"Symphony of Destruction" is a song past American heavy metal band Megadeth, released as a single from the band's fifth studio anthology, Countdown to Extinction (1992). The lyrics explore the hypothetical state of affairs where an average citizen is placed in a position where he runs the country while the public is led by a phantom government.[one] Penned past vocalist and frontman Dave Mustaine, the song received significant radio play and charted in various territories, making it one of Megadeth's best known songs.[2] [3] [four]

The vocal was generally well received past critics,[ citation needed ] and its accompanying music video by Wayne Isham initially received heavy rotation on MTV, only eventually became controversial and was edited because of an assassination scene that MTV felt was "too harsh".[5] The video features each ring member individually playing, with a mostly black-and-white nonlinear narrative revolving around a political candidate who is assassinated, and the massive amount of chaos and riots acquired by the event.[5] [6] The song has been featured in several sources of media, and has been covered by several bands.

Origins [edit]

Vocalist Dave Mustaine described, in Guitar Eye Sessions, the development of "Symphony of Devastation" as stroke of luck. 1 twenty-four hours while driving downwards Riverside Drive in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles to his home, he was stricken by a headache. Inspired, he began writing lyrics on the back of a sushi receipt, " My metal brains corroding, my head is going to explode".[one] In 1992 Megadeth recorded the demo for what would become "Symphony of Destruction" and after some tweaking, the song was finished and recorded for inclusion on their fifth studio album, Countdown to Extinction.[7] Originally, the offset version of the song was much longer but was edited a lot during its pre-production for Inaugural.[ane]

Mustaine wrote the lyrics to the song, which were written nearly what he perceived to be how the masses were being led to their own destruction by political leaders, which is where the title is derived, Symphony of Destruction.[1] The famous legend Pied Piper of Hamelin, is mentioned in the song and contains direct correlations to the lyrical meaning of the song.[8] In the legend, the Pied Piper had the ability to force children and rats to follow his demands mindlessly, like the political leaders do to the public.[nine] [10]

Structure [edit]

"Symphony of Destruction" is four minutes, vii seconds long.[11] In the first v seconds of the vocal, the sound of an orchestra tuning is heard,[12] followed by a curt segment of vocals from the Offertorium, Domine Jesu Christe from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart'southward Requiem[ commendation needed ]. The song so immediately shifts into a heavy guitar riff, which plays continuously throughout the duration of the song. The song contains what has been described as catchy, with a more commercially mainstream, standard vocal structure,[13] every bit opposed to some of Megadeth's more than aggressive and structurally intense songs, such every bit "Hangar eighteen" or "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due".[14] [15]

By 1992, Mustaine'southward song performance and manner, forth with Megadeth'due south bombastic aesthetic, were considered jarring by some music listeners, meaning they had not even so been exposed to more than mainstream audiences. Partially due to the success and radio friendliness of this song and Countdown to Extinction, Megadeth was capable of reaching a college level of public awareness and cultural relevance.[sixteen]

Music video [edit]

To promote the commercial success of the vocal as a single, Capitol Records produced a music video in 1992. Directed by Wayne Isham,[17] who as well directed the videos for "Train of Consequences" and "99 Ways to Die", the video begins with shots of a burning American flag with the motto For the People imprinted on information technology, followed by a gun trigger being pulled, and then a man'due south unblinking centre, foreshadowing the bump-off that occurs later in the video. Each member of Megadeth separately appear playing instruments during the video, although none of them are actually seen playing together. Rioting crowds and anarchy are shown in contrast of political figures laughing, which leads to the President and First Lady exiting a limousine to a cheering crowd, where a human being with a pistol appears and shoots the president. The residual of the video consists of nonlinear footage of the band performing and miscellaneous destruction caused past the anarchy inflicted by citizens and meaning collateral impairment.[5] [18]

At start, the vocal was shown considerably on MTV without any concern, but subsequently the scene where the politician finally gets assassinated was edited out because the assassination scene was accounted "as well harsh".[v] The edited version continued to exist played on MTV, though to a smaller degree. The controversy was defended by Dave Mustaine, where he stated "I think information technology's more important that our point got across than the fact of whether or non we had to soften upwardly a certain scene or lose it altogether."[5]

Covers and remixes [edit]

