Across their 40-year tenure as one of the world’s biggest metal bands, Megadeth have been no stranger to the iconographies of monstrous war machines roaring through a battlefield. As a huge fan of both heavy metal and tanks, I couldn’t help but pop my head into Wargaming to learn more about how this epic collaboration came about.
Wargaming is no stranger to collaborations like this. Alena Terekhova is the Publishing Director at World of Tanks Modern ArmorWe know that many teams who worked on the game were drawn to the idea to bring in a heavy metal group. Megadeth won the vote when Megadeth was asked by the game developer who they wanted to invite to their fans.
“We, like our players, are big fans of metal music,” Terekhova says. “That, and Megadeth is one of their favourite heavy metal bands, based on the number of surveys we had.”
“Summer was a perfect time for it, as this is a period of music fests and concerts in the real world,” Terekhova adds. “We thought that it would be a great concept and opportunity to have a tie-in with a metal band during this period.”
Megadeth also has a history with video games – their music has appeared in titles such as Grand Theft Auto Vice City Guitar Hero: Warriors of RockA former Megadeth roadie was cited as an inspiration for the characters in Brütal Legend. “The band has an established presence in the gaming world, but this is their biggest collaboration to date”, said Marko Valentic Global Business Development and Communications Director of the World of Warships franchise.
What will players receive when Metal Fest goes live? Wargaming was open to working with the band, and they quickly found the right balance to produce something memorable and special for their fans.
Megadeth themed tanks will be introduced at Metal Fest. World of Tanks Modern Armor The following are some examples of how to get started: World of Tanks PCAs well as Tier V Cruisers heading for World of Warships – Legends.

Perhaps most excitingly for fans, the band’s long-running mascot, Vic Rattlehead, will also appear as a commander in both World of Warships has titles for other games tooYou can also find out more about the following: World of Tanks – Modern Armor. Vic Rattlehead features on almost every Megadeth album cover to date; his angry, bony frame is a stalwart of the band’s image, and this is the first time he’s been brought to life with voice acting.
Megadeth’s sound engineer Chris Rakestraw collaborated with Dave Mustaine and founding member Dave Mustaine in order to give Vic the right voice, which made him as intimidating as his character.
