Capitol RecordsMegadeth frontman Dave Mustaine will reveal the inside story behind the band’s Rust in Peace album in a new memoir.
The book, titled Building the Perfect Beast, will be released September 8.
Publisher Hachette Book Group describes Building the Perfect Beast as a “story of perseverance, of scraping off the rust off that builds over time on everything: ourselves, our relationships, pop culture, art, and music.”
Released in 1990, Rust in Peace was Megadeth’s commercial breakout album, earning the thrash legends their first Grammy nomination and spawning the singles “Hangar 18” and “Holy Wars…The Punishment Due.”
Megadeth is currently on tour in Europe with Five Finger Death Punch. It’s the group’s first road trip since Mustaine revealed last summer that he’d been diagnosed with throat cancer.
