MEGADETH - Killing is my Business ... ... and Business is Good .

Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good! is the debut album by American thrash metal band MEGADETH. It was originally released in 1985 on Combat Records.

The album's artwork, featuring a plastic skull with tinfoil, was not intended to be the original artwork. Mustaine wanted a picture of MEGADETH mascot Vic Rattlehead on the cover, however the studio lost the artwork, so they improvised the low-budget replacement.

"Mary Jane" is not about marijuana, as is commonly thought; it is actually about a girl who takes up witchcraft, and seeks forgiveness from her father only to be buried alive as punishment.

Most of the lyrics refer to a man being haunted by the girl. Ironically, or perhaps intentionally, the song's last beat is on 4:20, a reference to marijuana.

The record, along with its predecessor Too Fast for Love, is regarded as one of the most influential of its genre. "Looks that Kill" and " Too Young to Fall in Love" became huge hits and "Shout at the Devil" became very popular as well.

Shout is a textbook example of Heavy metal as it existed in the 80s. Song topics included sex, violence, drugs, and youthful rebellion. In addition, the visual influence of the band in this era was palpable as their massive hair, makeup, and tough, violent imagery contributed greatly to the visual aspects of glam metal.
