REVIEW: Megadeth - Killing is my business... Combat Records, 1985
9.5/10
Megadeth - Killing is my business... - cover art The debut album from Megadeth is a very good one. Megadeth was formed by Dave Mustaine who earlier had been part of Metallica and helped them writing the songs for their first album. One or two of these songs also appear on this debut album of Megadeth but with different lyrics - Mechanix is the same as The four horsemen on Metallica's debut album Kill 'em all. This album is very fast and melodic and the vocals are very nicely done by Dave Mustaine who has a great voice. What brings the grade down is that it's extremely short - only 27 ½ minute long. You can notice the difference when it comes to musical quality if you compare the debut albums from Metallica and Megadeth but Megadeth is still a very good band and deserves almost the same success as Metallica. If someone has the lyrics for this album I would very much like to have them! The vocals are of course not as aggressive as Metallica's but they are filled with energy. If you like speed metal this is an album to buy.
