Megadeth will perform its 1992 album, Countdown To Extinction, in its entirety on September 7 at Teatro Caupolican in Santiago, Chile.

Speaking to the Artisan News, Ellefson stated about the LP, “‘Countdown’ was really one of my favorite records of the whole Megadeth catalog… for a number of reasons.

But more importantly, I think, than all of that, is it was a really cool time when the four of us were really, probably, our most connected together as a band.” Continue reading »
