Good Death Metal November 21, 2008
Christian Dunn (Peoria, IL USA)
The only reason I do not give this album five stars is because every track on this album is not great, just most of them. I recommend this album to the listener that likes death metal vocals but thinks Cannibal Corpse is too over-the-top. If you have never listened to death metal, this is a great place to start. Also, if you are not fond of lengthy guitar solos or would like to hear some moderate paced metal without excessive guitar solos for a change, this album is for you. I think 'Demonic Refusal' is the best song off of this album. Gene "The Atomic Clock" Hoglan, as usual, delivers drum parts that both display his virtuosity and fit in with the rest of the band.
 different but great November 17, 2008

I have loved testament over the years. This release is very different, heavy but like deathmetal combined. But this does not change the way of how good the album is. chuck billy still knows what he is doing. If you like deathmetal and thrash put together you will love this album.
I dig it soooo much! \m/ September 22, 2008

I own the re-release by Prosthetic. Oh man! This is full of crunchy riffs and powerful grunting vocals from Chuck Billy. You bet it is like no other Testament release, but these guys excel on this thrashy death metal variant anyways. Just the energetic "The Burning Times" is worth the price of the entire album! Production-wise, this is just perfect. The rhythm section is intense and pounding, and the guitar riffs will get you air-guitaring until your wrists will melt. However, it's a shame there are not too many flashy solos (I do miss Skolnick) and that "Hatreds Rise" sounded to me so close to Scorpion's "The Sails Of Charon". But besides those two very minor flaws, this is enjoyable... as hell -- he, he. Crank it up to eleven, bang your head and you'll see... It's just so nice when artists dare to throw you a curveball! Just hit it now out of the field... Great release. ROCK ON, TESTAMENT!!!

Yes it's a turn in a heavier direction for Testament, and less "thrashy". Nonetheles this is an excellent, catchy, brutal album with crushing production that is grossly underrated and overlooked. Heavy, memorable, melodic guitar hooks, punding rhythm section, excellent writing, and Chuck really bellowing from his guts, adds up to one of the most memorable albums from 1997, a metal masterpiece, meant to be cranked. If you didn't like it, you don't "get it". Amust-have for any Testament fan and for any fan of good, powerful, well-crafted metal with top-notch lyrics.

Well what can i say about Testament, There one of the best thrash bands out to emerge from the late 80's. But this album is not really Trash, Some Elements of some Death- Chuck's voice But Does sound pretty mean, To me i dont think its that good of an album if you really Know testament and what they sound like before this album.
I would go with The New Order, Preach, Legacy. If you really like the sounds of this album go with Low, Gathering. Demonic is the last in Line with Testament.
