HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so goddamn good....my head almost flew off my F'in neck!

I'm surprised nobody is talking about that song snippet. It has me entirely sold on this new album. That Eric Peterson riff when Gene Hoglan comes in with the ride is absolutely crushing.

I pretty much suck at playing the game but that sound snippet when you access the game site is fucking killer. I think I like it more than the title track. I wonder which song that is. I'm guessing the intro to the Pale King. We'll soon find out!

Same here. The first time I heard it I was a little dissapointed because it sounded like something I've heard before off their previous few albums but now it's grown on me. I love the sound of the drums and bass. My favorite part is the double bass quadruplets or whatever the heck Hoglan is...

I like this song but was expecting something along the lines of Fall of Sipledome :-) My expectations are always set too high but I've come to the realization that nothing can ever top The Gathering. That is a thrash metal masterpiece that no band will ever come close to. Impossible to compose...

redfly the song you're referring to that didn't make it onto DROE was called Merciless Desecration. Maybe they still kept the song but changed the title. I've been reading some comments on blabbermouth in response to Chuck Billy's true assessment of the recording process for BoTS and I think...

Call me crazy but I actually like the fact that Eric wrote all the riffs for the new album and this is not a knock on Alex Skolnick who is one of my all time favorite guitarists in the world but when it comes to writing thrash metal rhythm guitar Eric is the King. I'm hoping for The Gathering...

I don't think Gene Hoglan is going anywhere. I read an interview not too long ago where he mentioned to Testament in advance that he wouldn't be able to perform at Heavy MTL and in Denver along with possibly a few other one-off shows. If he's not sitting behind the kit on the Corpse tour in...

I've tried my best to carry the flag on these forums but I have to admit that I've been reading and posting here less and less. I recall Chuck Billy once posting on this forum when the original members reformed and started touring but I haven't seen a single post from any band member since which...

Would it be too much to ask for Chuck or Eric to give their fans an audio snippet of a new riff from the new album they're about to record? With today's technology this should be a piece of cake. There's no marketing build up whatsoever. Are we supposed to just wait in suspense until...

I needed to get my metal fix while awaiting the new Testament album. Here's a couple of really good new releases that I'd recommend. Fear Factory - Genexus. IMO it's way better than their previous release. 8/10 Cattle Decapitation - The Anthropocene Extinction. Brutal, relentless, &...

These days I believe the best chance of getting a solid turnout at gigs is to put a good package together and the proof is there. Testament/Exodus/Shattered Sun was a great tour with good turnouts Testament/Overkill/Flotsam/4arm was outstanding Anthrax/Testament/Death Angel is arguably the...

I think part of the issue are these silly one-off festivals they keep signing up to like Heavy MTL and now Denver. Instead of playing at these summer festivals they should be focused on writing the new album. Especially when they have to perform with half the band I don't see what's the point...

I was at the 2006 show and it was really good. This was around the Live in London era when Testament had reformed with the original members and were starting to get offers to play all over the world. As for Heavy MTL I'm a little hesitant to buy a ticket because I don't know who will be...
