Music album covers transformed into Funko Pop! vinyl.
Megadeth is an American thrash metal band formed in Los Angeles in 1983 by vocalist/guitarist Dave Mustaine.
Known for their technically complex guitar work and musicianship, Megadeth is one of the “big four” of American thrash metal along with Metallica, Anthrax, and Slayer, responsible for the genre’s development and popularization.
In 1985, Megadeth released their debut album, Killing Is My Business… and Business Is Good!, on the independent record label Combat Records, to moderate success. It caught the attention of bigger labels, which led to Megadeth signing with Capitol Records.
Their first major-label album, Peace Sells… but Who’s Buying?, was released in 1986 and was a major hit with the underground metal scene. The band went on to release a number of platinum-selling albums, including So Far, So Good… So What! (1988), Rust in Peace (1990), and Countdown to Extinction (1992).
Megadeth has undergone multiple lineup changes throughout its 40-year career, with Dave Mustaine being the band’s sole consistent member. With more than 50 million copies of their albums sold worldwide, Megadeth is one of the few bands from the American underground metal scene of the 1980s to achieve massive commercial success.
Megadeth achieved platinum certifications in the United States for five of its sixteen studio albums and received twelve Grammy nominations. The band’s mascot, Vic Rattlehead, regularly appears on their album covers and at live shows. Vic Rattlehead is a skeletal figure who wears a suit and embodies the phrase “See no evil, hear no evil”.
Earlier this year, Funko gave the band’s mascot Vic Rattlehead a Funko Pop! makeover and released him as a Funko Pop! vinyl figure as part of the Funko Pop! Rocks series.
