Context: United Abominations is the eleventh studio album by American thrash metal band Megadeth.

While touring to promote the album, guitarist Glen Drover left the band for personal reasons and was replaced by Chris Broderick, leaving this as the only Megadeth studio album to which he contributed. Megadeth is an American thrash metal band formed by guitarist/vocalist Dave Mustaine—after he departed from Metallica—along with bassist David Ellefson, guitarist Greg Handevidt, and drummer Dijon Carruthers, in 1983.  Early in 1984, Megadeth recorded a demo that featured new drummer Lee Rausch, who replaced Carruthers.  Slayer guitarist Kerry King covered live dates while a permanent replacement was sought.  This lineup was short-lived and after a few shows in 1984, Lee Rausch was replaced by jazz fusion drummer Gar Samuelson, in addition to the second guitarist Chris Poland.  During the Megadeth's 1985 tour promoting their debut, "Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good! ", Poland left the band and was temporarily replaced by Mike Albert.  Poland then rejoined Megadeth in October of the same year, shortly before they began work on "Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? ".  After years of problems stemming from substance abuse, Mustaine fired both Poland and Samuelson before recording the third album "So Far, So Good... So What! "; being replaced by Jeff Young and Chuck Behler, respectively. "Peace Sells" is a song by the American thrash metal band Megadeth from the 1986 album "Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?

In 2006, VH1 ranked "Peace Sells" at number 11 on their list of the "40 Greatest Metal Songs" of all time.  The song is also known for the distinctive bass intro played by Ellefson.

The band toured and gained a following, signing with the independent label Combat Records in late 1984.  Megadeth's debut album "Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good! " (1985), sold very well for an independent release, and the group attracted the attention of major record labels.  By the end of the year, the group signed with Capitol Records.  Megadeth's first major-label album, "Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? ", was released in 1986.
