KINGS OF THRASH
“THE MEGA YEARS”
Featuring David Ellefson & Jeff Young of MEGADETH!!!

KINGS OF THRASH “The MEGA Years” featuring David Ellefson & Jeff Young are set to perform live the MEGADETH albums “Killing is my Business...and Business is Good” as well as “So Far, So Good… So What” in their entirety for their upcoming Australian shows.

KINGS OF THRASH “The MEGA Years” features GRAMMY® Award winning bassist David Ellefson, along with guitarist Jeff Young, reuniting to perform the early Thrash classics upon which the genre was built and defined in the 1980s. Showcasing the songs from both the Killing is My Business…and Business is Good & So Far, So Good…So What albums in their entirety, Ellefson & Young stay true to material which has not been performed live in several decades, along with the spirit of the era which launched one of the greatest genres of Heavy Metal music, and one of the biggest names in Metal, the mighty MEGADETH!

Says Ellefson, “I think we’ve assembled an energetic song list and group of musicians to capture the spirit of a genre we helped create & define so many years ago. Fans have been requesting these songs for a long time now and it seems like a good moment to bring them back to the stage”.

Jeff Young adds, “The mission here is to bring a connection of goodwill through the music, with a collaboration of musicians and friends in our community. Our Thrash tribe casts a wide net to give people hope in a time when they’re looking for something positive & uplifting. What better way than to do that than through the music which has become the soundtrack to our lives.”

Hardline Media could not be more thrilled to relaunch both international Metal music in Australia and Hardline Touring with Polish legends' VADER and THY DISEASE! Playing a selection of songs from throughout their massive career, VADER will hit BRISBANE, SYDNEY and MELBOURNE stages with THY DISEASE in MAY 2023. After a very quiet couple of years, this is the way to get heavy back Down Under...

Polish Death Metal legends VADER have already released their 16th studio album, 'SOLITUDE IN MADNESS', in 2020, with Covid-starved fans keen to see it in action, live. Never one to rest or relax, VADER have done it all during the course of their 37-year history. From plying super-aggressive, Thrash under the watchful eye of Communist Poland... signing a worldwide deal with popular UK indie label Earache Records... to touring the globe (after the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact in 1991, of course) and enjoying a near-maniacal fanbase, there’s no stopping the Piotr “Peter” Wiwczarek-led outfit. Proof of that lies in the exceptionally great 'Solitude in Madness', where speed and power are back as the driving factors in VADER’s fiendish yet proficient Death Metal style. Further evidence can be found in the differences that separate previous pounder 'The Empire' from 'Solitude in Madness'.

With the band dynamic stable -Marek “Spider” Pająk (guitars), Tomasz “Hal” Halicki (bass), and James Stewart (drums) whom have been in Vader for almost a decade - the songwriting sessions were similar to 'Tibi et Igni' (2014), 'The Empire' (2016), and the tour-only 'Dark Age' (2017). They were easy and smooth. Although things weren’t always like this in the VADER camp, the current lineup has afforded Wiwczarek a platform on which to focus VADER’s most important trait: the music.

THY DISEASE TO JOIN VADER DOWN UNDER!
THY DISEASE is a Polish industrial metal band from Kraków. Their lyrics generally deal with nihilism, apocalypse, and war. The band was formed in 1999, by musicians formerly active in bands like Sceptic, Anal Stench and Crionics.

Their fourth album, 'Rat Age (Sworn Kinds Final Verses)', was released in early 2006 under Empire Records. The band's label for the previous three albums was Metal Mind Productions.

The readers of Polish edition of Metal Hammer magazine voted THY DISEASE the best Polish debut act.
