The album is every bit as impressive as Cauterize, proving that Dust is not just a collection of B-sides, but a fantastic Tremonti album to sit proudly alongside its predecessor, ushering in a new chapter of Tremonti.
The track oozes hard rock all over the place, from start to finish; featuring weighty riffs, powerful soaring vocals, and colossal choruses; it's an undoubtedly great sign of things to come.
Night & Day Cafe were playing perfect hosts to kick off This Feeling's Big In 2016 UK tour; billed as the UK's most rock'n'roll night out, and the best place to see the next big things in advance.
The songs very well constructed, with excellent concepts, delivered through Mustaine's excellent vocal performance and lyrics, that match the music. Megadeth back to their best!
What is there to say about this song! It really grabs you right from the start with an impressive a cappella intro provide a great insight into Henderson‘s incredible musical talent. This then builds into the verse without losing the a cappella parts; a challenging feat that is pulled off fantastically, giving really great harmonic depth the track. As it’s built around a variety of voices, each with their own line, they interact interacting in perfect polyphony, so the result in a lot of different melodies going in different directions, like in classical music, so there’s a lot more happening musically compare to in a guitar based backing when at most it can maybe play two lines through use of chords. When Finn‘s lead vocal enters you’re hit by a distinctive and outstanding voice; it provides a memorable lead melody, along with insightful and meaningful lyrics. I really love how intricate the backing vocals in the chorus are as well; it’s just an all round great track!

Overall the album promises to be a good one; full of high energy, fast paced riffs, with some melodic content, especially in the solos. Where the album will rank on a list of Megadeth's greatest is still unknown
Being situated between Peace Sells, and Rust In Peace is like sitting at the bottom of a vast chasm surrounded by two behemoth mountains, and it is easy to get overlooked.
To celebrate the launch of Megadeth‘s new album, Dystopia, on Friday. I’ll be doing a series of posts about the behemoth thrash metal kings. There seemed only one sensible place to start, and that’s with a rundown of my Top 10 Megadeth Songs! I’m going to preface this list by saying how difficult it was to choose just 10, and then try to rank them! I considered doing 20, but it seemed far too much.
To kick us off, is a song from an album I’m not the biggest fan of: The World Needs a Hero, not sure why, just never connected with it. This song still took a few goes to really enjoy, but it’s so much fun to play on guitar! I love the verse riff, it contains so much space which Mustaine‘s gnarly vocals happily fill with short snappy lines. The change of texture for the pre-chorus/ chorus is really great as well: The vocals becoming more continuous, and the contrast between this and the staggered section before is great. Then I love how it seamlessly moves back into that aggressive verse again. The middle section begins by sounding slightly like Metallica‘s One, but then starts to make use of the chorus material, with the guitar solo just fighting its way to the surface, before erupting into that fantastic melodic solo. The song rounds off perfectly, varying the verse riff material to bookend the track.
