Testament...

[FELINEGUITARS]

Saw  them in 1988 at the Astoria - on the New Order tour
They were ok - not my cuppa tea at the time

Testament are great. Just great.

With the release of First Strike Still Deadly a few years ago, the earlier recordings of the same songs sound a bit weedy, mind.

^ +1

but, that style of production was what they all went for back in the day - pity.

would be cool to hear some of the classic thrash albums remixed with more balls to them, along the lines of what Iggy did with Rawa Power (oh yeah!!!)  :D

That would be good, yeah.

I don't listen to loads of thrash anymore, but I do go on binges and listen to Possessed and Nuclear Assault and Cerebral Fix all day now and again.

I do still like Nuclear Assault - they were never that big, but I always liked their stuff as it sounded more hardcore-punk in its roots than most stuff of that era (that was called thrash).

Too hardcore for me - I quite liked Flotsam and Jetsam, Agent Steel, Overkill as well as the "Big 4" (not so much Slayer).  But I was still listening to my hair metal and AOR/wimphem bands.  Strange time, the '80s.  :lol:
