The last album of the classic era of Testament and probably the most controversial; well until the next few albums of the band after “The Ritual”. When I first heard “The Ritual” I hated it. I found it tremendously boring and not very enjoyable.
Still filled with a massive and unstoppable energy since their last release, TESTAMENT has taken their style to the next level and present an album that is loyal to the roots of traditional thrash metal while still bringing alluring, brilliant, and progressive ingredients to the table.
