Testament is the band
that shows what Megadeth would have sounded like today if they would
have
continued in the same vein as they started out in but as we all know
(fortunately or
unfortunately?) they didn't. I don't know if I fancy
Testament quite as much as Megadeth but
it is a close call. "Souls Of
Black" is by many considered to be the best album by the band
and it sure is
a good one. The thrash metal scene started out in California in the 80's
and
Testament are one of the best bands to rise above the hundreds of others
existing on and
off at that time. Other bands who have emerged from this area
are well-known acts such as
Megadeth, Vio-lence, Forbidden and Machine Head.
Testament are out of a purely musical point
of view one of the best thrash
metal bands ever but I have a problem with the singer. I don't
know what it
is but his voice has a peculiar ability to
annoy me while the music itself is
exceptionally good. This is still one of the
most important albums in the
history of thrash metal and my favorite Testament song ever,
"Face In The
Sky" can be found here as well. If you like the early Megadeth albums
this
is something you would not want to miss out on since the production is
much better and the riffing
is more
varied.
