“The Formation of Damnation”
Nuclear Blast Records

Thrash-mongers, true to form, and sticking to their metal roots, unyielding and more intense than ever before, comes the thrash line-up of the year: Chuck Billy, Paul Bastoph, Alex Skolnick, Greg Christian, and Eric Peterson. Testament accomplishes the pressing of another well seasoned and well executed metal release. The vocals are denser coated with a gritty sound, rhythm and lead guitars are unpredictable yet produce an aura of future metal, the percussion and layered bass sections convey a firestorm of sounds, (a movement once started by old school Sabbath). Lyrical themes include the quest and questions of an afterlife, ushering in of the countdown of the meeting at Har Megiddo, virtue, and resilience. This disc is a welcomed addition to your collection. From the ear-deadening speed coupled with punctuality, and from the unbridled virtuosity ~ lands TESTAMENT.
Superior songs include: More Than Meets The Eye, The Evil Has Landed, The Formation of Damnation, Afterlife, and F.E.A.R.
