The legendary Thrash Metal band Megadeth launches its own cryptocurrency, the “$MEGA”, becoming probably the first famous band to do something like that.

Megadeth talked about the coin in an official statement:

“$MEGA is the official cryptocurrency of Megadeth and our community. By buying, holding, and transacting with $MEGA, fans will gain access to exclusives and premium benefits.”

“Cyber Army members that also hold $MEGA will unlock additional exclusives, access, and offers. Premium and Digital CYBER ARMY members automatically get some free $MEGA. If you’re a Premium or Digital member, click the buttons below for details on how to get your free $MEGA.”

“It’s recommended you hold at least 10 $MEGA to get access to exclusive content, special tour access, Q+A’s, hangouts with the band, and special items. We have some special things coming up soon for $MEGA holders.”

New album

The band leader, guitarist and singer Dave Mustaine recently revealed that Megadeth’s new album “The Sick, The Dying And the Dead” is tentatively set to be released in the spring of 2022.

Rafael Polcaro: I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
