Today's Metal Track is Peace Sells by Megadeth. This is the title track off of their 1986 album Peace Sells... but Who's Buying. The iconic bass line at the beginning of the song has been used as the theme song for MTV News' The Week in Rock segment since 1990. I'm not sure if they still run the segment or not though.
This song has been used in numerous video games throughout the years and remains a staple in their live shows. The skull that you see explode in the video is the actual skull used as the album cover on their previous album Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good! Apparently Dave had a thing for ellipses when naming his albums.
Exploring Heavy Metal and all its glory. Heavy Metal is often misunderstood and thought to be just a bunch of guys banging and screaming when in fact it can be extremely thoughtful, intelligent, and sincere. Expect some throw-down-head-banging, chill mood metal, and gloomy death metal that you're probably not going to hear on the radio. On the weekends we'll mix things up with a Weekend Wildcard and an Easy Like Sunday Morning Track to get you over your hangover!
