a band that im just gettin into

[Will Bozarth]

look down

 

[krymson]

FUCK YEAH!! Testament rules man, if all you have is the old stuff, I'd reccomend their First Strike Still Deadly album...re-recordings of some of the classics (including disciples) that just sound awesome.

 

[Will Bozarth]

First Strike Still Deadly is the one im listening to the only one i got

 

[krymson]

The version of The Preacher on there is fuckin insane...if you're looking for more, go with "Low" and "The Gathering", both great discs.

 

[Black Winter Day]

Welcome to the fold!

Buy THE GATHERING now!

 

[krymson]

Avoid Demonic though...it has a few good tracks, but it's not really Testament proper...

 

[Will Bozarth]

tnx ill get the gathering as soon as i get the $$$

 

[krymson]

Be lucky like me and find it used for $5.99

 

[Pure Evil]

yeah the gathering is just so brutal and tight and great! and definitely avoid demonic. also make sure to check out "practice what you preach." the solo on the title track by mr. skolnick is worth it alone !

 

[Will Bozarth]

woah, im not THAT lucky

 

[Will Bozarth]

isnt Testament's guitarist Steve Smythe or am i missing something?

 

[krymson]

They've changed lineups many a time...I believe smyth is playing with them now (though I'd have to check liner notes, and god knows I'm far too lazy to do that)

 

[Will Bozarth]

jesus christ... vocals on Alone in the Dark are attrocious

 

[krymson]

Old-style...trust me, you won't find any of that on The Gathering...and your head will go into auto-bang mode from the beginning of D.N.R. to the very end of Fall of Siple Dome.

 

[Will Bozarth]

cool i gotta check this out... i think im gonna download it, then when i get the $$ ill buy it, thats what i do with most of the cds i get

 

[cenotaph]

The Gathering rulez especially because of dave lombardos amazing drumming and huge amount of go-like riffs.
First strike still deadly is also one of my favourite albums

 

[cenotaph]

nah it should be god-like...............................

 

[ZANEX]

TESTAMENT RULES!! I'VE FOLLOWED THEM SINCE THE LEGACY. PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH, LOW, THE NEW ORDER, THE GATHERING,SOULS OF BLACK, THE RITUAL, DEMONIC, FIRST STRIKE...THEY ALL ROCK.

D N R





ONE OF THE BEST SONGS I HAVE EVER HEARD

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Anyway, to TRULY appreciate all that Testament has to offer, you MUST begin with both 'The New Order' and 'Practice What You Preach.'

They are ESSENTIAL Bay Area Thrash records. All the rest comes later.
