Okay, I admit it. I can't resist this shit. I'm Pavlov's dog and the gods of thrash just rang the fucking dinner bell. You can be as sick of retro throwback bands as you want, you can say we don't need a band like MERCILESS DEATH around when we have the original 80's classics to ...March 26, 2007

But these guys ha...March 19, 2007

The Spitfire Collection
First and foremost, let it be known that the stone-cold zero (NA) rating above has nothing to do with TESTAMENT as a musical entity, or about the music on this CD. You'd have to be a dick not to show some respect for their (ahem) legacy — they're one of the few bands of their ...March 10, 2007
