Megadeth is a thrash metal band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1983 by
guitarist Dave Mustaine and bassist David Ellefson, shortly after Mustaine's dismissal
from Metallica. A pioneer of the American thrash metal scene, the band is credited
as one of the genre's "big four" along with Anthrax, Metallica, and Slayer, who were
responsible for thrash metal's development and popularization. Megadeth plays in a
technical style often featuring fast rhythm sections and complex arrangements;
themes of death, war, politics, and religion are common in the group's lyrics.
