Warheads on Foreheads is the new anthology album from Megadeth, spanning the thrash metal giantβs 35-year career.
Famous for being in the βBig Four of Thrashβ and considered one of the most influential bands in its genre, Megadeth collects its best songs, from Killing is My Business to the Grammy-winning Dystopia, on a boxset that spans three CDs or four LPs.
Warheads on Foreheads is like a history class on Megadeth, explained chronologically and with powerful riffs and drums. In other words, it is a 35-song retrospective representing the 35 years of Megadethβs career.
Warheads on Foreheads begins with the fast, abrasive thrash song, βRattleheadβ, and finishes with the progressive βDystopiaβ. Megadeth fans can find songs like βIn My Darkest Hourβ, βHangar 18β, βTornado of Soulsβ, βHoly Warsβ¦The Punishment Dueβ, βSymphony of Destructionβ, βSweating Bulletsβ, βA Tout Le Mondeβ, βTrustβ, βHead Crusherβ, βBlackmail the Universeβ and βTornado of Soulsβ.
Bandleader Dave Mustaine says that these songs are the most efficient weapons in Megadeth’s arsenal. βWOF (Warheads on Foreheads) is a U.S. military term for targeting efficiencyβ, Mustaine says. “It’s all about using the right tool for the job and these tracks were created for maximum destructionβ.
For Warheads on Foreheads, Megadeth handpicks its best songs for devoted followers, but it is not that different from the 2008 hits anthology, and just seems like a remastered release of those songs.
