About Megadeth:<\/p>\n
Megadeth are always and forever the point of no return for metal. It would be nearly impossible to conceive where heavy music and culture would\u2019ve gone without the band founded, fronted, and fueled by vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, and producer Dave Mustaine. The blast radius of their impact has only magnified since 1983. Thus far, they have sold 50 million records worldwide, received a Grammy\u00ae Award (with 12 additional nominations), generated billions of streams, notched seven Top 10 entries on the Billboard 200, and enthralled millions of diehard fans in arenas and stadiums across the globe. Their catalog spans indisputable classics such as the platinum Peace Sells\u2026 But Who\u2019s Buying? (cited at #8 on Rolling Stone\u2019s \u201c100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time\u201d), the platinum Rust In Peace, and double-platinum Countdown To Extinction, which captured #2 on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, Dystopia notched a Top 3 debut and earned a Grammy\u00ae Award in the category of \u201cBest Metal Performance\u201d with its title track. They only upped the ferocity with The Sick, The Dying\u2026 And The Dead! in 2022. It saw them return to #3, receive a \u201cBest Metal Performance\u201d Grammy\u00ae Award nomination for \u201cWe\u2019ll Be Back,\u201d and incite rave reviews. Their influence can be felt practically everywhere\u2014whether it be Post Malone proudly sporting a tattoo of \u201cSo Far, So Good\u2026 So What!,\u201d Homer Simpson\u2019s iPod displaying their moniker during an episode, or Showtime\u2019s smash hit series Billions and Bill & Ted\u2019s Bogus Journey utilizing Megadeth in plot points. The band have delivered simultaneously relevant and timeless records in five decades now, setting the pace for the thrash renaissance of the eighties, tearing through the MTV years of the nineties with swagger and style, maintaining their stride in the post-Y2K 2000s, elevating to canonical heights in the social media and streaming era of the 2010s, and unassumingly harnessing the uncertainty and unease of the Post-Pandemic world into their boldest, biggest, and best work yet.<\/p>\n
Along the way, Megadeth extended their influence even further. During 2016, the band entered the spirits world with their very first signature beer \u00c0 Tout Le Monde followed by Saison 13 in 2019. The brand asserted itself as a player in the beverage space and impressively moved over 15 million pints. Joining forces with Keystone in 2025, they ignite the next phase of Megadeth Beer on the biggest global platform yet.<\/p>\n
Beyond his role as a music icon, Dave founded the visionary wine brand House Of Mustaine which uniquely blends music, culture, and fine winemaking. The brand launched with the 2013 Symphony Interrupted Cabernet Sauvignon which was inspired by Megadeth\u2019s groundbreaking collaboration with the San Diego Symphony.<\/p>\n
