I agree Trial By Fire blew me away too! Great song and video. I love Practice What You Preach alot too though. I prefer the older albums but the new one is good. I need to check out their middle era. I do like Eric Peterson's other band Dragonlord alot. Some beautiful moments in there.

Cemetary's album kicks ass! Love those guys.

Hey Xinen,
I agree for that time in 1988, the head banging between Greg and Billy, let me just say Damn, they were going off! I really like that video. I never heard of Eric Petersons' side project, I guess I've been so busy looking into other bands.

As for Cemetary, I have all of their material from Sundown, Sp3tra, Cemetary 1213, but never heard their 2 demos :mad:

Mathias Lodmalm also produced Lake of Tears "Greater Art" which I thought was awesome. You can even hear Mathias influence behind Lake of Tears music. I love the song"evil inside"

When I saw Testament, Sanctuary, Violence and Savatage in 1988 at the Vic Theater in Chicago, why is that even the performance has change into less ethusiaium? That is the prefect reason why I'm listening to other bands. Try Bob Katsionis-new album NOEMON! It's addicting, instrumental keyboard metal with a good feeling. Truly amazing!

Dragonlord is amazing. Anyways, I like New Order and Practice. Solid albums.

+1. The only stuff I like about Testament is the lead melody before and after the solo of over the wall, return to serenity and first strike is deadly. The rest of their stuff is just so so. Now wonder you had the "Big Four" of thrash and not "Big Five."

My favorite Testament albums are Low and The Gathering. I suppose I like their groovier material.

I agree. The hate on this board for this band is ridiculous. Testament is good stuff.

Um...yeah, sure. Or maybe it was because they came out too long after the "Big Four." That's probably why they're part of the so-called "second wave" of Bay Area thrash.

:rolleyes:

They may be second wave. But they are still boring, like Metallica.

For some strange reason I find Demonic thoroughly enjoyable compared to their more thrashier stuff. That's probably the only other thing I enjoyed from this band.

Who are you people?

Does anyone actually strive to fully understand things these days or what? I mean, is everything just so immediate that no one is bothered to research shit they have opinions on?

Yes, Testament had a successful era--it's call their whole career. Or is this one of those instances where mainstream success matters? Doesn't matter when concerning classics, right? But it totally matters in terms of success. Pffft!

I love you Ken.

But Testament still sucks.
