167: MEGADETH: THE SICK, THE DYING…AND THE DEAD! - Album Dive

“Step inside, walk this way…”

The world just wouldn’t be the same without Dave Mustaine and MEGADETH. No one else in metal embodies the same snarling, vengeful angst against the psychopathic “powers that be” as Mega Dave, and the band’s 16^th studio offering, “THE SICK, THE DYING…AND THE DEAD!” once again proves it. With topics running the gamut from space travel, war, and (actual) plague to nuclear disaster and shameless celebrity selfie queens, Dave has once again masterfully unleashed his passionate disgust and contempt for everything that has negatively tainted our world with furious thrash-tactical precision that is intricately woven together with thin threads of progressive metal grandeur. 

Go ahead and get your “cortisone shart” out of the way before you slip into your “finger pants” and “request a to-go box” while preparing for the imminent “air horn frenzy” that awaits as you indulge in “a handful and a mouthful” and JOIN US for a dive into MEGADETH: THE SICK, THE DYING…AND THE DEAD!
