The band was billed as Vic And The Rattleheads for this event. Two days later, June 5 Megadeth would head to Milton Keynes, England at The National Bowl to open for Metallica, with support from Diamond Head and The Almighty.
Countdown To Extinction Recording sessions began in January, 1992 at Enterprise Studios in Burbank, California. Max Norman was chosen to produce, as the band was pleased with his mixing of Rust In Peace.
Megadeth spent nearly four months in the studio with Norman, writing and recording what became the band's most commercially successful album, Countdown To Extinction. The album, whose title was suggested by drummer Nick Menza, featuring songwriting contributions from each band member.
