The year is 1990, and the 80's thrash scene will soon fade into the backdrop. There seems to be no hope for this genre beyond but a few bands, but only one of these bands was needed; Megadeth. Since the last album, Dave have ousted Chuck Behler and Jeff Young, and replaced them with Nick Menza and Guitar Giant Marty Friedman. With Political and Societal themes ready to launch, Megadeth was ready to make their fans Rust in Peace. Read more ›› |

1990 is a year to be remembered in the history of heavy metal. And it has to be said that the US Megadeth have made a lot for it with the launch of their cataclysmic opus, Rust In Peace. After three albums of good quality the four guys decided to release a (nuclear) bomb that has become a landmark in the metal world. Dave Mustaine publicly reveals his genius, accompanied by his old mate Dave Ellefson. For this album, Mustaine has hired a new guitarist, Marty Friedman, and a drummer, Nick Menza. The first impression when you hear this album, is its pure, almost uncontrolled strength, that changes every riff into an earthquake.The guitars are omnipresent, they rhythm, without any moment of weakness, the lyrics, resolutely anti military and full of nuclear apocalypse. In this point of view, the excellent ?Holy wars? is a titanic opening. This track can be considered as a symbol of all the rage and determination that the album contains, as it combines heavy repeating riffs and guitar flights. This only track can justify the purchase of this album. Because it's a boost that allows the other tracks to be linked together with a great fluidity. Read more ›› |

Exactly 30 years ago, on September 24th, Rust In Peace was unleashed upon the world and had the impact of an atomic bomb. Just before thrash metal's demise, Megadeth released a magnificent masterpiece that was at the same time so aggressive yet dexterous, so catchy yet progressive, so melodic yet gritty, that it would be considered groundbreaking even if it was released today. Alongside the two Daves, Rust in Peace was the first Megadeth album to feature lead guitarist Marty Friedman and the late Nick Menza on drums, thus undoubtedly forming the most talented line-up the band ever had. Titles like "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due", "Hangar 18", and "Tornado Of Souls" are carved with golden letters on the Book of Thrash's Legendary Tracks. To be consumed incessantly and irresponsibly until nuclear warfare wipes us off the face of this planet. nikarg's picks | More picks ›› |

No bullshit this album is fantastic. Fast, well played, awesome tracks, and awesome writing. Megadeth deserve the die hard legion of fans they have now and forever. Many of the riffs on this album just stick with me and pop up at the most random times (which tends to happen with Megadeth riffs.)  /5

Megadeth's signature masterpiece, if you don't own this album then you don't know Thrash Metal.

Written by tea[m]ster on 09.04.2011 at 18:53 I agree, I personally consider this to be one of the most overrated albums in all of metal.

Written by [user id=114505] on 06.06.2012 at 22:04 I've always liked Hetfield's vocals better than Mustaine's, but musically I'd say Megadeth is more interesting.

Dave Mustaine at a very recent interview he said that when he was playing the RIP songs live in the anniversary tour he was thinking "who was I was trying to impress back then?"... he actually said that. eeermmmm... maybe your fans Dave? who were you trying to impress when writing Super Collider then? But then, if he had that attitude (who am I trying to impress) nowadays, maybe he would release again masterpieces like this one, or close to this  Not that I complain, he released albums like Endgame and The System has Failed, but no matter how great these albums are, they do not touch RIP or Peace Sells
