The third full-length studio album by legendary American Death Metal/Grindcore band.
US Grindcore legend is back with a brutal crack of skull and bones! "Hordes Of Zombies" are unleashed onto the world in a massive riff avalanche that leaves no doubt that this genre defining band originating from Los Angeles in 1987 is delivering yet another masterpiece of sonic destruction.
True to the American interpretation of Grindcore Terrorizer amalgamate the most forceful elements of Death and Thrash into a true juggernaut of Metal. Since their famed debut "World Downfall" (1989), this beast has been driven by the relentless and precise pounding of Pete Sandoval (Morbid Angel), who delivers yet another jaw-dropping barrage. Fans will be delighted to see Morbid Angel frontman David Vincent once more returning to play bass on this album. They will also be glad to hear that excellent singer Wolf aka Anthony Rezhawk (Resistant Culture), who already refined the highly acclaimed second album "Darker Days Ahead" (2006) is again adding his resonant and fierce growls as well. The new line-up is completed by Katina Culture (Resistant Culture), who is replacing the sadly late Jesse Pintado (August 28th, 2006) on guitar.
Terrorizer continue in the vein of their previous releases, but with added years of experience and musicianship. Their mature and effective songwriting is sonically refined by Dan Swanö at Unisound Studios!
Get ready: the Godfathers of Grindcore are back from the undead!!!

Re-release of the debut full-length album by the legendary American Grindcore band.
"World Downfall" is regarded as one of the most influential Grindcore albums ever: it showcases crunchy, heavily distorted guitar riffs and extremely fast and precise blast beats in addition to growling, harsh vocals and lyrics dealing with social issues, features that would become a standard among Grindcore music, as of the cover art, which is similar to Napalm Death's "Scum" depicting a collage of Islamic terrorists, nuclear power plant, dead bodies and Jesus rising.
The Los Angeles-based trio (vocalist Oscar Garcia, guitarist Jesse Pintado and drummer Pete Sandoval) existed for only a short period of time, roughly from 1987 to 1988, and though they played some local shows, they were most successful on the tape-trading network so integral to the Underground Metal scene of the time.
Via this tape-trading network, Pintado came into contact with fellow guitarist Mitch Harris, who passed along the Terrorizer demo tape to Earache Records. The British label, which was ground zero for the Grindcore movement, wanted to usher Terrorizer into a studio to record an album.
About a third of the songs were actually Nausea material, the previous band of vocalist Oscar Garcia. The band only existed long enough to record this one Earache release. The album was released in 1989 when the band had already split up, with Jesse Pintado joining Napalm Death, and David Vincent and Pete Sandoval joining Morbid Angel.
While Terrorizer was never well known, since the band barely existed, let alone toured or promoted itself, "World Downfall" has grown in stature over time and is regularly cited as a Grindcore classic!!

The ninth full-length studio album (and the first acoustic) by legendary American Hard Rock/Glam Metal band..
Tesla was the best of the end of the ’80s, and helped us to support those that followed with the help of many (often-underestimated) albums such as "Bust A Nut" (1994) or "Into The Now" (2004), which are a few rare pearls.
Somebody have criticized for the pace of cruise (the last real album, "Forever More", dates back to 2008) and, probably, too many compilations or live albums can irritate the strongest fans. But unlimited artistic potential and inspired musicians in the service of the love of the music may not be ignored. And if they have sold to date more than 14 million albums in the United States, this is perhaps not the fruit of chance…
"Twisted Wires & The Acoustic Sessions…" features two new tracks ("2nd Street" and "Better Off Without You") as well as re-recordings of ten previously released tracks. Five of the tracks were recorded in 2005 with Tommy Skeoch on rhythm guitar.
Tesla proves that they are pioneers of the genus acoustic when the period to make-up with consumerism, bastards in a matrix Glam, too Bluesy to be dishonest, too Grunge for leather & Spandex of the bleached of the neighborhood… Blues in the heart of the stone to the wave nature of a precious Metal, here is the perfect conversion of energy into electrical and sensual jolts melodies… Tesla is the precious Metal, now available to all with "Twisted Wires & the Acoustic Sessions".
This album is a true-false compilation of old and new revisited pieces, with great intelligence by a band, in total fitness with his art, perfectly overpowering the senses, innate melody and light compositions. The bias of dust in the releasing of a straitjacket metal leaves explode the talent of a totally free band up with his artistic vein to dare the extreme flaying.
Imagine the Rolling Stones or Aerosmith, scraping their skin to touch finally the bone, a Robert Johnson revived again, preaching the good word, an intoxicated Faces or a more Black Crowes' hungry, guided by the excellence of the voice of Jeff Keith, real guide in this journey to sometimes nostalgic scents. 
A feat here!

