1986 Master of Puppets and Reign in Blood. 1987 The New Order, Fabulous Disaster, Among the Living and Frolic through the Park. Arguably the best 2 years ever in thrash metal.
Correction: *1986:* Master Of Puppets, (I prefer Darkness Descends over Reign In Blood) *1987:* Among The Living *1988:* The New Order, South Of Heaven, Eternal Nightmare
All hail Eric Peterson. Others in the band get rightly get the love from the fans for their technical virtuosity, but Peterson is - and has always been - the beating heart of the band. There is no Testament without the cornerstone. Thrash riff god.
i remember the day i left (art) school early to pick this up on cassette at sound warehouse on May 5th, 1988. perfect, cloudless day in texas. around 80F. popped it into the kraco deck of my raggedy-ass, gen 3 camaro and drove around long enough to listen to it twice through. i thought 'the legacy' was a super-solid thrash release, along with heathen's 'breaking the silence' in 1987, but 'the new order' cemented skolnick as a top guitarist, and testament as a top artist of the genre. 'AJFA' wouldn't come out for a few more months and 'SF, SG ... So What!' wasn't quite as thrashy. this album hit at the exact right moment for me, and the vivid memory of release day is unforgettable.
Yes! The excitement of picking up a new album are days long gone. The fundamentals of a joyful life are being replaced with tech. Something these young bloods will never understand.
Back when this came out I was such the Metallica fan. I really didn't think anyone or anything could touch them, and then this bombshell landed. I remember thinking, these songs are more complex and better crafted than anything Metallica had put out so far. I was totally obsessed with this album for a good long time. Good to hear it remastered - I hear things I never did in the original mix; especially the bass.
1988 had some of the most epic albums that year, so far so good so what, state of euphoria, and justice for all, forbidden evil, south of heaven, survive, Them, eternal nightmare, how will i laugh tomorrow.. the list just goes on and on.. I spent more money that year on cassettes then any other year i can thank of in my life..
Taking me back to high school. Just as amazing as the first time I heard it. The intro for the new order song going into the main riff is one of the intros in metal.
Dios mio que recuerdos de adolescencia, escuchando mientras estaba haciendo trabajos de secundario en la noche!!. Esta es la mejor época!!. Aguante El Metal por siempre LPM, saludos de desde Argentina!!
Obviously a labor of love painstakingly assembled by craftsmen intent on creating one of the greatest rock albums of all time...success! Wailing leads, crunching rhythms, pulsating bass, pounding drums, howling vocals! Thank you Testament!
The remaster is actually lacking in my opinion but the songs are still great. Still I prefer the First Strike Still Deadly version of Disciples Of The Watch.
Not sure I'll get too excited, the Metallica remasters were nothing but a cash grab. If these have a little extra going on like the Death remasters, I'll be straight in there. But upping the gain a smidge and running it through a modern noise filter? Nah, you're alright.
Wrong. Testament has their place but nobody can say they are better than Metallica-Nope Slayer-Nope Megadeth-Nope Anthrax-Nope Hey, not everybody can be in the top 4 🤷🏼♂
Haha, how many times I listened to this on tape cycling home from school, on the other side Metallica's 'Ride the Lightning'. Will see them next month on tour with Kreator and Anthrax 🤘
just shows that you use shit equipment and your hearing is shot i you think this compressed to hell, dr6 madness sounds great. i pity you, you obviously never experienced music the way it should sound.
I literally want Return to Serenity played at my funeral because of the solos in that song lol. Skolnick is one of the greatest lead players of all time IMO and that was what drew me to Testament in the beginning. Nobody else has that level of technicality AND the melodic chops with such a gift for unique phrasing. Normally you get technicality or melody/phrasing prowess, rarely ever both.
@Lord_of_Dread Yeah. I mean, there are many great "METAL!!!" guitarists out there, but Skolnick is one of a kind. His influences and love of other genres shine through.
out of all the Testament tracks I love, Trial By Fire is still my go-to, I once even did a bit by bit recording covering the entire track every instrument and vocals🔥🤘🏻 if I find it I’m gonna have to upload it
This is my favorite Testament album. I heard them first on Headbangers Ball when Kevin Seal was host. This remaster sounds clean! I can't wait to get a copy!

