Netflix to Premiere Explosive Dave Mustaine Documentary: Fallen Angel – The Megadeth Story
Netflix is turning up the volume once again with its latest music docuseries, Fallen Angel: The Megadeth Story, a raw and revealing portrait of one of metal’s most iconic figures—Dave Mustaine.
Best known as the fiery founder and frontman of Megadeth, and once a founding member of Metallica, Mustaine’s story is one of reinvention, redemption, and relentless drive. From his tumultuous early days to his triumphant rise in the heavy metal pantheon, Fallen Angel promises to pull back the curtain on the man who helped define the sound of thrash metal.
From Exile to Empire
The documentary will chronicle Mustaine’s dramatic exit from Metallica and how it lit the fire for him to build a rival powerhouse in Megadeth. What followed was a career marked by rebellion, addiction, creativity, and resilience—culminating in 16 studio albums, a Grammy win, and a legacy that has influenced generations of musicians.
A Deep Dive into a Metal Legend
Packed with never-before-seen archival footage, personal interviews, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of Mustaine’s journey, Fallen Angel goes beyond the stage to explore his battles with substance abuse, his journey through cancer recovery, and his evolution from angry outcast to revered elder statesman of metal.
Fans will get intimate access not just to Mustaine, but to former bandmates, family, and industry insiders who witnessed his rise, fall, and rise again.
A Must-Watch for Metal Fans
Although Netflix has not yet announced an official release date, Fallen Angel is expected to premiere later this year. The announcement follows the streaming giant’s recent push into music documentaries, including the upcoming Becoming Led Zeppelin, set to release June 7.
For metal fans, rock historians, and anyone drawn to stories of grit and glory, Fallen Angel: The Megadeth Story looks to be one of the year’s most anticipated music documentaries.
Stay tuned—because when Dave Mustaine’s story hits Netflix, it won’t just be loud… it’ll be legendary.
