LET THERE BE SHRED
Claramente más de uno va a tener que comerse sus palabras ante la última (y por lo visto literalmente) obra de los americanos Megadeth, expuestos a las críticas desde el mismo inicio de su carrera, el peso del pasado de Mustaine en Metallica y su salida de la banda es algo que le ha lastrado desde el inicio y de lo que me temo que nunca llegará a librarse a pesar de haber demostrado no solo estar al nivel de sus excompañeros durante gran parte de su carrera y la mayor parte de ese tiempo por encima diría yo, pero el choque con los grandes nombres hace que quien comete semejante pecado no sea perdonado facilmente. El caso es que este "Megadeth" de 2026 es un auténtico tiro, desatado, poderoso y seguramente auto reivindicativo, y de él dejo hoy en el blog este otro tema, "Let there be Shred" del que dejo un enlace a youtube de su clip oficial.

The stage has been lit, get up on your feet
Hearts start to pound; everyone get off your seat
My fingers spontaneously combust into flames
Destroying pretenders, only ashes remain
On the day I was born, a guitar in my hands
The earth started rumbling a thunderous command
To bash and to thrash, to bang my head
To smash my guitar and "Let There Be Shred!"
The amps start to roar, a tsunami of sound
Controlling the air, shaking the ground
Guitars are all screaming, they squeal with delight
Clawing fretboards away at the speed of light
On the day I was born, a guitar in my hands
The earth started rumbling a thunderous command
To bash and to thrash, to bang my head
To smash my guitar and "Let There Be Shred!"
At the end of it all, they are left in my wake
One-by-one they’d fall, one-by-one they’d break
Faster than lightning, a machine gun on meth
Dead on arrival, a guitar beat to death
On the day I was born, a guitar in my hands
The earth started rumbling a thunderous command
To bash and to thrash, to bang my head
To smash my guitar and "Let There Be Shred!"
