Megadeth Killing Is My Business Ugly Christmas Sweater Black Red Green Knitted Pullover With Skull Crossbones Logo Rattlehead Mascot Design Thrash Metal Holiday Jumper Unisex Gift

The Megadeth Killing Is My Business Ugly Christmas Sweater is an official thrash metal merchandise piece that celebrates the band’s groundbreaking debut album Killing Is My Business… and Business Is Good!, released June 12, 1985, through Combat Records, featuring a black, red, and green knitted pullover adorned with the iconic skull and crossbones logo alongside Vic Rattlehead, the skeletal mascot created by frontman Dave Mustaine that embodies the phrase “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” with riveted visor-covered eyes, metal-capped ears, and a clamped-shut mouth. This unisex holiday jumper commemorates the album that introduced Vic Rattlehead to the world—a character born from Mustaine’s fascination with comic book lore and his contempt for organized religion, whose name derives from “victim” and his mother’s warnings about headbanging rattling something loose—alongside the skull and crossbones design that featured crossed bones positioned like twin crucifixes to represent confused organized religion fighting against each other. The sweater’s design elements connect to the original artwork Dave Mustaine sketched before the album’s recording, which Combat Records famously lost and replaced with a photograph of a cheap Halloween decoration on chains between a knife and candle for the 1985 release, though the recovered original artwork later appeared on the album’s reissue. As Megadeth continues their legacy with the Killing Road Tour throughout 2025—launching October 1 at PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf and featuring performances across Europe including Stuttgart, Zurich, Budapest, Prague, Paris at Zenith, Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome, Brussels, Munich, Berlin, and concluding October 26 at London’s The O2 Arena—this festive sweater connects fans to the album that established Megadeth as thrash metal pioneers following Mustaine’s departure from Metallica. This holiday merchandise piece featuring Vic Rattlehead serves as both a celebration of the raw, aggressive thrash metal sound that defined Killing Is My Business, including the track “Skull Beneath the Skin” which details Vic’s mythical origin story of stumbling into a black magic ritual, and a collector’s item for fans who appreciate the album’s lasting impact on heavy metal culture and Megadeth’s evolution into one of the Big Four thrash metal bands.
