My favourite Testament track is Alone In The Dark followed closely by a host of others including Disciples Of The Watch and Burnt Offering...
So, what does everyone else think of this band?

The The New Order, even though it is a mixed bag, but still superior to anything they released after that one. Actually only The Legacy and The New Order are Testament albums one needs to hear.

23.02.2015 - 11:34 Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 23.02.2015 at 02:49 This pretty much sums it up, though I wouldnt competely agree with the last sentence. If one is into what Metallica and Megadeth were doing in the 90's, Practice is easily an album to hear. Regardless, I'd say The Gathering is a good comeback and the best one of the later years of Testament, It's still worth checking out just for the level of musicianship present here.

Excellent thrashers! been following them since The Legacy. I guess it's like any artist of any genre: they have their good and not so good albums, but as a whole their a pretty good thrash outfit. If there were a big five, they would deserve to be the fifth.

I think a good title for their next album would be "The Apocalypse", having a picture of a mushroom cloud.

09.07.2015 - 05:31 Written by deadone on 09.07.2015 at 02:55 Yes, you can't pin point cons about how Testament was developed. The thing with Testament is that they have brought lot of variation in music from 80's and in variation I mean LAYERS of music, not the STYLE of thrash music. Eg Dark Roots of Earth was dropped from nowhere and it comes out to be one of the splendid record ever of modern thrash era whereas, "Souls Of Black" was a slice off 80's thrash music delve with modern production which had hit/miss relationship with fans. I'd say both the records are fine but produced in different spectrum. Although, they're sitting on same bench but Testament's class was really shown in Darks Roots record. So, it's tough to point of weaker areas of Testament.

09.07.2015 - 06:13 Written by deadone on 09.07.2015 at 05:53 Absolutely right. You can't expect how next Testament album gonna be. Either it'll be drop on magnifience or just a fall out flat. It's like a variation between standing on top of Burj Khalifa and within seconds, you on bottom. Very unpredictable band rooted in a predictable style.

TESTAMENT singer Chuck Billy has tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. From FB **COVID-19 OFFICIAL STATEMENT** As many of you already know, after returning from the BAY STRIKES BACK over Europe Tour last week, some of us in TESTAMENT have been feeling unwell and have made the decision along with our Doctors to be tested for the COVID-19 novel coronavirus. As of yesterday morning, Chuck and Tiffany Billy's tests have come back positive as well as some crew members. We wanted to reach out to everyone who has been supporting us and expressing concern to inform you that we are doing what's right, and what's safe, and have all been quarantining ourselves since our return home; since before we were even tested. We are of course concerned for our families, our friends, our crew, our fellow musicians, and our fans. We've reached out to support our fellow Bay Area Bands who are also being proactive in their own camps, staying quarantined and safe, and will speak on their individual situations if and when they are ready to. At this moment we are currently focused on staying safe and quarantined, resting, getting ourselves back to health, and of course, sending well wishes, prayers, and positive energy towards our friends who are also sick. We also want to send well wishes to all of our fans and supporters in this time of crisis. We're taking all the necessary steps to stay safe at home and we ask our friends and fans to do the same. Please take care of each other, and stay healthy so we can continue to thrash in the not so distant future! -TESTAMENT

TESTAMENT And ANTHRAX Members Cover STEVIE NICKS's 'Stop Draggin' My Heart Around' wow this is good, I like original song as well, but this has more edgy touch, they found female vocalis, keyboardist. I tgought it will be thrash as bands original sound, but it was so so I am suprised, good touch, some good things happens in those hard times. Thanbks to internet.
