Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0727361200527 Label: Nuclear Blast Americ Manufacturer: Nuclear Blast Americ MPN: 12005 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Nuclear Blast Americ Release Date: April 29, 2008 Studio: Nuclear Blast Americ Editorial Review: Album Description: The Formation of Damnation is the 2008 release-- the first Testament studio album of all new material in nine years. This is the first Testament album to feature Alex Skolnick on guitar since 1992's The Ritual, also the first to feature bassist Greg Christian since 1994's Low. Testament are an US thrash metal band from California. Some of their records entered the charts in major markets such as the UK and Germany. Testament has two Top 40 albums and one Top 50 album to its credit in the UK. Their 1999 album The Gathering also entered the Top 50 in Germany. They had minor top 100 album success in the United States. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Damnation is upon youFrom the beginning to the end this album just rocks. After hearing Low, The Gathering and now Formation of Damnation, this is the New Testament that we have waited for. Keeping to the true style of the Bay Area Thrash this band has only progressed themselves to a higher level. From Thrash albums (NWO, PWYP) the ritual is a good listen but kinda lost me through the sound of trying to sound radio friendly. Then came Return to the Apocalyptic City, a refreshing live mini album that made me wait in suspense ...

I loved these releases back in the eighties and nineties due to Alex Skolnick's guitar work. Well, the band is back and at its zenith with an aggressive and non-stop drum pounding release. any long time fan will appreciate this album especially now tat Alex Skolnick is back and at his best. Rating: - GREAT!!I usually dont bother with reviews but holy crap! this is metal at it best. I can only say these guys could hang with Pantera easily.That is saying alot.This will be my favorite album of 2008.It is great to know there are still musicans left in this bullcrap world of Rap and Pop. Thanks Guys!! Talent like this is rare these days. Rating: - The Day Of Thrash.This album was great. I would suggest it for any metal music lovers. The drumming has improved alot, the speed is so much better than the last couple and the band has truly come together in the best way possible on this cd. Welcome thrash kings, welcome real metal, welcome scream souls. Buy it, Never regret. Rating: - Top 10 Trash release of all timeI've been listening to metal music since 1980 and followed all the trends and twists on the form that have surfaced. When it comes to trash I've listened to it and enjoyed for the last 25 years. There are few releases that I regard as among the best; Reign In Blood and Seasons In The Abyss by Slayer, Bonded By Blood by Exodus, Master Of Puppets and Ride The Lightning Metallica, Peace Sells and Rust In Peace by Megadeth among others. I've always enjoyed Testament up to a certain degree ... Read More |
