Las Vegas, NV | Est. 2019

Blending the aggressive power of classic thrash-metal with refined melodic sensibilities, Madzilla LV channels the spirit of metal titans such as Megadeth, Metallica, and Iron Maiden. Since their official launch in 2019, this Las Vegas-based powerhouse has emerged as one of the most electrifying and hard-hitting live acts on the scene today.
 

Driven by a mission to unite generations of metalheads through dynamic performances and timeless songwriting, Madzilla LV has captivated audiences at more than 60 live shows across North America. Their rise was marked early on by a major milestone—supporting Soulfly on their West Coast U.S. tour in February 2020, showcasing their ability to hold their own alongside legendary names.

​

In 2021, the band reached a pivotal career highlight by performing at the Warlando Metal Fest, where they shared the stage with metal royalty including Judas Priest, Sabaton, and Soulfly, solidifying their credibility within the global metal community.


Building on this momentum, Madzilla LV took their explosive stage presence abroad in 2023, joining Saxon for the Latin American leg of the Seize the Day tour—playing to packed venues in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico.
 

The following year, 2024, brought further international expansion. The band embarked on a U.S. tour supporting Max Cavalera's Go Ahead and Die, then crossed into Central America for performances with Tarja in Costa Rica and El Salvador, before heading to Europe to join Angra on their Cycles of Pain tour.


Most recently, in May of 2025, Madzilla LV returned to Latin America for another extensive run, reuniting with Tarja on the Living the Dream Together tour. Their performances across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Costa Rica received acclaim for their intensity, professionalism, and crowd engagement.
