MEGADETH will head out on tour later this year with Meshuggah and TesseracT, according to “credible rumors” heard by ThePRP. Details for the trek have yet to surface, however, it should be noted that all three bands are on the roster for Montebello Rockfest 2017, which is scheduled to take place in late June in Quebec.
Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine recently alluded to a forthcoming North American tour, stating, “We’ve got some cool things going on for the States… we’ll be heading out some part of the spring or summer.”
Megadeth is an American heavy metal band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1983 with its roots in thrash metal, a genre that its founder, singer/songwriter and guitarist Dave Mustaine helped pioneer. The band has since released 14 studio albums.
Mustaine’s musical roots began early on listening to AC/DC and Led Zeppelin, and took form in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal when he co-founded Metallica. Megadeth emerged in 1985 at the forefront of the thrash/speed metal scene with their seminal debut “Killing Is My Business… And Business Is Good”, and continued on a blistering path of albums and tours throughout the decade. The nickname “world’s state-of-the-art speed metal band” and the critic-coined “intellectual thrash metal” were often used to describe Megadeth’s sound, referring to Mustaine’s niche for angry, witty, intelligent lyrics about topics like politics, drugs and war, fused with aggressive, intricate guitar structures and a jazz-influenced rhythm section.
