Megadeth Announce Killing Is My Business… Deluxe Reissue

Megadeth have announced the details of their new Killing Is My Business… And Business Is Good: The Final Kill deluxe reissue.

Celebrating its 35th anniversary, the band's legendary debut will be rereleased on June 8 (via Century Media and Legacy Recordings), having been remixed by Mark Lewis (Trivium, Death Angel, DevilDriver, Whitechapel) and re-mastered by Ted Jensen. 

This new Killing Is My Business… version features previously unheard parts throughout the record, including a missing drum performance found during the mixing sessions. As well as the full album itself, it also contains seven live audio tracks from VHS tapes found in Dave Mustaine's attic, as well as a 1984 three-track demo and Megadeth's previously removed cover of These Boots. Phew.

 "I am just as much amazed at the music we made as I am at the pure fact that we survived it all!" says Dave.
