Heavy-metal descended upon Denver on August 6, when the tenured stalwarts of Megadeth brought their Destroy All Enemies Tour to Ball Arena. Fellow scene favorites Mudvayne and All That Remains opened the night.

Megadeth recently wrapped up tours through both Europe and Latin America this year. The Destroy All Enemies Tour marks the band's return to the American music circuit, performing in more than thirty different cities.
