The speaker in the song lives under an evil, oppressive ruler and wants to overthrow him and become king. To do this, he masters five magics but in doing so, he becomes power-hungry and evil, just like the Abyss Lord that he opposes. Furthermore, the Abyss Lord already knows the five magics so he has the advantage and wins the fight. This is the only Megadeth song that's real fantasy-adventure oriented. The song is written about the book "Goreblade : Warrior King Of The Universe".
@@Michael_Dolences. Holy Wars.. The Punishment Due Killing Is My Business and Business is Good! Both about his favorite comic book character, The Punisher.
I swear Megadeth fangirls can’t keep Metallica out of their mouths lol. You only see Metallica mentioned in Megadeth videos but not the other way around. Metallica lives rent free in Megadeth fangirls minds. You guys aren’t even in Megadeth to be talking so much shit 😂 I love both Megadeth and Metallica, good music is good music period.
OOOOOhhhhh yes, you did it! I love this song, one of my Megadeth's favorite ones. You should really listen tho ALL this album, it is without any doubt one of the best thrash metal LPs EVER!
Big call with so many to choose from, but I think it might be my favourite solo by Marty. Unbelievable structure... it's like classical music. And you're right... that riff is something else! 5/4 time signature... magic... five of them!
LBW Tommy Lad. Amma big cricket fan, but in this case it means Liked Before Watching. Lol. You couldn't pick a bad track to react to off this album, IMHO. Apart from maybe Dawn Patrol - which is 'Weird Dave' stuff!!
Good shout Jacob... one of their best. OK... gonna say it. Marty's fifth (main) solo is better than Tornado and Lucretia. Less controversially... Dave's solo is his best. And man... those riffs!
This whole album is a masterpiece of story telling and song construction.. My favourite ever album

There are few songs in Megadeth catalogue where Mustaine's nerdiness truly shines.

Holy Wars.. The Punishment Due
Killing Is My Business and Business is Good!
Both about his favorite comic book character, The Punisher.
Yes!
Great song. I'm so pleased you got the original recording too and not the remaster.
Remaster is trash. This song and Take no Prisoners especially suck.
@@giovanniayala9199 yes! Totally agree.
Love Dave but he messed em up big-time with the remasters, especially take no prisoners.
This album is a masterpiece beginning to end. So good Metallica became a rock band😉
Love this comment..and I absolutely agree
I contrast to Megadeth's Rust in Peace pure metal in your face, Metallica released The Black Album pure pop in your face
Lol Excellent comment

@esoterica412 blame Metallica fans in the 80's. Still doesn't make my comment wrong
Rust in Peace/Polaris is a all time banger!
Nice to see people still listen to megadeth
New album this year
Imo...never to be outdone..one of the finest metal LPs from track to track ever written. Any track off this album is fire
Yeeeeeeesssss 🤘😁🤘Love this song... actually, just this entire album from first to last note.
Alchemy, Wizardry, Sorcery, Thermatology and electricity. 5 magics. And then there's Dynamo!!
OOOOOhhhhh yes, you did it! I love this song, one of my Megadeth's favorite ones. You should really listen tho ALL this album, it is without any doubt one of the best thrash metal LPs EVER!
Sweet! My fav Rust In Peace track - gotta love the solo over the syncopated riff.
Big call with so many to choose from, but I think it might be my favourite solo by Marty. Unbelievable structure... it's like classical music. And you're right... that riff is something else! 5/4 time signature... magic... five of them!
Great song off a great album, from a great band.
You have to do tornado of souls or Holy Wars form the same album.
Hey Charlie! I done Holy Wars maybe a month ago. Great song!
@@ThomasJ_Music Either Poison was the cure and lucretia would be cool to
that breakdown is nasty -
Neat! Do Megadeth she wolf - live rude awakening next, you won't regret it
Did he just say there were a couple “meh” songs by Megadeth? Must’ve been off the “Risk” album. Blasphemy!! 😂

Agreed but personally I love Dawn Patrol just for that reason 🤣
@@robotversuscyborg In hindsight, Tommy would love it for the drum & bass content!! :D

React to Hangar 18 please !!!
At times it seems like they're tripping over themselves trying to squeeze all the rifs in.
🤘Megadeth over Metallica🤘
