Evolver takes us behind the scenes to witness the making of Megadeth's 1994 album, Youthanasia. The film, while seemingly recorded using low quality home video cameras, gives us a great view of Megadeth's groundbreaking 1994 album. It also does a great job of shredding the common misconception that metal stars of the time, despite the posturing of angst-mongers like Metallica and Pantera, were also capable of being normal everyday musicians. Dave Mustaine in particular disproves the accusations of his being a "control freak" or an "egomaniac" and is in point of fact a down to earth and humorous individual. The entire band simply oozes charisma and provide quite an entertaining show. The view of the recording process also brings to light a whole new respect for the "Youthanasia" album itself, and gives much more to the viewer than the average heavy metal VHS would! You even get a few snippits of music from megadeth's 1997 follow-up album in the form of rough studio jam tracks! Evolver is a must-have for any fan of Megadeth!
