Vic Rattlehead is the mascot for the thrash metal band Megadeth. Vic Rattlehead is a fictional character in the form of a skeleton figure wearing a suit that expresses the principle of ‘See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil’. (See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil),” as well as a symbol of censorship. His eyes were covered by glued shields, his mouth was tightly shut, and his ears were covered with metal caps.

Vic Rattlehead‘s mystical creation is discussed in the song The Skull Beneath The Skin from their first album, Killing Is My Business… and Business Is Good! (1985). The mastermind behind this Megadeth mascot is Dave Mustaine himself after he sketched the original image of Vic for the cover artwork of his first album.

The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! Consolidating their return to the form that began with the album Dystopia—which became a Grammy-winning album. Musically, this album also marks Dave Mustin’s victory against throat cancer. This album also brought back a number of important names such as co-producer Chris Rakestraw who worked with Megadeth’s sonic architect, Dave Mustaine, having previously worked together on the album Dystopia.

In addition, Megadeth alumni, James LoMenzo, stated that he rejoined Megadeth and became the band’s permanent bassist. Dave Mustaine welcomed the good news, saying, “For the first time in a long time, everything we need on this record is in place. I can’t wait for the public to know this!”

The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! is so special because it features several songs written by Dave Mustaine and a combination of songwriting from Megadeth personnel. This album also brings together all the fun elements typical of Megadeth, from the rage on Night Stalkers, the lead single We’ll Be Back, to the melodic mid-tempo song Soldier On!.