The first re-release of the sixth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Very heavy, sounds like Death Metal album. Wonderful mix of past and future, combining the original sound of Testament with heaviest and rawer material. Dark and deep growling vocals, side by side heavity, slowness with the gloom of songs, inspiring passion tirades about war, cruelty to a child, falsity of the gods..., drive and aggression, some darken, and sometimes generating anger.
It’s the first Testament release not to feature lead guitarist and founding member Alex Skolnick. The record was recorded with original band members Chuck Billy (vocals), Eric Peterson (guitar) and Greg Christian (bass). It also saw the first of two Testament album appearances by artist John Tempesta (drums), and three for artist James Murphy (guitar). Long time Testament collaborator Del James is given composer and vocal credits on the album.
"Low" was Testament's last album with Atlantic Records, leading band members to create their own label, Burnt Offerings Inc. as part of the change. Additionally, a music video was filmed for the title track.
In July 2014, Guitar World placed Low at number 40 in their "Superunknown: 50 Iconic Albums That Defined 1994" list.
All in all, Testament's sixth album is probably their most consistent offering. The band doesn't fall prey to their age-old clichés that dragged the band back and have finally found their stride. This is an effort that is to be respected, and deservedly so. A potent mix of Thrash Metal with a wide range of classic and modern influences coupled with good songwriting makes this an album a definite winner!!

The fourth re-release of the eighth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Originally released in 1999, the album came at a time when the Metal’s winds were shifting: Nu-Metal had peaked, Death Metal was on the rise, and every classic band under the sun seemed to be reuniting. Testament, always capable of weathering any industry storm, faced the challenge by creating one of the most brutal and relevant albums in its career.
Co-produced by the last original remaining band members at that time Chuck Billy and Eric Peterson, this is the first album featuring new artists James Murphy (Death, Obituary), Steve DiGiorgio (Death, Sadus, Autopsy) and Dave Lombardo (Slayer). Billy, Peterson and Lombardo, along with long time Testament collaborator Del James, are also given composer credits on the album.
The album was reissued in 2008 with an instrumental bonus track, increasing the new track total to twelve.
"The Gathering" reached #48 on the German album charts.
This is one of the most furious and inspired modern Thrash Metal albums ever, and one of Testament’s best. This is a brilliant Thrash Metal album. Fans of the genre should own this album, if only because good Thrash Metal albums were a rarity back in the late 1990s. But even if that wasn’t true, this is a quality album that deserves to be heard by anyone who has a heart for this genre!

