Once fans have assembled the viewer, they can use
Next Galaxy’s CEEK app and a code provided in the packaging to unlock a VR video of the band performing five songs. The Megadeth limited-edition VR package is priced between $15 and $25.
You might not expect Megadeth, a thrash band that’s been recording for three decades, to be at the forefront of technology, but you’d be wrong. Mustaine happily points out that Megadeth launched the first-ever band website ever back in 1994. “There wasn’t any band site prior to that,” he enthuses.
Then, in 2014, he was treated to a demo of an Oculus Rift VR headset. There were discussions at the time about filming his collaborative concert with the San Diego Symphony, but that never came to fruition. “Now that we got this opportunity to do it, it’s a dream realized,” Mustaine says.
