MEGADETH To Screen ‘Megadeth: Behind The Mask’ In Theaters Ahead Of Final Album Release

Thrash metal legends Megadeth will bring their upcoming self-titled farewell album to cinemas worldwide with a one-night-only documentary event. Directed by Casey Tebo (Steven Tyler: Out On A Limb, Black Veil Brides: Alive And Burning), Megadeth: Behind The Mask serves as both a career retrospective and an immersive first-listen to the band’s final studio effort.

A press release described the project:

“In Megadeth: Behind The Mask, Dave Mustaine pulls back the curtain on 40 years of Megadeth, sharing untold stories of the band’s past and the creative fire that drives them. Interwoven throughout, audiences will get to experience the world premiere of Megadeth‘s new self-titled album in full, with Mustaine’s own track-by-track reflections.”

Mustaine added:

“This listening event is going to be amazing. I can’t wait to share it with thousands of my closest friends around the world. I have so much gratitude for everyone who helped bring this film to life, especially you, the fans! Now let’s fire this up… and pass the popcorn!”

The film will debut January 22, 2026, across over 1,000 screens, with the album arriving the following day. An exclusive listening event, dubbed Let There Be Shred, will take place January 17, 2026 in La Vergne, TN, featuring an acoustic set, Q&A, master class, and more.
