Dave Mustaine, who broke down so candidly in Metallica's SOME KIND OF MONSTER documentary, has nothing to be ashamed of. Since his unceremonious boot from Metallica, he's been responsible for some of the most thrilling, adventurous metal in existence with his project Megadeth. With their first release, 1985's KILLING IS MY BUSINESS AND BUSINESS IS GOOD, Megadeth combined thrash metal heaviness with jazz-inspired improvisation to express Mustaine's singular take on heavy music, and they never looked back. WARCHEST isn't just the most comprehensive one-stop Megadeth collection; it also debuts a whopping 33 unreleased tracks, including an entire show from the band's 1990 peak.
The first three discs feature scattered, thrilling tracks from Megadeth's studio albums interspersed with demos, live songs, and outtakes, including Megadeth standards like "The Skull Beneath the Skin" (from their debut), and "Symphony Of Destruction" (from their crossover smash COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION). It's a comprehensive overview of their remarkably consistent output and cynical anti-war political views, not to mention a clinic in colorful, imaginative metal. Disc four, however, is the real treat, presenting an entire 1990 show from England's Wembley Stadium featuring the band fresh off their creative apex, RUST IN PEACE. Altogether, it's over six hours of an exciting, intelligent band that has unfairly stood in the shadow of their leader's former group. With WARCHEST, Megadeth gets an overdue walk in the sun.
Editorial Reviews
WARCHEST is one of those treat you'll end up listening to for hours....[A] metallic institution.
Kerrang
3.5 stars out of 5 -- At their peak, on 1990's thrash tutorial RUST IN PEACE, Mustaine and Marty Friedman formed one of the genre's definitive guitar tandems with wrist-spraining feats of metal soloing.
Blender
4 stars out of 5 -- [P]erhaps WARCHEST's greatest achievement is the accurate picture it draws of a band emerging from the underground with youthful venom....It's quite a ride, and WARCHEST draws a fitting line under it all.
