| | Megadeth Countdown To Extinction CD Megadeth Discography of CDs
 (19 Customer Reviews)
Megadeth achieved massive success with its aggressive fourth album, RUST IN PEACE, and its follow-up, 1992's COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION, combined the band's trademark thrash metal with hints of the more mainstream territory that would be further charted on the subsequent YOUTHANASIA. However, on COUNTDOWN, Megadeth never sacrifices its characteristic crunch. "Symphony of Destruction" and "Skin O' My Teeth" boast a slightly streamlined sound, but the anger, sarcasm, and signature snarl of frontman Dave Mustaine remain wholly intact. By this time, many major thrash groups had started slowing things down a bit, and Megadeth showed it could be just as powerful doing mid-tempo rockers as it could with high-velocity barnstormers. As always, Mustaine's dark lyrics tackle a range of personal, social, and political topics, the former best exemplified by the multi-faceted "Sweating Bullets," which features Mustaine carrying on a dialogue with his own tortured psyche.

Megadeth has always been a "progressive" metal band in that the musicians take a thrash approach and expand upon it. RISK is no different. The album title stems from the experimental approach taken by the band. RISK will definitely please the Mega-diehards and may draw in some new listeners as well.

One of the most criminally overlooked singles of the early '80s, China Crisis' "Working With Fire and Steel" displayed exactly what was great, fresh, and exciting about the wonderfully postmodern British new wave movement. From its perfectly Teutonic 142 bpm, to its insistent fretless bassline and Aztec Camera-like acoustic guitar flourishes, "Working With Fire and Steel" seemed a likely candidate to succeed "Wishful Thinking" as the group's biggest-selling single. Why it did not is a question for the ages. The fault certainly did not lie in the musicianship (which was stellar and creative throughout). Nor did it lie in the overall production, which was a benchmark effort from producer Mike ...

DISARMONIA MUNDIfrom Ashes to Darkness, a Descent into IsolationTalking about Disarmonia Mundi is like talking about an ever morphing foetus that despite being not born yet keeps changing throughout the time without achieving a complete form of any sort, eventually leaving the observer quite confused about the identity and the purpose of its strange and ever changing nature...Let’s start from the easiest part: there have been style changes, there have been line-up changes, but the only thing that remained (and probably always will be) unchanged since the beginning of this band is the presence of Ettore Rigotti as a player, composer, sound-engineer and producer.We could easily say that Disarmonia Mundi is simply his own vision of extreme-melodic music and end the biography right here, but it would maybe be a little disappointing for you all, so we’ll have to spend some more words about the past of this band and find a better way to introduce you to its bizarre world.It all started around the year 2000 when Ettore with a bunch of friends/musicians composed and recorded into his own home-studio the first self-produced opus entitled Nebularium: a brilliant piece of progressive and atmospheric extreme music. Despite lacking a massive distribution and live activity (due to line-up problems) the record received an amazing feedback from both media and metal fans and allowed the band to sign a contract for the worldwide distribution of the next two albums.While working on the new album the band almost lost all of its components (except Mirco, the bass player and of course Ettore) and joined forces with Claudio to complete the lyrics and vocal structures of the new songs and successfully got in contact with Speed ...
