  • Comparable to Slayer, Megadeth, and Metallica, Testament is one of thrash metal's more accessible and best-known bands. Testament quickly earned respect in thrash circles with its debut album, The Legacy, a relentlessly heavy and promising effort focusing on such subjects as the occult, witchcraft, nuclear war, and global destruction. Though one can hear the influence of Judas Priest and Metallica on bonecrushing numbers like "Burnt Offerings," "Apocalyptic City," and "First Strike Is Deadly," there's no question that Testament had a collective personality and vision of its own. Alex Perialas' production is superb -- well respected in metal circles, he obviously encouraged Testament to play hard and let it rip. ~ Alex Henderson

Testament's first and most ferocious release, less than a year after changing their name from LEGACY to TESTAMENT. This is by faaaaaaaaar the best Testament release of all time, featuring classic classic songs such as "Alone in the dark" and "Raging waters", this is a non-stop thrashfest from start to end. This album cannot be faulted - i love it and recommend it as a MUST BUY RIGHT NOW album to everyone!
