Megadeth returns to their legendary thrash metal roots with the 2016 release of Dystopia. Released via Tradecraft/Universal, this album marks a triumphant return to form, blending the band’s late-80s "Mustaine greatness" with a modern, heavy intensity. Critics and fans alike have hailed it as some of the band’s best work in decades, praising its sophisticated production and razor-sharp complexity.
The album introduces a powerhouse new lineup featuring Kiko Loureiro (Angra) on lead guitar and Chris Adler (Lamb of God) on drums. Their influence is immediate, bringing renewed energy, technical groove, and piercing riffs to Dave Mustaine’s dark, politicized lyrical landscapes.

- Fatal Illusion: A standout piece showcasing a standout bass solo and intricate tempo shifts.
