Megadeth achieved massive success with their aggressive fourth album, RUST IN PEACE, and its follow-up, 1992's COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION, combined the band's trademark thrash metal with hints of the more mainstream territory that would be further charted on the subsequent YOUTHANASIA. However, on COUNTDOWN, Megadeth never sacrifice their characteristic crunch. "Symphony of Destruction" and "Skin o' My Teeth" boast a slightly streamlined sound, but the anger, sarcasm and signature snarl of frontman Dave Mustaine remain wholly intact. By this time, many major thrash groups had started slowing things down a bit, and Megadeth showed they could be just as powerful doing midtempo rockers as they could with high-velocity barnstormers. As always, Mustaine's dark lyrics tackle a range of personal, social and political topics, the former best exemplified by the multifaceted "Sweating Bullets," which features Mustaine carrying on a dialogue with his own tortured psyche.DescriptionThis re-issue contains four previously unreleased bonus tracks "Crown of Worms," "Countdown to Extinction," "Symphony of Destruction" and "Psychotron."Tracks1 Skin O' My Teeth2 Symphony of Destruction3 Architecture of Aggression4 Foreclosure of a Dream5 Sweating Bullets6 This Was My Life7 Countdown to Extinction8 High Speed Dirt9 Psychotron10 Captive Honour11 Ashes in Your Mouth12 Crown of Worms - Previously Unreleased in the U.S13 Countdown to Extinction (Demo) - Previously Unreleased14 Symphony of Destruction (Demo) - Previously Unreleased15 Psychotron (Demo) - Previously Unreleased
