For this brand new record, "The Formation Of Damnation", the band has brought their original lineup back together -- vocalist Chuck Billy, guitarists Eric Peterson & Alex Skolnick, and bassist Greg Christian -- and have added friend and former member, Paul Bostaph.
"It's come full circle. We were together, moving strong, then we broke up and had several different lineups," says Billy. "But now we got a new band, a new label, a new album, everything's positive."
The Formation of Damnation has since sold over 84,000 copies in the U.S and as of November 2011 it sold over 300,000 copies worldwide

[@ronaldshank7589]

Yeah! Unfortunately, they're a Killer Band that got overlooked, because of one thing:They were NEVER willing to Compromise! Metallica compromised, and yeah, they've sold well over 125,000,000 albums, but that's because they COMPROMISED! Testament NEVER compromised, and, as a result, they will go down in history as one of the TRUEST examples of Metal that has ever existed! I love songs like this one, as well as Native Blood, Brotherhood of the Snake, Electric Crown, Practice what you Preach, Over the Wall, and others. I'd love to meet them in person, and especially Chuck Billy. He comes across as a really cool dude, and as a sincere human being.

[@geekgodofdeath6634]

Actually Testament has changed their sound quite a lot along the years. They've done traditional thrash, power ballads, death metal and now they're a mix of their old self and some death thrash added to the mix. It's their versatility that makes them my favourite Thrash band

"More Than Meets the Eye" Life in the world untold, question the unknown This prison captures me, my cell is all I know I thought I knew it all, stubborn in my ways My sentence has begun, my future's what I waste Next chapter of my life is filled with violent scenes I stay awake at night hiding from my dreams The voices haunting me, driving me insane Can't seem to get away, they're calling out my name I feel that I am slipping Are they out to get me My life is upside down More than meets the eye For now I am in control, choosing my own fate And now I sleep at night because I'm not afraid My demons haunting me, I chased them all away I've conquered all my fears, my destiny awaits I'm no longer slipping I'm not slipping away No one's out to get me No one will get in my way No longer upside down I've turned my life around More than meets the eye More than More than meets the eye

What an achievement! This song has got all the appeal and strength of what inspired rock and it is pure metal! Most metal does not have the fantastic positive energy like rock - and most rock is silly compared to the pure potency of metal - and somehow Testament achieves top shelf rock and metal - the best of both - in this song with so much appeal and energy that even some dull minded pop music fan that hates heavy music cannot resist the sheer miracle of how this song works. Congradulations for making the musical universe - better than it was before you came along. Never a dull moment in this song - and no matter how many tiimes I listen to it - it is like drinking a quart of espresso! Amazing. Mozart and Beethoven would give this band a thumbs up if they heard it!