No doubt
Every song on this album meant something to me growing up. I love this album, Every second of it.
I second that! This, Persistence In Time, Peace Sells and Puppets is my childhood!
Your words felt close to my chest too buddy! Every song has a special place in my heart , especially when I was growing up.
@@troymiller319The Best of the best
Testament are great!!!
I love all of this album's songs when I was 19 and all was and is great now about this album
I borrowed this from my local library on cassette. It was the best and is still the best thing I ever borrowed.
Listened to this on cassette back in 88 or 89. Great to hear it again.
I've still got this on cassette too, but had to get the CD version because my cassette is so worn out it sounds like the underwater version 😄
1986 Master of Puppets and Reign in Blood. 1987 The New Order, Fabulous Disaster, Among the Living and Frolic through the Park. Arguably the best 2 years ever in thrash metal.
The New Order is from 1988....
frolic through the park is not good
Are you trolling? Among the living is the only one of those albums from 87
Correction: *1986:* Master Of Puppets, (I prefer Darkness Descends over Reign In Blood)
*1987:* Among The Living
*1988:* The New Order, South Of Heaven, Eternal Nightmare
Don’t forget Peace Sells and The Dark
The lead guitar sounds pretty much perfect here. Good remaster.
All hail Eric Peterson. Others in the band get rightly get the love from the fans for their technical virtuosity, but Peterson is - and has always been - the beating heart of the band. There is no Testament without the cornerstone. Thrash riff god.
EXACTLY! Well spoken!
Agree completely
Yeah but normies don't understand that, sadly
Rarely gets talked about. So underrated.
Eric Peterson is the best riff creator of our generation. His Legacy will reign. 💯🔥🎶
Pure and powerful thrash. One of the albums you must have until the end of your life! A true MASTERPIECE!!!

You're crazy, master of puppets is very great , always be
Master of puppets still destroys this
@@steve0the0end I wouldn't say it destroys this but it's definitely an incredible album as well.
@@jasonbodden8816 Metallica just has better songs that’s what it comes down to
1988 had some of the most epic albums that year, so far so good so what, state of euphoria, and justice for all, forbidden evil, south of heaven, survive, Them, eternal nightmare, how will i laugh tomorrow.. the list just goes on and on..

Man, this brings me back! For me, Alex's solos are the highlight here. Great album!
Testament's finest hour right here. Powerful.
Another great Testament album that predicts the near future.
A world of Chaos. A world of Fear. A world of Anger and Corruption.
Will they live to see another day?
🤣💪🤘
One of my favorite bands of all time since day one! And this album is etched firmly in my dense cranium 💪
love this album, thanks for the upload
Taking me back to high school. Just as amazing as the first time I heard it.
The intro for the new order song going into the main riff is one of the intros in metal.
I saw them on tour for this album as a teenager and it was my first mosh pit. Still a phenomenal album!
This was one of the first three albums I bought when I was a kid along with ride, the lightning and number of the beast special place in my heart❤
Nice! They touched up the original but didn't destroy it! The best thrash album ever! 🖤🤘🏼

Trial by fire still amazing all these years later!
Musical Death is such a gem, I LOVE that song!
Still gives me goosebumps 30+ years later
Obviously a labor of love painstakingly assembled by craftsmen intent on creating one of the greatest rock albums of all time...success!
Wailing leads, crunching rhythms, pulsating bass, pounding drums, howling vocals!
Thank you Testament!
Hell yes! My favorite Testament album.
Testament kicks ass. Such great songs and talent.
I really hope Practice What You Preach and Souls of Black gets this treatment. The sound quality of every instrument is much better and clearer.
Next years 🤘🏽
Yeah the production on Souls of Black is pretty bad it's an awesome album though.Practice what you preach is an absolute banger
@@superunknown2812 I actually like the mix on that album, but I agree it can be a lot better.
The Japanese SHM cd's from 2013 are remastered, and sound great.
Souls forger it. Much better theit last 3 or 4
They Should be part of the big four.
They are in my opinion… Slayer was death metal
Big six.
Metallica
Megadeth
Slayer
Anthrax
Exodus
Testament.
Great 8
Metallica
Megadeth
Slayer
Anthrax
Exodus
Testament
Overkill
Death Angel
I really love the words to all the songs, this group is excellent 😊
This is THE ALBUM 🤘
One Of My Top Favorite TESTAMENT Records...Splendid To See Its Now Remastered...
As someone who has been listening to Testament way too long for my own good, I love this album so much
Perfect remaster for a perfect album.
The remaster is actually lacking in my opinion but the songs are still great. Still I prefer the First Strike Still Deadly version of Disciples Of The Watch.
I'm 59 and still HEADBANGING to this group, been doing it since thier FIRST albumn🤘🤘🤘
A thrash metal masterpiece album forever 🤘⏳🤘
This is brad. I'm 55 years old this is the best band ever ❤
As I sit and laugh, This Day of Reckoning!
Oh my God, my favorite Testament album remastered?? 😵💫
Not sure I'll get too excited, the Metallica remasters were nothing but a cash grab.
If these have a little extra going on like the Death remasters, I'll be straight in there.
But upping the gain a smidge and running it through a modern noise filter?
Nah, you're alright.
It's a crap remaster though. DR6 and compressed to hell. Sounds worse than the original as do 90% of all "remasters".
@@ShadowAngel-lt8nw Sadly. I totally agree that almost every remaster is a step down from the original record
When Chuck hits the high notes, he sounds like Stephen Pearcy.
Born in 1977, listened to Testament loud on the School bus in 1993-95, so much fun then.
Me born in 1978 listening this band since 95
Born 1993, I was listening to this album on the school bus from 2009-2012!
Born in 1974 been a fan since 1989
Born 76 metal head since 81 love this album still 🤘
One of the best Thrash Metal albums EVER 🤘
Great remaster, has retained the original charm. Great Album 🙌 \m/
Love this one...after all these years. Rok!
Their really best album! Love it still today! X)
Testament is one of the BIG FOUR I don’t care what anybody says
Agree
Nay, Testament is miles ABOVE the so-called Big Four ;)
Wrong. Testament has their place but nobody can say they are better than
Metallica-Nope
Slayer-Nope
Megadeth-Nope
Anthrax-Nope
Hey, not everybody can be in the top 4 🤷🏼♂
@@javtimestwo Change the rules and have a BIG FIVE!
@@javtimestwo Testament > Anthrax any day
One of the best Testament Records ! ❤
One of the best thrash metal albums I heard during my university's years
Absolute Masterpiece,cheers from Argentina 🇦🇷
Aguanté
Still own my original vinyl press.....
What a moody,dark and heavy album.I grabbed this the day it came out.
I just saw these guys live for the first time with kreator, they rule. Skolnick is unbelievable!
Chuck,Eric,Alex ,Louie & Greg..OG lineup was by far the best!!!
Absolutely.
The best Thrash album of all time!
❤️ Love me some Testament
THE BEST ESCHATOLOGICAL LP EVER SO FAR!!!❤❤❤❤
They have been holding an utmost place in my heart ever since.
This is the First Time in History I prefer MP3 over CD, just because of the Sheer Mix, Scary but also Cool!
Haha, how many times I listened to this on tape cycling home from school, on the other side Metallica's 'Ride the Lightning'. Will see them next month on tour with Kreator and Anthrax 🤘
Ooooooo-weee! That bass sound on "Eerie Inhabitants" is awesome!!
magnific...real thrash metal. backing vocals sublime
This sounds amazing. Also, those long boxes... I might have to get me both if I can snag them!
Best of the best! 🔥
Great Album 🤘🤘
THE BASS SOUNDS FUCKING CRAZY!!! BRING ON THE PRACTICE AND SOULS REMASTERED PLEEEEEEASE!
just shows that you use shit equipment and your hearing is shot i you think this compressed to hell, dr6 madness sounds great. i pity you, you obviously never experienced music the way it should sound.
um dos melhores álbuns. Muito bom. Todas as músicas são rápidas e pesadas. O Alex é top.

