Oh crap.. is it a scratch like caused by poor package handling or does it look like a factory flaw? Wait, silly question, I don't think one can tell the difference just by watching.. anyway, I'm expecting my vinyl copy which should arrive at any moment now, hope is not damaged.

That's a pretty decent number, and it probably does not include digital downloads.. or does it? On the other hand, selling close to 100k (and especially being a band with no radio airplay anywhere) in the times of illegal downloading sounds awesome to me. In certain ways Testament is an...

I am so hooked on the choruses... A Day in the Death (the my back is against the wall line kicks me in the middle of the brain every time) and Man Kills Mankind are masterpieces in that aspect to me. Some of the catchiest choruses I've heard in ages

I was about to mention the info regarding the world charts. Just saw that Alex uploaded a pic in his facebook account showing their current position. I just feel really good for the guys, in my opinion no other classic thrash band deserves such an accomplishment more than Testament.

Gotta agree on that one, they managed not to let the album leak until the very release date (I tried to find it during the previous weeks and couldn't find it anywhere), and that's just incredible in these days if you ask me. I'm glad NB took the band seriously and promoted the album like one...

It wouldn't be the first time that Blabbermouth is uploading shit about a band. And that's without even mentioning they very often write articles about topics not related to metal at all.. so much for credibility :err:

I was finally able to listen to the sample, can't give an opinion until the full song is available. But anyway, I'll enjoy it for what it is: just a re-recording for a special edition; an old song with present day Testament sound and production, not much of a mystery after all :)

Great fucking news! Wonder if the total worldwide sales will ever be disclosed by Nuclear Blast.. anyway, this is a great accomplishment!

Hopefully in a couple days the re-recorded version of PWYP will be available somewhere online, I'm dying to listen to it!

Yeah, great work man

True, that's a great setlist, I missed the live broadcast but found that some users have already uploaded some videos of it to youtube, the full concert is not available yet though..

That's right, I write reviews for a website too and every time I need a band's info, it only takes an e-mail to their management/label for them to happily send you a press kit with everything you need to know. Besides there's also metal-archives.com... so no one can say they "didn't know" in...

Enjoy it! I bought the 2 LP version via Amazon, and after I did I realized it will be released until August 15th... waiting 3 or 4 more weeks for the LP seems like a medieval torture now :waah: but probably I'll buy the CD/DVD version in one of our local metal stores (there are like 5 or 6 in my...

Well, I am delighted. I wouldn't change a single chord or drum beat in this album, I believe what amazes me the most is that the band sounds incredibly prolific, and you wouldn't expect anybody to sound this fresh and full of ideas after 26 years. They just sound so damn tight and confident :rock:

Native Blood is a great single, probably not the best song on the album but a strong punch in the face anyway, the version of the song in Spanish just blew my head; I'm a Spanish speaker and listening to Chuck's voice singing in my language for the first time in the 20 years I've been a fan, was...
