New Testament "The Dark Roots Of Earth" will be out on April 27th

[Manifesto]

i expect an updated Low, and Testament seem to be delivering

 

[blue_fAng]

Wow it sounds incredible! I don't hear AC DC at all actually its very unique to me. I love that low tuned snare too!

 

[Virgil.]

holy ape balls this sounds fuking huge. This sample is compressed and clipping like mad though.

 

[Habsburgs]

The CD was produced, mixed and mastered by acclaimed British producer Andy Sneap, who has basically worked with everyone.

lold

 

[Melb_shredder]

OH GOD! Can't wait til this is out

After listening to that... Especially the solos.. I could swear that's the Kemper and not a miced tube amp. Only reason I say that, is especially noticeable on the pinch harmonics in the solos.
Would have Andy's clarity on WHAT the Kemper was used on etc!

Very excited.

 

[Manicompression]

wow, I dunno if its just the low quality file or the cans Im listening on but this sounds really dry and different than anything Ive heard from Andy in a long time. I like the mix, just not what I expected at all. Song is cool. Wish I had a great turntable to justify getting the mega deluxe kill you LP package.

haha, I lol'ed at the very first comment on that soundcloud file: "andy sneap sucks! fake drums sound terrible"

I agree. This is VERY dry in comparison to the last few records that's for sure. You especially hear it on Chucks voice. But I love it, fucking great! Gives it a more raw, energetic BAND vibe in my opinion. Something a band like Testament definitely benefit from!

Agreed 100%

 

[smy1]

Don't like the track. Production sounds great!

 

[Nuno Filipe]

The guitar solo is really loud.

 

[schwinginbatman]

Digging the song a lot. It alone slays the entirety of Formation.

 

[Frantick]

I really hopes that isn't the best song on album, because I waited for it so badly. But if it is, than still best album of this year for me is overkill's electric age

 

[Skinny Viking]

^ I'm really not sure what more you could possibly want / expect from a Testament song

 

[J the TyranT]

Fuck YES! This shit's heavy as fuck. I def liked Formation a ton but I can already see this album fucking ruining that shit if it stays like this.

 

[CubanDude]

Okay, i take it back.. That intro is sick, just like the whole song.

 

[MetalMiller]

Sounds like Metal Machine, in good way

The snare totally sounds like metal machine.

 

[GeertSamuel]

I'm guessing this is Gene on drums. Really curious to hear a song with Chris on there.

Liking the song!
