Megadeth is an American thrash metal band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1983.
The team was founded by guitarist and vocalist Dave Mustaine and bassist David Ellefson right after Mustaine was fired from the band Metallica. Since then, Megadeth released 14 studio albums. The Group is one of the most commercially successful thrash metal bands, having sold over 50 million albums worldwide, including nominated for "Grammy" multi-platinum album Countdown to Extinction (you can also check Countdown To Extinction (20th Anniversary 2012 Edition, CD 1: remastered album) and CD 2). In the United States alone Megadeth won seven platinum, five gold albums and nine nominations for the prize "Grammy" as the best performer of the music in the genre of "heavy metal." The group disbanded in 2002 after Mustaine heavily damaged radial nerve, but, having physiotherapy in 2004, Mustaine has restored a group that in the same year released the album The System Has Failed, who started in 18th place in the hit parade of popular albums magazine Billboard.
