Testament Essentials

Testament Essentials

Back in 1983, Testament were one of the first bands to develop thrash. However, unlike their peers—Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax—they refused to bow down to commercial pressures and stayed true to their uncompromising speed metal origins. They never stopped touring or recording, and this commitment to pure metal has won them a hardcore cult following, enjoying a renaissance in the 21st Century with the release of 2008's The Formation of Damnation and 2012's Dark Roots of Earth. Both albums charted on the Billboard 200.
