Dave Mustaine being the only familiar face left in attendance. But Megadeth's crunchy, venomous Thrash Metal has remained intact, as heard throughout their 2007 release, "United Abominations" (their first for the Roadrunner label).
While many Thrash Metal bands take the easy way out lyrically - by detailing their encounters with Señor Beelzebub - Mustaine has never shied away from voicing his opinion about politics and the state of the world. The lyrics of the album deal with politics and the state the world is in, stating the album is the band's most politically charged. And as evidenced by such biting tracks as "Washington Is Next!", "Gears of War", "Amerikhastan", and the title track, Mustaine remains as outspoken as ever about what he's been seeing on CNN for the past few years.
Musically, Megadeth were never afraid to show off their Prog-worthy chops, and the 2007 line-up (which sees Mustaine joined by bassist James LoMenzo and the sibling tandem of Glen Drover and Shawn Drover on guitar and drums) appears custom-made for tackling "tricky bits", including the album-opening "Sleepwalker". Elsewhere, a re-recording of "A Tout Le Monde" - as a duet between Mustaine and Lacuna Coil's Cristina Scabbia, has "radio/MTV airplay" written all over it.
While touring to promote the album, guitarist Glen Drover left the band for personal reasons and was replaced by Chris Broderick, leaving this as the only Megadeth studio album to which he contributed.
They may have lost the plot for a period, but with "United Abominations" Mustaine and company certainly sound reborn!
“United Abominations” was well received by critics and debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200, the highest chart position for the band since 1994's “Youthanasia”. The album was named the Number One Metal album of 2007 by Guitar World.
