The
world of music owes a debt of gratitude to Marsha Zazula, who along

significant artists. Marsha was one of a kind and taught the world to
be fiercely independent. Megaforce and our artists will never forget
her. In our hearts she will always be a guiding force. R.I.P.

RIP Marsha Zazula. Thank you for all you have done for the world of heavy metal \m/
FROM IAN CHRISTIE (WRITER/AUTHOR):
I'm stunned and saddened to hear of the passing of Marsha Zazula, cofounder of Megaforce Records with her husband
Jon Zazula
. Without her, it's unlikely you would know the names Metallica, Anthrax, Overkill, Testament, Mercyful Fate, or S.O.D. Megaforce had guts, ambition, style, taste, and strength, and saying that about a family business is saying that about Marsha. I'm grateful she and Jonny came on my Sirius show in the early 2000s, I was starstruck, it was such a pleasure.
"Beyond the realms of mortal men..."
R.I.P. Marsha Zazula
FROM METALLICA:
Rest In Peace, Marsha. Thank you for everything.
Much love to Jonny Z & the Zazula family.
FROM ANTHRAX:
It’s with much sadness that we hear of the passing of Marsha Zazula. A true pioneer along with Johnny Z. Those two were responsible for changing all our lives.
Hard to put into words what a world this might be without their belief and dedication to metal and all of us. Our love to her family
- Anthrax
FROM JASON BITTNER (OVERKILL):
RIP Marsha.....
FROM JAMES HETFIELD (METALLICA):
"Marsha
Z is the Metal Matriarch of the East Coast. She was our mother when I
had none. She made great sacrifices for Metallica to grow. Thank you
Marsha. Love and positive energy to the Zazula family.” — James Hetfield
