Product Information

"Polish the crown because 2012's thrash kings have been crowned!" Terrorizer (UK) | Lee MacBride

Few bands have the capability to survive lineup changes, health crises and over 25 years of rapidly changing tastes, only to come out the other side primed to impress once again. Legendary Bay Area thrashers Testament are one of the few living legends of the thrash metal scene who are able to evoke the same strong emotions as they did in the 80s and who truly grow with each album without abandoning the substance and integrity they are known for. With their newest effort, “Dark Roots Of Earth”, they have proven once again that there is no stopping their relentless talent!

FACTS:

• First album with Gene Hoglan (Opeth, Fear Factory, Death) back on drums since 1997’s “Demonic”.

• Album was produced, mixed and mastered once again by the world renowned Andy Sneap (Arch Enemy, Nevermore, Accept, Exodus).

• Special bonus tracks were recorded, mixed and mastered by Juan Urteaga (Cattle Decapitation, Heathen, etc.).

• The cover art was painted by Eliran Kantor (Sodom Atheist, Sigh).

METAL HAMMER | Marc Halupczok

"Starkes Album! Knüpft an die besten Zeiten von der Band an. Testament machen das, wozu Metallica nicht mehr in der Lage sind! Thrash vom Feinsten!"
HEAVY | Jürgen Lugerth

"Ausgewogene Mischung aus Thrash Metal und Alternative Rock. Ein Album, das orthodoxe Hörer zugleich befriedigen kann und vor allem herausfordert!"
LEGACY | Dominik Irtenkauf