The third full-length studio album by the legendary American Thrash Metal band.
As the last installment of Testament's "big three" albums, a series of well-done Thrash Metal classics, "Practice What You Preach" comes in the last years of Thrash's Golden Age. With great production, clever riffs and astounding solos, as well as decent vocal work, this album is probably one of the best Metal albums of 1989 and a certain classic of the band. It also has a distinctive place at the frayed ends of Testament's prowess; before they turned into a less interesting and less creative style followed from "Souls of Black" through "Demonic".
This album has also had lots of impact on the Thrash community back then and one can see why. Of the most obvious reasons, you have Alex Skolnick. This god of a guitarist pretty much plays some awesome solos that sound very memorable and very technical at the same time. But, aside from that, Eric Peterson also delivers with well-done, memorable riffs and shredding; for example, the riffs of "Practice What You Preach" and "Sins of Omission" can attract you to the song from the first listen and hook you on to the rest of the album. Top all of that guitar work with Chuck Billy's decent vocals, add to it Greg Christian's great bass lines, and finally enjoy Louie Clemente's somewhat distinctive drumming style, and you get a Testament album at its finest.
Also, the originality is certainly a factor here, and one who is not experienced may actually mistake this album for Metallica. The Metallica imitation is at its best in this album, obviously, take Chuck's Hetfield-voice and listen to the guitars and drums in "The Ballad", as if it is "Fade to Black II". Still, though, the riffs and solos remain solid and original, and the sound is still a bit different, but this is perhaps the least original work Testament has put out.
Overall, this album is a great listen and a definite recommendation for Thrash Metal fans!!
"Practice What You Preach" entered the Billboard 200 album charts in September 1989, a month after its release. The album peaked at number 77 and remained on the chart for twelve weeks. By June 1992, album had sold over 450000 copies in the U.S.

The first re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
By 1990, Testament was one of Thrash Metal's Premier acts, easily standing tall with the Big Four of Thrash. An early Bay-area contender, the band has made three solid albums and were poised to make it big with their forth effort, "Souls Of Black".
The band certainly had found their signature sound by the time this album was recorded, and the band managed to capture that sound even without former producer Alex Perialas (this is the first album of Testament recorded without him). "Souls Of Black" unites the Thrashers with the better-known Michael Rosen. With Perialas having served Testament so well, many headbangers wondered how great an impact this change would have on the unit. But they needn't have worried - Testament sounds very much like it did on its three previous albums, and is as heavy as ever.
Although the band recorded this album without the usual producer, the line-up remained unchanged. By this point in the band's career, each member had made their talent known. Alex Skolnick as always managed to crank out some really impressive and melodic guitar solos, and a few of the riffs were extremely memorable. The drums and bass remain solid. The vocals sound very nice, with Chuck Billy giving some of his best performances in tracks like "The Legacy" and "Falling Fast".
In order to promote "Souls Of Black", Testament supported Megadeth, Slayer and Suicidal Tendencies in Europe on the Clash Of The Titans Tour.
The album entered the Billboard 200 album charts on November 3, 1990, peaking at number 73 and remaining on the chart for eight weeks. "Souls Of Black" is also seen as an influential guitar album, being ranked number nine on Guitar World Magazine's top ten list of guitar albums of 1990.
"Souls Of Black" did moderately well, but was not the huge success the band was hoping for. This album would be a precursor to more traditional styles of Metal found on its follow-up "The Ritual", and this release marked the end of an era for Testament. Though it did not introduce anything new and nowhere near as good as "The New Order" the music found here is still powerful and heavy as hell. "Souls of Black" is an acceptable effort for long-time fans of the band!!

The debut full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Comparable to Slayer, Megadeth and Metallica, Testament is one of Thrash Metal's more accessible and best-known bands. “The Legacy” was an Underground hit and is widely considered to be the band's best album, although it did not break the band into the Rock mainstream. Testament quickly earned respect in Thrash Metal circles with its debut album, a relentlessly heavy and promising effort focusing on such subjects as the occult, witchcraft, nuclear war and global destruction. A song titled "The Legacy" was later released on the 1990 album “Souls Of Black”.

The second full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
With "The New Order" album, every bit as brutally forceful as "The Legacy", but the songs are even more memorable, the band delivered its best offering ever. It's a natural evolution in comparison with "The Legacy", with much more hooks and absolutely no filler! 
"The New Order" was the album that broke Testament into the Thrash Metal mainstream. This success would only grow with their next album, "Practice What You Preach".
It was also the band's first album to include an instrumental track.
“The New Order” entered the Billboard 200 album charts about three months after its release. The album peaked at number 136 and remained on the chart for thirteen weeks, making it Testament's longest run so far. "Trial by Fire" and "The Preacher" were released as Singles, but neither of them charted. By 1990, “The New Order” had sold over 250,000 copies in the U.S.
An essential Thrash outfit! For those purchasing their first Testament album, "The New Order" is the ideal choice!!

