Alcohol, drugs, sex, money, power, property, prestige, the lies the band was told by the industry-and the lies they told each other-were just beginning, and much like rust in real life, these factors would ultimately eat away at the band’s bond until only the music survived.īuilding the Perfect Beast is a story of perseverance, of scraping off the rust off that builds over time on everything: ourselves, our relationships, pop culture, art, and music. Little did Mustaine know that the birth pangs of the record were nothing compared to the oncoming pain and torment that would surround it.
