Unbelievable. A band that is solidly routed in the old style of standard thrash music decides to regress backwards a bit on this last release. Apparently the sheer mundane boredom (and probable bad sales) that was "Demonic" didn't seem to upset Mr. Billy all that much. Of course, this time around, we have a who's who of the metal world... mix in James Murphy (ex-Death/Cancer/Obituary) with veterans Dave Lombardo (duh) and Steve DiGiorgio (Sadus/Death) and it is a pretty fearsome line-up. But, as luck would have it, Testament throws out the progressions in their style over the last decade or so in favor of the same old cup of watered down meade. Songs like "Do Not Resuscitate" which should have been called "Please Resuscitate Our Talent" and "Legions Of The Dead" will probably entertain the masses of rivetheads who can't get enough of that blotter-acid type unfiltered noise. Listen only in well lit areas... for your own sanity!
