Megadeth Fans Will Get to Go “Behind The Mask” When a Career-Retrospective Documentary Hits Theaters Next Month

With the end of their career in sight, Megadeth is seemingly making sure everyone on the planet knows they’re coming to an end. They’re releasing a new album to put a button on their musical output, they’ve got a farewell tour that could span roughly five years, and earlier today, the band announced that a special career-retrospective documentary and album listening party will be taking place at more than a thousand movie theaters.

Titled Megadeth: Behind The Mask, the documentary will be released to movie theater screens worldwide on January 22 — just one day before the release of Megadeth’s final album — via Trafalgar Releasing. Taking place at only a select number of theaters, the film’s synopsis is as follows:

“MEGADETH: BEHIND THE MASK is a cinematic legacy event in which Dave Mustaine pulls back the curtain on 40 years of MEGADETH, sharing untold stories of the band’s incredible past, and the creative fire that drives the band.

“Interwoven throughout, audiences will get to experience the world premiere of MEGADETH’S new self-titled album in full, brought to life with a 40-year retrospective career-spanning interview and Mustaine’s own track-by-track reflections about the band’s final studio album. This one night only listening event will provide a first-listen to this landmark project. MEGADETH: BEHIND THE MASK is an immersive celebration of one of the most influential bands in metal history, capturing their legacy while heralding a powerful new chapter!”

With her eyes set on the film’s release, Kymberli Frueh, EVP Programming and Content Acquisitions at Trafalgar said fans are going to enjoy what’s in store.

“We’re thrilled to bring fans together for an exclusive first listen to Megadeth’s final studio album – that brings their career full circle.

“This isn’t just another Megadeth album: it features a bold reimagining. This cinema event is a celebration of the riffs, the intensity and the uncompromising spirit that have defined Megadeth’s legacy. We can’t wait to share this moment with the fans who’ve been with them every step of the way.”

Tickets for the theater event will go on sale next Thursday, December 11.
