The final movement of Megadeth begins - there's no need to explain much about Megadeth now. It was in 1983 that Dave Mustaine (G, Vo) formed Megadeth after leaving Metallica. In 1985, she made her debut album with “Killing Is My Business…And Business Is Good!” This masterful mix of thrash metal and jazz/fusion continues to have a huge impact 40 years after its release. Everyone is probably well aware of their rapid progress since then. 1986's ``Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?'' (ranked 8th on Rolling Stone's ``100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time''), 1990's ``Rust In Peace'' went platinum, and 1992's ``Countdown To Extinction'' reached 2nd place on Billboard and was awarded double platinum. To date, he has sold 50 million records worldwide, won a Grammy Award (plus 12 nominations), and amassed billions of streams. With seven top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 and millions of enthusiastic fans in arenas and stadiums around the world, they are not just a band in the thrash metal world, but one that represents the heavy metal world in name and reality.

However, in August 2025, news of Megadeth's final album release and farewell tour shook the world. This was shocking news that no one expected. The title of the last album is exactly what it sounds like: ``Megadeth''. As long as you listen to the lead single, everyone will probably think, ``Maybe they can do more?'' But that's exactly what Dave Mustaine thinks. True to his words, ``There are few who can decide when it's time to quit the top,'' and Megadeth hopes to end their career with the blessings of their fans. The songs, artwork, and title are all wonderful summaries of a career spanning over 40 years. It's the best intellectual thrash metal of all time.

This is Megadeth, this is Dave Mustaine. What better way to end a band at its peak than this? All heavy metal fans, take a look at THE END, which will be etched in the history of HR/HM!

The songs on this album are perfect intellectual thrash metal created by Megadeth, and are a perfect way to sum up history.

Metallica's "Ride The Lightning" is included as a bonus track.

Dave Mustaine said, "To close the circle on a career that I've built over a lifetime and to pay homage to where my career started. This is respect." With the utmost respect and love, this track makes you feel that this album is the ``clinging off'' in the true sense of the word.
The Japan-only bonus track is an instrumental version of "The Last Note."

Clear mastering by master Ted Jensen, allowing you to appreciate the power of the last Megadeth lineup. It can be said to be a special track for Japanese fans who are particular about the details of the sound.
