Answer 2

G'day Lefty,

Thanks for the question.

The artist is Megadeth. It is an American speed/heavy/thrash metal band led by Dave Mustaine. The group was formed in 1983, disbanded in 2002, and reformed in 2004. Megadeth is often mentioned as one of the "big four" of thrash metal, along with Metallica, Anthrax, and Slayer.

Shortly after lead guitarist Dave Mustaine was fired from Metallica due to alcohol problems, drug abuse and personality conflicts, Mustaine, guitarist Greg Handevidt and bassist David Ellefson formed Megadeth. As Mustaine himself says, "I could only focus on one thing [after being kicked out of Metallica]: I wanted blood... theirs." After searching for a vocalist and not finding what he wanted, Mustaine became the band's singer and primary lyricist, as well as the main songwriter and rhythm guitarist. Handevidt left the band in late 1983 to form Kublai Khan. The band soon added jazz fusion drummer Gar Samuelson and guitarist Kerry King (of Slayer fame). King was only a temporary member, covering a handful of live dates while a replacement for Handevidt was sought. King was replaced later the same year by Chris Poland, a friend of Gar's.

In late 1984, they were signed to Combat Records, and in May 1985 they released their first album, entitled Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!. The band had been allotted $8,000 to record and produce the album, however, they spent half of that budget on drugs and alcohol, and the sound quality left much to be desired. The band was forced to fire their original producer and produce the album themselves. Even with its somewhat poor production, Megadeth's debut was a well-received album that blended elements of thrash, speed metal and punk rock.

The title track cited in your question is about a hitman based on the comic book character, The Punisher, who kills his employer after he is paid. This title to the song was featured in the film "Major Payne."

I have attached sources for further reference.

Keep on rocking.

Regards
