Saw the drummer references, Hunting and Bostaph equal Lombardo and all three are better than Lars. Lars is just Good 'nuff for government work to coin a phrase.
My favorite Testament album. Fucking bad-ass. You can really detect Lombardo's style on this album. He is nothing short of amazing. This entire album jammed from beginning to end.
@MrEviL666xxx relax buddy, I was just entertaining myself. As a matter if fact I consider this track as one of the best throughout Testament's records. It's so thick, so intense. I just like it and can't help headbanging every time I hear it : )
@donSparda well funny you should mention that, dave offered his services to testament when their drummer left, i think. chuck billy turned round and said shit!!!! lombardo wants to do an album with us!? he played on the entire album called 'the gathering'. Later i think chris kontos former Machine Head drummer joined them for a bit too. so in short yes, it is Dave Lombardo on drums.
@USMCGunny1955 Hey I want to add that Lombardo was on this tour with Testament. They played the Buffalo Rose In Golden Colorado on this tour and Lombardo played that show and I met him afterwards. He likes to keep to himself and he didnt say much. I did hang with Chuck and James Murphy but thats about all I can say about that.
@DEFINEMETAL , don´t be like that , we all know that this is a great bandbbut don´t remove anthrax from the big four , because they also are good. sorry for my fucking bad english , I am chilean.
Testament isn't going in the Big Four. THE BIG FOUR IS WHO THEY ARE CAUSE THEY ARE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL THRASH BANDS. Testament unfortunately wasn't as successful as Anthrax, Slayer, Metallica, and Megadeth
@ZurkonTheDestroyer Testament at one point was at the same level as Metallica but Testament made some bad decisions and ended up at the bottom for a while
@Cupajoe69 Do you mean that the new Metallica can go to hell or do you mean Metallica overall? Because no matter how bad shit they did in the mid 90's, you can't deny that everything before the Black Album wasn't some of the most classic Thrash we will ever hear.
@YetAnotherReviewer Yeah! i agree that master of puppets is the best fucking album in the world, but metallica went the shittier way so.. i dont care:)
Fuck me I didn't know Lombardo was on this!! I hadn't heard this song for a long time, though I remember first hearing this on a Metal Hammer cd aeons ago. Crackin' tune.
fellow brothers and metal militia we need to attack this video-eminem love the way you lie- no talent what so ever show them what true music is METAL 4 LIFE
Lombardo does a really god job for this album, funny though how he Slayer and Testament trade off drummers for a few albums. Soon after this album Lombardo actually joined a band with Millie Petroza from Kreator, and Chuck Schuldiner from Death in a band called Voodoo Cult. Unfortunately, they did not do a very good 2 albums for that band, even considering the members it had.
@popasmurf5467 not really, tbh they even had a song on guitar hero. they're a brilliant band nonetheless but there more underated bands like annihilator for example.
Hi ! I'm not really a trash metal fan ! But Testament is not like the others bands. And I appreciate especially this song. I love the lyrics. All the songs of this album are greats ! Thanks !
Not really THE Testament line-up, but something bound to be good just had to come out of a Testament including James Murphy, Dave Lombardo and Steve DiGiorgio. Jesus christ. Thrash-metal all-stars right there. Too bad DiGiorgios bass aint put more upfront in the mix. But they fill out the guitars heaviness nevertheless.
This might be the best mosh pit song ever.

I remember this band from the 80s. Although this album came much later. I remember this album specifically for 2 reasons.
1) It was their hardest ever album at the time (may still be).
2) It has Dave Lombardo from Slayer on drums on this album. Although I don't think he toured with Testament for this album tour.
