Capitol Records, founded in 1942 as Liberty Records, is a renowned music label based in Hollywood, California. With a rich history and impressive sales of 42 million records by 1946, Capitol quickly became one of the Big Six studios. In 1955, it was acquired by British company EMI for $8.5 million and later became part of the Universal Music Group's Worldwide division in 1979. The merger with Priority Records in 2001 further solidified Capitol's position in the industry.

EMI began releasing Capitol products in the UK, Europe, and Australasia from January 1956 onwards after licenses with other record companies expired. Over the years, Capitol has seen various changes in ownership and management. In September 2012, it was purchased by Vivendi S.A., owner of Universal Music Group.

Capitol Records is known for its distinctive album prefix codes that provide valuable information about each release. These codes include letters indicating stereo or mono recordings, price codes denoting different list prices, indicators for multiple discs or special packaging.

Megadeth is a thrash metal band from Los Angeles, California, USA. Formed in 1983 by guitarist/vocalist Dave Mustaine and bass guitarist David Ellefson, the band played a significant role in popularizing thrash metal in the late 1980s. Despite facing numerous line-up changes and struggles with substance abuse, Megadeth achieved stability and success with their 1990 release "Rust in Peace," which remains their most commercially successful album. After disbanding in 2002 due to an injury, Mustaine reformed the band in 2004 and has since released five studio albums.

The current line-up of Megadeth includes Dave Mustaine on guitars and vocals (since 1983), Kiko Loureiro on guitars (since 2015), Dirk Verbeuren on drums (since 2016), and James LoMenzo on bass (touring member since 2021; official member since 2022). Throughout their career, Megadeth has maintained an influential presence in the thrash metal genre, showcasing their unique sound and musical prowess.
