Thrash Metal
'The Craving' is the only album by MD.45. The band was formed as a side project by Megadeth guitarist/vocalist Dave Mustaine and Fear vocalist Lee Ving. Bassist Kelly LeMieux (of Fear) and drummer Jimmy DeGrasso (of Y&T and on a break from Alice Cooper, who later joined Megadeth) rounded out the band's lineup. Many of the songs from the album were originally written for Megadeth, but due to the band being on hiatus, Mustaine decided to start a side project instead.
Megadeth is an American thrash metal band formed in Los Angeles in 1983 by vocalist/guitarist Dave Mustaine. Known for their technically complex guitar work and musicianship, Megadeth is one of the "big four" of American thrash metal along with Metallica, Anthrax, and Slayer, responsible for the genre's development and popularization. Their music features complex arrangements and fast rhythm sections, dual lead guitars, and lyrical themes of war, politics, religion, death, and personal relationships. In 1985, Megadeth released their debut album, 'Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!', on the independent record label Combat Records, to moderate success. It caught the attention of bigger labels, which led to Megadeth signing with Capitol Records. Their first major-label album, 'Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?', was released in 1986 and was a major hit with the underground metal scene. Band members' substance abuse issues and personal disputes had brought Megadeth negative publicity during the late 1980s. Nonetheless, the band went on to release a number of platinum-selling albums, including 'So Far, So Good... So What!' (1988), 'Rust In Peace' (1990), and 'Countdown To Extinction' (1992). Megadeth has undergone multiple lineup changes throughout its 41-year career, with Mustaine being the sole consistent member of the band. The band temporarily disbanded in 2002 when he suffered an arm injury and re-established in 2004 without longtime bassist David Ellefson, who had taken legal action against Mustaine. Ellefson settled out of court and rejoined the band in 2010, but was fired in 2021 amid allegations of sexual misconduct.

Gothic Metal
Type O Negative was an American gothic metal/doom metal band formed in Brooklyn, New York City, U.S.A. in 1989. Their lyrical emphasis on themes of romance, depression, and death resulted in the nickname 'The Drab Four' (in homage to The Beatles' 'Fab Four' moniker). The band went platinum with 1993's Bloody Kisses, and gold with 1996's October Rust. Vocalist and bassist Pete Steele died on April 14, 2010, at the age of 48; some sources report the cause of death as heart failure brought on by an aortic aneurysm, while others list sepsis caused by diverticulitis. Seven months after Steele's death, the surviving members of Type O Negative announced that they would not continue as a band.

'El Mocambo 1977' is a live album by The Rolling Stones. It was recorded on 4 and 5 March 1977 at the El Mocambo club in Toronto, Canada. The club had a capacity of 300, and the gigs were secret, with winners of a contest invited to see Canadian rock band April Wine with support from a group called The Cockroaches, who were actually The Stones accompanied by keyboardist Billy Preston and percussionist Ollie Brown. The set promoted the band's then-most recent studio album Black And Blue (1976). Four songs recorded at the El Mocambo had been released in 1977 on the live compilation album Love You Live. It was the first release from The Rolling Stones since the August 2021 death of drummer Charlie Watts.
