Thrash metal legends Megadeth, working with Trafalgar Releasing, have unveiled the trailer for Megadeth: Behind The Mask, a cinematic legacy event set to debut on screens worldwide on Thursday, January 22nd, 2026. This one-night-only film event—which will screen in over 1,000 cinemas across more than 35 countries—arrives on the eve of the release of the band’s self-titled final studio album, which is due out the following day. Frontman Dave Mustaine pulls back the curtain on 40 years of Megadeth history, sharing untold stories and offering his own track-by-track reflections on the new LP. This immersive film will provide fans with the world premiere of the new album in its entirety, making it a powerful celebration of one of metal history’s most influential bands.
In the lead-up to the album and film’s debut, the current lineup—Mustaine, Teemu Mantysaari, James LoMenzo, and Dirk Verbeuren—have already released two tracks: “I Don’t Care” and the album’s first single, “Tipping Point.” Adding a significant full-circle moment to their final album, Megadeth also announced a special bonus track: a reimagined version of “Ride The Lightning,” which Mustaine originally co-wrote with Metallica’s James Hetfield, Cliff Burton, and Lars Ulrich back in 1984.
