Megadeth receive Grammy nomination

Megadeth’s album Head Crusher was nominated for a Grammy Award for the the ‘Best Metal Performance.’

They do have some stiff competition going against Hate Worldwide by Slayer; Dissident Aggressor by Judas Priest; Set To Fail by Lamb of God; and Senor Peligro by Ministry.

Grammy nominations aren’t new to the nearly 30-year-old group. However, this could be their first win.

They received their first nomination in 1990 for “Rust in Peace” for the Best Metal Performance. From there, they’ve also been nominated three times for the Best Metal Vocal Performance and three times for the Best Metal Performance.

The 52nd annual Grammy Awards return to Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, Jan. 31, and will air at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
