Vic Rattlehead digital collectible NFTs are available now
Legendary thrash metal band Megadeth announces the launch of their exclusive digital collectibles (NFT) collection, marking a new chapter in their storied history. This venture, introduced on December 22, 2023, signifies a revolutionary fusion of the band’s iconic musical legacy with the latest in blockchain technology, heralding a new era in fan engagement. This collection is a 5000-piece generative series featuring Vic Rattlehead, Megadeth’s mascot, masterfully reimagined by the talented artist, Haddy.
Continuing their legacy as pioneers in the music world, Megadeth’s venture into the NFT realm echoes their groundbreaking move in the 90s when they became the first band to launch a website. This new collection is a reflection of their ongoing commitment to innovation, bridging the gap between their music and fans in this digital era.
Owning a Megadeth NFT is more than a digital asset, it’s an entry into a world of unique privileges. Holders enjoy partial IP rights, giving them a stake in the collectibles’ future, exclusive access to a Holder-Only Merch Store and a Cyber Army Digital Membership. The benefits can extend into real-world experiences, including opportunities for VIP access at select concerts, dinner with the band, a custom-signed Kramer Flying V by Dave Mustaine, gift cards to House of Mustaine wine and more to come.
“This NFT collection is a natural progression for Megadeth, furthering our legacy in the digital age and bringing our music closer to the fans in ways we never imagined.” shares frontman Dave Mustaine
During the exciting launch of Megadeth’s NFT collection on December 22nd, Mustaine was joined live on Spaces on X by M. Shadows, the renowned American singer and songwriter, known for his dynamic role as the lead vocalist and a founding member of the heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold. This live session, blending two iconic figures in the heavy metal scene, drew an impressive audience, with over 6,000 people tuning in to witness this momentous occasion in the evolving landscape of music and digital collectibles.
As Megadeth continues to break new ground alongside Avenged Sevenfold’s Deathbats Club, they aim to create a community that unites their music with emerging digital technologies to create unprecedented fan experiences. Their NFT project is a significant stride in this direction, poised to transform the heavy metal scene and build stronger connections with fans.
Fresh off the heels of a wildly successful 2023 international tour across Europe, Canada and the United States, Megadeth is extending its Crush The World Tour internationally. The band will triumphantly return to Latin America for ten shows, with the first stop in Lima, Peru on Saturday, April 6th. In addition to Peru, upcoming stops include Chile, Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil and México.
