Testament: 5 Greatest Albums From The Thrash Metal Legends

4. The Gathering

testament-the-gathering

Recommended Track: Down For Life, ferocious chorus, powerful lyrics, and Eric Peterson's pummelling riffs; a thrilling combination. A contemporary Thrash album that far surpasses the competition, the core of Testament (Chuck Billy and Eric Peterson) gathered together three of the finest musicians in metal to help them in their cause; namely James Murphy (Obituary/Disincarnate/Cancer), Dave Lombardo (Slayer) and Steve DiGiorgio (Sadus/Death/Autopsy). The Gathering is huge, aggressive and clinical Thrash Metal composed by what is ostensibly, a Thrash Metal super group, pooling their considerable talents to produce an album worthy of their pedigree. Balanced, professional and polished in every department this is an album that deserves classic status and it's a shame that this incredible line-up only produced one album under the Testament banner.

I love Heavy Metal, and generally anything that involves a guitar and loud noises, so I figured it was about time I put all the useless information in my head to good use and start writing a few things. Most of the time I'll be writing nonsense but occasionally I may surprise myself and appear half-way knowledgable.....but you can be the judge of that. Thanks for your fleeting attention!
