Free Music Review: Great debut, One of the best thrash albums ever
Hit: 5 Stars
Testament is one of the forgotten band of the Bay Area thrash scene of the 80's. They were technically as good as Megadeth, as agressive as Slayer and Pantera and as melodic as Metallica. The lead guitarist Alex Skolnick was only 17 when he played on this album and his style sounds like a mix of Yngwie Malmsteen, George Lynch and Kirk Hammett. The lead guitar playing is incredible, the riffs kick ass and the vocals sound great.
1.Over the Wall- 10/10 A great opener. The opening riff has a great harmony and is heavy at the same time. The song is fast and heavy and Chuck Billy's agressive vocals are excellent. A ton of great riffs in this song and the chorus is great with Chuck Billy's high pitched scream and the shouted backround vocals. The guitar solo is excellent aswell and starts off slow before going into a fast melodic epic power metal tyle section which has some great sweep picking. A classic song with great guitar work and vocals. Thrash metal at it's best.
2.The Haunting- 10/10 Another great melodic thrash song. Chuck Billy's vocals are excellent and the harmonized riff is great aswell. The shouted backround vocals kick ass too. A great shredding solo too.
3.Burnt Offerings- 10/10 An awesome melodic song. The intro is soft and has a great harmony in it and than it goes into a killer thrash section. The song is similar to Blackened by Metallica. A great chorus too and plenty of great harmonies. The solo is excellent once again and reminds me a lot of Kirk Hammett's Master Of Puppets solo.
4.Raging Waters- 8/10 Another good song. This song reminds me of early Slayer. Chuck Billy's vocals aren't quite as good as on the other songs. There are still some cool riffs though. Some good screams and the chorus is pretty good too . Alex Skolnick's solo is incredible and one of his fastest! Not as great as the classics on the album but still a good song.
5.C.O.T.L.O.D.- 8/10 Another good song. this is a very short song at only 2:30 and reminds me a lot of early Slayer. A good chorus and some excellent riffs. Another great shredding solo too.
6.First Strike Is Deadly- 10/10 Another good heavy thrash song. A great screamed chorus and some killer riffs. The backround vocals kick ass too. Another blazing solo too and it has a great melodic sweeping section that reminds me of Yngwie. The harmony part of the solo reminds me of Metallica. Chuck Billy's scream after the solo is great too.
7.Do or Die- 10/10 A classic. Yet another thrash song. The lyrics are cool and the chorus is good. Another blazing solo and some more killer riffs. this classic kicks ass. The best 2 songs on the album are the last though!
8.Alone in the Dark- 10/10 This melodic thrash masterpeice starts off with a great slow melodic guitar solo. The riff just kicks ass. The idea of playing the melody in octaves is cool too. Chuck Billy's vocals are very good and the chorus is excellent. The heavy riff and shouted backround vocals kick ass. The diminished harmony fill is great too. Some of the best lyrics on the album too. I think this is the best song on the album. The interlude is excellent and leads into another great melodic harmony line. Alex Skolnick's shredding solo is great and reminds me of Yngwie Malmsteen. The slower melodic ending to the solo is great too. This is not only my favorite song on the album but my favorite Testament song! A classic!
9.Apocalyptic City- 10/10 Another masterpeice. the creepy soft intro shreds chills down my spine and the slow melodic intro solo is great too. The first heavy riff is slower and once again the vocal melody is played in octaves on guitar. This is my second favorite song on the album. Another great harmonized riff aswell. This turns into a thrash song and Chuck Billy delivers another great performance. More awesome shoted backround vocals and a killer chorus. The guitar solo is impressive as hell and has some great sweep picking and shredding. Another great melodic section of the solo. A classic thrash song that is almost as good as Alone In The Dark. A great way to end the album. This is also the longest song on the album.
This is my favorite Testament album. The songs are like a mix of Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Megadeth and Yngwie Malmsteen. This album is up there with such masterpeices as Ride The Lighting, Cowboys From Hell, Rust In Peace, Master Of Puppets, Vulgar Display Of Power and Show No Mercy. This album is full of great thrash riffs, thrashy drumming, melodic shredding solos, harmonies, agressive vocals, soft parts leading into thrash songs...just everything you could ask for in a thrash album. Fans of Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, Megadeth, Exodus ect. should all own this. A masterpeice!