The fifth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
The last studio album to feature drummer Louie Clemente and guitarist Alex Skolnick, until the latter rejoined the band in 2005. It was also their first album to be released and distributed only by the Atlantic, whereas Testament's previous four albums were co-released by Megaforce Records.
On "The Ritual", Testament began exploring a slower and more melodic approach, while still maintaining their Thrash roots. Certain songs on the album, including the title track (the longest song they had recorded at the time) and "Return To Serenity", also see the band continuing to explore a Technical and Progressive vein that was used on "Practice What You Preach" and "Souls Of Black".
In support of "The Ritual", Testament toured for over a year with bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, White Zombie, Corrosion Of Conformity, Pro-Pain, D.R.I., Green Jellÿ, Body Count and GWAR. By the end of 1992, during the middle of the tour, guitarist Alex Skolnick had decided to leave the band, with Clemente following suit. Several line-up changes took place before guitarist James Murphy and drummer John Tempesta were hired for the band's next album, "Low".
The album was a minor success, reaching No. 55 on the American Billboard 200. This would be Testament's highest position in their career, until 2012's "Dark Roots Of Earth", which reached No. 12 on the same chart. The record also spawned the band's only charting Single, "Return To Serenity", which reached No. 22 on Mainstream Rock Tracks. By June 2007, "The Ritual" had sold 485,000 copies in the United States.

Third and last full-length album by American Melodic Death Metal/Metalcore band.
Their first two albums were amazing, crafting their own sound, and bring a lot of darkness to Metalcore. However with this release, they took some major steps back. On their third album The Agony Scene pays tribute to legendary Swedish Metal and exhibits that there are still bands capable of branding punishing Metalcore. And here The Agony Scene sounds like In Flames. The band's formula is also standard: dueling guitars, commonly-placed breakdowns, screaming vocalist, double bass, et cetera, et cetera. The songs are three- to four-minute scampers, bordering on Melodic Death Metal in most cases. But for some reason this is dubbed “Metalcore” in this day and age. The band apparently has had several line-up changes and each one has altered its sound. Williams has said the band made a strong attempt to get back to the writing and style of their self-titled record.
The cover art that is most commonly displayed is not the true "cover", to say; it is merely a cardboard slip-cover. The small, inverted coffin (superimposed with a ↓/downward-facing arrow) is a cut-out window in the outer sleeve, which exposes a portion of the art beneath it.

The debut full-length studio album by Norwegian Blackened Death/Thrash Metal band.
The Battalion is a something of a Bergen/Norway uber-band, containing members and ex-members from such outfits as Old Funeral, Grimfist, Borknagar and Helheim, only this isn't the Black Metal super group you'd expect, this is actually the darkest and most old-school Blackened Thrash Metal you can expect, and it kicks the proverbial ass!
Helped by a clear, yet raw sound, the guys kick right into "The Spirit Of Masculinity", a track that sums up the complete and utter testosterone injection their music is, think Hellhammer, Bathory and, of course, Old Funeral themselves, and you get a picture of just how damn evil this sounds, it reeks of oldschool, sweat, piss and all.
Following the excellent and anthemic "Born In A Grave", the guys inject some serious Punk into "Detonate", which bears the early 80s feel of bands such as Amebix and Discharge, with heavier guitars and a Metallic aftertaste that is. The wah-wah soloing towards the end is impressive, and then vocalist Stud Bronson seemingly dies with the song…
The one thing that is absolutely clear here, is that the band is having the time of its life, they still play well, write great riffs, but above all, this has the energy of a band that really enjoys itself and doesn’t take its shit too seriously, and there are very few bands that actually do that.
So grab a beer, re-arrange your old tape-cassette demos collection and give these guys a listen for a thrashing good time!!
