Megadeth – Warchest / 2007 Capitol / 66 Tracks / http://www.megadeth.com / http://www.capitolrecords.com / Megadeth is one of the bands that I first learned about when I got into metal.

It makes sense that Megadeth should get a box set since…
This is a 2 cd set (1 Studio/1 Live) with a 40 Song set list. This is amazing punk from the late 70s and early 80s that successfully blended real Oi!, Gothic, and Noise, to make an amazing album. This is great pissed off/piss drunk punk that you can go wild to. If more pop punk bands would take Crass’es example, then punk music wouldn’t be full of the shitheads…

This was a great find at NRM in the…
