Rock Band DLC Additions for Xbox 360, PlayStation®3 system and Wii™

For close to 30 years thrash metal pioneers Megadeth have wowed listeners with their brutal yet melodic sound, recording a number of platinum records and selling out arenas worldwide. On February 21st, “Megadeth Pack 01” brings three of the band’s tracks to the Rock Band Music Store.

1992’s Countdown to Extinction was an instant hit, debuting at #2 on the Billboardcharts, thanks in part to the strong single “Symphony of Destruction,” the first track in this three pack of headbangers. The second track in the pack is “À Tout le Monde,” from Megadeth’s sixth studio album, 1994’s Youthanasia. This collection is rounded out by “Public Enemy No. 1” from the band’s latest record, 2011’s TH1RT3EN.

“This is an awesome game and fans get to play a cross-section of our best songs ever,” said Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine. “I am going to have to learn my songs all over again!”

These three tracks add to an ever-growing library of Megadeth’s music that’s playable inRock Band; their classic records Peace Sells… but Who’s Buying? and Rust in Peaceare also available for download in their entirety on the Rock Band Music Store.
