Megadeth — Resurrection Fest, Viveiro, 2024

Why this recording

Resurrection Fest posts this set on its own channel, shot in 4K at 50 frames per second by the Veinticinco Producciones team. Fourteen timestamped songs cover the hour and a quarter, from the opening title track to "Holy Wars", starting at 1:04:19. Mid-set, "Kick the Chair", "Skin o' My Teeth" and "Tornado of Souls" (38:10) lead into the home stretch of "Symphony of Destruction", "Peace Sells" and "Holy Wars". The video went online almost a year after the show.

Pro-shot full set of Megadeth headlining Resurrection Fest EG in Viveiro (Galicia, Spain) on 29 June 2024. The thrash-metal founders led by Dave Mustaine were touring behind the album The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead! (2022) and deliver a live concert drawing heavily on their 1980s-90s catalogue: « Hangar 18 », « Symphony of Destruction », « Peace Sells », « Tornado of Souls » and the closing « Holy Wars… The Punishment Due ». This festival performance marks the arrival of Finnish guitarist Teemu Mäntysaari, who replaced Kiko Loureiro in late 2023, alongside James LoMenzo on bass and Dirk Verbeuren on drums. Filmed with multiple cameras before a packed crowd, this full show captures the rhythmic precision and melodic aggression that define Megadeth’s metal on stage. Recorded at one of Europe’s biggest metal festivals, the set balances new material with the classics that made the band a genre cornerstone. A solid document for following the band in its current line-up and a strong entry point into modern thrash.
