We close out our Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good! season, with Mechanix, the most infamous song on Megadeth's debut album.  

We dive deep into the history of the song, going back to Dave Mustaine's time in Metallica, as well as Metallica's own version of the song; The Four Horsemen.

In this episode, Peter Hallay and Paul Dayco delve into the origin of Megadeth's mascot Vic Rattlehead in the song The Skull Beneath The Skin.