That soloing in the middle of Eerie I is just so peak Skolnick. My favorite metal guitarist, perhaps. For sure the most interesting.
I literally want Return to Serenity played at my funeral because of the solos in that song lol. Skolnick is one of the greatest lead players of all time IMO and that was what drew me to Testament in the beginning. Nobody else has that level of technicality AND the melodic chops with such a gift for unique phrasing. Normally you get technicality or melody/phrasing prowess, rarely ever both.
@Lord_of_Dread Yeah. I mean, there are many great "METAL!!!" guitarists out there, but Skolnick is one of a kind. His influences and love of other genres shine through.

I love this band and this album is awesome
My favorite album 🤘
Saw trial by fire on headbangers ball. HOLY SHIT!!
This remaster sounds great!
🤘Masterpiece🤘Gem of Thrash Metal🤘
My favorite Testament album, I've heard it in one of my best buddies house at the weekend in late 1988.🤘🏻
8:46 to 9:04
I love that part
Greg Christian - Bass guitar 🎸🤘
Стив круче....
@@ВладЛеонтийno way. Greggy will be forever their classic bassist. And he kicked ass on those great albums.
I mowed lawns to buy this album back in the day. Jeez I'm old. 🤣
JAJAJJA I ASKED FOR MONEY MY MOM , TO BUY THIS RECORD AND SHE SAID NOT, SORRY MOM, BUT I STOLE YOUR MONEY TO BUY IT
out of all the Testament tracks I love, Trial By Fire is still my go-to, I once even did a bit by bit recording covering the entire track every instrument and vocals🔥🤘🏻 if I find it I’m gonna have to upload it
Some time ago I underrated this band listening to Metallica and Megadeth. Now listen and enjoy Testament.Really great music!
Супер спасибо, děkujeme 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
See you guys in Portland in September 🤘🏼🤘🏼
This is my favorite Testament album. I heard them first on Headbangers Ball when Kevin Seal was host. This remaster sounds clean! I can't wait to get a copy!
Prece of shittry any helloween album
Alguien sabe en qué afinación está el tema de trial by fire 😅😅😅
The best album of Testament 😃😃😄😄🖤🖤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Kick ass album! Love TestamenT
Masterpiece album
From Concordia Kansas love me some Testament!!!!
Megadeth’s Sudden Death definitely paid homage to and drew inspiration from the beginning of The New Order track.
thank u 👍👌🤘
The snare sound on this album has always been an issue for me, despite it being perhaps their best form the early years. This is so much better.
The New Order was a masterpiece along with Practice What you Preach! Testament always one of the best Metal band ever!
for sure the late 80s and the early 90s were the best
The guitar solos 😮😮😮😮❤❤❤
Please Release CDs.🙏🏼
Is this an official remastered release? If so, about damn time! And how about The Legacy next?
I remember being blown away by this song and video when I first saw it on Headbangers Ball. I was 12 or 13 when I first heard it.
Trial by Fire ❤