The song has been covered and remixed past numerous bands. Covers include Afar Sun,[19] Alghazanth,[xx] Black Warrant, on his Electric album;[21] Fury, for the album Megaded - A Tribute To Megadeth;[22] Hellsongs, for the album Hymns in the Key of 666;[23] Paul Di'Anno for his compilation album The Living Dead;[24] Emil Bulls, on a alive version on the tour edition of their album The Blackness Path;[25] Seeds of Sorrow;[26] Shelby Cinca at the Milky way Hut in Arlington Virginia,[8] and it was also parodied past JBO as "Symphonie der Verstopfung" (Symphony of Constipation).[27] Russian slam death metal ring Katalepsy covered the song, which appears every bit track seven on their album Musick Brings Injuries but is titled "South.O.D.".[28]

More notable covers include Arch Enemy's version, for a Kerrang! CD entitled High Voltage!: A Brief History of Rock, which featured modern bands gear up to define rock music for the next 25 years playing covers of bands that influenced them. The song is also on their Dead Eyes See No Future EP.[29] Nightwish likewise released a encompass version, a alive operation of the song is included in "The Siren" single and in the "Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan" single. Nightwish has continued to perform the song alive, merely these versions are not bachelor on official releases.[30] [31] Also, by Tarja Turunen, although this has not appeared on any studio albums, Turunen has covered the song live, often transitioning to it from a encompass of "Expressionless Gardens" by Nightwish.[32] The original Megadeth version was remixed by Nine Inch Nails and Trent Reznor as "The Gristle Mix".[33] [34]

Solo player Michael Angelo Batio released a encompass of this song on the 2009 anthology Hands Without Shadows Pt.two: Voices, which featured Vinnie Moore and George Ballas.[35]

The song has even been covered past not-metal bands besides. For example, 3 Doors Downward, an alternative rock act, played the vocal live nearly 70 times, which makes them 1 of its nigh devoted cover performers.[36] [37]

In pop culture [edit]

The vocal has been featured in numerous video games, including a embrace version of the song that featured in the PlayStation 2 video game Guitar Hero, with the Primary Version of this vocal released equally Downloadable Content for both Guitar Hero 5 and Rock Band iii (along with a Pro Guitar/Bass upgrade bachelor). A primary track is also available as DLC in Rocksmith, along with and Hangar xviii and Public Enemy No. 1.[38] A remix was used in the video game WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2006 [39] and Full Auto 2: Battlelines.[40] Furthermore, song is featured in the video games True Offense: Streets of L.A.,[41] "NFL Street 3"[42] and FlatOut ii.[43] In the MOBA game League of Legends, a champion known as Mordekaiser used to have the ability Siphon of Destruction, a reference to the song.

The vocal'southward name is the footing for the championship of Dave Mustaine's instructional column in Guitar World magazine, "Symphony of Instruction".[44] Lastly, the music video for the vocal is featured in the Beavis and Butt-head episode, Blood Drive. The duo are comically amused by the video, giggling through a majority of it, and responding positively to the catchy master riff and the quick editing and explosions featured in the video, even headbanging to it. Beavis praises the video, stating that he believes that "Dave Mustaine rules, heheh" and that "these guys are cool".[45]

The vocal was used in a Ronnie Mac YouTube video entitled "Mac to the Past 69" during a scene in the "past" with Jeremy McGrath riding around the Honda Test Rails on a 1998 Honda CR250 (A.K.A. The Screaming Eagle).

Live performances [edit]

Megadeth playing Symphony of Devastation live in Haapsalu, Estonia in 2010.

When the song is performed live, the crowd will usually shout 'Megadeth, Megadeth, aguante Megadeth!' in between each of the opening riffs. This chorus began in Argentina in 1994 and quickly spread worldwide.[46] Information technology can be loosely translated as 'Megadeth, Megadeth, go Megadeth'. 'Aguante' is an Argentinian slang term that means to "concur on tight", which represents to stick strongly to something, it's normally used in sports events to give support to the team players. It is also practical to something that "rules" or "rocks". The commencement time the Argentine crowd chanted this out, heavily influenced past its football song singing culture in stadiums, Dave Mustaine was diddled out of his mind. This is a major reason that Argentine republic became 1 of his favorite countries to play in, as he states in the That One Night: Live in Buenos Aires DVD filmed in Argentina. Another is that "it'due south the but public that will sing out the guitar parts".

The vocal remains Megadeth's most widely known song, and a live staple that has been performed in almost all Megadeth concerts since its composition. Because of this, it has been featured in the following:
