Testament
- The Formation Of Damnation - Nuclear Blast Records Testament,
in my opinion, were the kings of Thrash. They
marched through the 80’s and early 90’s with titanic releases that eclipsed
their peers in more ways than one. But
after the release of The Ritual the band that would be kings slowly fell apart
just leaving Chuck and Eric as the sole original members to soldier on with sub
par releases. Through it all most
of the members have stayed active in music and through
it all they found their way back to make a new record.
They could have just made a record to go back out on tour with but they
have recorded a monster. The
Formation Of Damnation is THE CD that they needed to come back with and the one
that the fans want to hear. The
11 tracks here represent the best work that Testament has turned in in ages.
From the bite that the instrumental opener For The Glory Of has to the
over the top classic Testament feel Henchmen Ride delivers, this is the
definitive roar back. More Than
Meets The Eyes, The Evil Has Landed
and Killing Season all harken back to what made Testament great, huge vocals,
massive guitars and a fast as a shark rhythms.
And to the fans that have become used to slower songs with the classic
Testament, they are not here. They
are shotgun fast and utterly devastating. Everybody
was on the edge of their seat while waiting for this dramatic come back and it
was well worth the wait. If you are
a metal fan and you Do Not buy this, you have now lost your metal badge, you are
Not a metal head. CD
