Founded in 1983, Megadeth
virtually gave birth to a genre when their debut release became recognized as
the Greatest Thrash Metal Debut Album of
All Time.
“Kuala Lumpur is somewhere I've always wanted to hit
when we've been trekking through Asia,” quoted by co-founder and front man Dave Mustaine in a recent interview..“They're
going to let us bring our brand of metal music, it's really rewarding,” he
added.
The tour is in support of their latest album Dystopia, their first album in 3 years
and their fifteenth album to date. Rock critics and fans around the world are
hailing Dystopia as a triumphant return from one of the most important bands in
the scene.
The album earned a Grammy win for Best Metal Performance of 2017. With 49,000 units sold in its first
week of release, Dystopia took the no. 3 spot on the Billboard Top 200 chart
alongside Adele and Justin Bieber. It’s the highest charting album for the band
since 1992’s Countdown to Extinction which peaked at No. 2 on the chart.
Dystopia was listed as one of the 20 Best Metal Albums of 2016 by Rolling Stone
magazine.
The current Megadeth line up comprises of Dave Mustaine on vocals and guitar, David Ellefson on bass, guitarist Kiko Loureiro and drummer Dirk Verbeuren.
