Rust in Peace: Megadeth's Rise to Thrash Metal Olympus

When the album “Rust In Peace” was released in 1990, Megadeth’s future became a big question. After playing at the legendary “Monsters of Rock” festival in England in 1988 in front of a record number of spectators, Megadeth suddenly found themselves at the losing end, while their colleagues—Slayer, Anthrax, and Metallica—released new albums and topped the charts.

Megadeth had to surprise people. And it happened! The new album earned “platinum” status and entered the history of thrash metal. In this book, the band’s vocalist and guitarist Dave Mustaine tells—down to the smallest details—how the masterpiece called “Rust in Peace” was created, the band’s iconic album. This first-person story, candid and gripping, holds you from start to finish—you feel as if you’re right in the center of the events! Other musicians also took part in creating the book, and Mustaine’s friend, the legendary Slash, wrote the foreword. Megadeth can be either loved or hated, but the story of their fall and rise to the Olymp of rock music will leave no one indifferent.
