Comparable to
Slayer,
Megadeth, and
Metallica,
Testament is one of
thrash metal's more accessible and best-known bands.
Testament quickly earned respect in
thrash circles with its debut album,
The Legacy, a relentlessly heavy and promising effort focusing on such subjects as the occult, witchcraft, nuclear war, and global destruction. Though one can hear the influence of
Judas Priest and
Metallica on bonecrushing numbers like
"Burnt Offerings," "Apocalyptic City," and
"First Strike Is Deadly," there's no question that
Testament had a collective personality and vision of its own.
Alex Perialas' production is superb -- well respected in
metal circles, he obviously encouraged
Testament to play hard and let it rip.
