Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0727361200527 Label: Nuclear Blast Americ Manufacturer: Nuclear Blast Americ MPN: 12005 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Nuclear Blast Americ Release Date: April 29, 2008 Studio: Nuclear Blast Americ Editorial Review: Album Description: The Formation of Damnation is the 2008 release-- the first Testament studio album of all new material in nine years. This is the first Testament album to feature Alex Skolnick on guitar since 1992's The Ritual, also the first to feature bassist Greg Christian since 1994's Low. Testament are an US thrash metal band from California. Some of their records entered the charts in major markets such as the UK and Germany. Testament has two Top 40 albums and one Top 50 album to its credit in the UK. Their 1999 album The Gathering also entered the Top 50 in Germany. They had minor top 100 album success in the United States. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Suh-weetBrutal! This album is amazing; I'd have given it 5 stars but the corny 9/11 lyrics on "The Evil has Landed" warrant a reduction. That aside, the album is flawless. Glad the boys are back in town. Rating:  - Metal album of the year, no question!It's like The Gathering meets The Legacy, or perhaps what the Gathering would have been with Alex Skolnick. Either way this album thrashes like mad and puts the bands talent to full use. The Henchmen Ride and More Than Meet The Eye are certainly not only among the best from Testament ever, but the best songs in the thrash metal genre to date.

I wanna hear 1 the RIFFS, 2 The lEADS 3 The Bass and the drums 4 I wanna hear the singer but not be overpowered by him. I was not overpowered by the singer but it did sound a little hollow,,I know,,,I know its suppose to be heavy but the only enjoyable part was the musicmanship..Look folks this the same mess that was made on the last Exodus album... Andy Sneap's ... Read More Rating: - Testament's Thrash Comeback!Awesome Riffs, Headbanging chugging rhythm, Chucks incredible vocals, Alex's "electrifying" playing..what else could you ask for. One of the best albums of 2008! If you love old school thrash metal...get it! Rating: - Testament to the Bone...Very good production. You can hear everything very clearly and in its place with very clear and strong tones. Same for mixing. Everything is in balance. Most of the writing is done by Chuck and Eric. In terms of song writing quality, do not expect a new The Gathering though. Although it has been several years since their last offering, the song writing feels like they have rushed a little bit. This does not mean that the album is bad, but rather there are no surprises. The songs mostly start ... Read More |
