TESTAMENT - Over The Wall (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

[@ClarenceDoskocil]

I've been a "Metal" fan since I was a little kid listening to my brother's Deep Purple albums back in the early 1970s. There is just something about "thrash" from about 1984 - 1990 that cannot be replicated. One of the greatest eras in music ever.

[@DanZhukovin]

+Clarence Doskocil I am so glad you put those quotes, because Deep Purple was actually not meta, even though some writers have said thatl. For music to be metal, it needs to meet at least one three requirements: 1. There must be palm muting, and or soloing in the guitar portion, if that exists. 2. It must be something you can headbang to. 3. The drums must emulate a violent altercation of some sorts, so double bass rolls are metal, but the drummer for the eagles does not sound metal. Nor does "Smoke On The Water" which people naively say is the first metal song. Sabbath was writing the first metal. EDIT: The first metal song is "Helter Skelter" by The Beatles. Black Sabbath is just some bullshit that ignoramuses write in history books about metal.

[@izzy040289]

+Dan Zhukov And is that statute is it?

[@DanZhukovin]

Iain Bell I would say so, if you keep the use of the word "metal" exact enough. All metal music is distinct for those reasons, so one can define it in that way.

[@GretzkySanders]

I totally agree man!! I got into Testament around 1988 or so....shortly after Metallica, Slayer, Exodus, Megadeth and Anthrax. Testament was first among a second set of amazing bands i got into in the late 80's ...Overkill, Kreator, Forbidden, Death Angel, Metal Church and Sepultura. I often wondered if The Legacy was the best album of all the bands mentioned, but that is just too damn hard to say with certainty. ".....Holding the quest for freeeeeDOM.....that BECKONS MEEEEEEE!!"

[@JuanPablo-rf4vo]

Hard to get any thrashier after Rust in Peace!!!

[@jaromeunrooski6963]

This is, in my opinion, is the purest example of the bay area thrash sound out there!

[@chrysteenyaughn439]

I agree that Testament does Bay Area thrash great justice. I think Death Angel does it better, but Testament follows right behind and that's saying a LOT. For me, thrash metal is represented by Death Angel, Testament and Exodus. The Bay Area kills it. One of my favorite thrash songs of all time is "The Preacher".

[@fernandopenalva2680]

But Testament only has four good albums. Like all those thrash bands of the 80's, in the 90's and onwards they sold out. Now Testament may play thrash, but's too shitty, modern and metalcored for my taste. They fucking suck now.

I think OverKill is even more underrated/overlooked/ignored. Testament is the most famous thrash band outside of the big 4, yet Overkill is one of the oldest and most consistent bands in thrash and get almost no recognition.

I don't understand how people call Testament a 'Metallica clone'. They sound completely different and are waayy more technical than metallica. (Although metallicas riffs are simple, they still kick serious ass and require a lot of endurance)

[@Moth-ManRemasters]

Dr. Psychedelic and Metallica sucked throughout the 90s and 2000s whereas Testament were consistent

Because of "Practice" - "Ritual"
