Megadeth, Slayer and Testament were touring in support of their respective albums World Painted Blood, Endgame and The Formation of Damnation, while Anthrax (who had just recently reunited with Joey Belladonna as their singer) were working on their tenth studio album Worship Music, which was released in the following year. Megadeth and Slayer played their respective albums in their entirety, Rust in Peace and Seasons in the Abyss, celebrating the 20th anniversary of both albums.
