A live performance packed with classics such as \"Practice What You Preach\" and \"Over the Wall.\" Testament is a band that represents the Bay Area thrash scene. Because their debut album, \"Legacy,\" was released in '87, they are often associated with the post-'Master of Puppets' era, but they were formed in '83. In other words, they belong to the first generation of bands that have been active since the early days of thrash. Their original name was Legacy. The vocalist was, as you all know, Steve \"Zetro\" Sousa. But in 1986, Zetro was poached by Exodus. They brought in Chuck Billy as their replacement vocalist and recorded their debut album, but faced another problem. A jazz band had trademarked the name \"Legacy,\" forcing them to change their name. It was Billy Milano, known as the vocalist of S.O.D., who suggested the name \"Testament.\" However, at that time, they had a tailwind that blew away such problems. With \"Master of Puppets\" ranking high on the Billboard charts, thrash metal bands from San Francisco, Metallica's hometown, were attracting a lot of attention. Naturally, Testament was no exception. Their debut album, \"Legacy,\" was released by a major label right away. They continued their impressive run with albums like \"The New Order\" (1988), \"Practice What You Preach\" (1989), and \"Souls of Black\" (1990). Even during the dark ages of heavy metal in the 1990s, Testament chose to move forward rather than disband. In 2001, Chuck Billy suffered the misfortune of contracting a rare type of cancer, but he overcame it with unwavering determination. After signing with Nuclear Blast Records, one of Europe's largest record labels, they released high-quality works such as \"The Formation of Damnation\" (2008), \"Dark Roots of Earth\" (2012), and \"Brotherhood of the Snake\" (2016), and continue to hold their position as a leading figure in the Bay Area thrash scene. And now, four years after their last album, their long-awaited new album is finally being released. Titled \"Titans of Creation,\" this album is, according to guitarist Eric Peterson, \"old-school thrash.\" There isn't a Testament fan who wouldn't be thrilled by this. The harmonies, which Eric describes as \"Mercyful Fate-esque,\" add to the powerful album's appeal. Heavy, fast, and sometimes catchy, this is a Testament album for Testament and thrash fans alike?a comfortable and enjoyable listen. The artwork is by Eliran Kantor, and the mixing is by Andy Sneap, the usual backing band. The Japanese edition includes a bonus disc featuring the full recording of their February 2017 performance at Shibuya TSUTAYA O-EAST!
