Today I am looking at the Dark Roots of Earth, the new album by the legendary thrash metal band Testament. While Testament is not included in the same breath as Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax, they most definitely are just as important in terms of their influence in the genre. Unfortunately, their sales are quite on par with those other bands, so they likely will never achieve the same recognition. This is too bad because Testament is amazing!
Dark Roots of Earth is Testament's tenth studio album, and one of their best efforts in years. This album combines intricate musical arrangements, wonderfully evil lyrics, and lots of thrashy goodness. This is vintage thrash metal at its best! Quite frankly, it kicks ass from the beginning track until the end. I simply loved the songs True American Hate and Dark Roots of Earth. I give this album a solid A+.
For your listening pleasure, I have included the two tracks that I enjoyed the most.
As always, thank you for reading!
