draganov certainly aiming for a Lombardo approach, but the fills have portnoy's nuances all over them, many are triplet based fills rather than straight 16ths
What I was saying is that I would have *never* guessed that this was Portnoy, if I didn't already knew. :) If anything, I would say that this is Lombardo, or maybe Carlos Cruz, due to the several 'blast beats' here and there, or even Tom Hunting due to the bass drum work. Granted, I am not a drummer, so I don't have the ear for nuances and might be missing something :)
Imagine chunks of your favorite bands melted together into one glorious entity that rips your face off and kicks ass like never before. Travel back in time to something ahead of the present. It's hard to describe something this AWESOME! Please bring the whole crew to North Carolina so I can experience personally...directly.
So I just found out that if Gene thinks Testament takes too much time, then Portnoy would actually be a great fit! Sounds kind of absurd itself, but the thought just popped in my head after I heard this song. Cool one, though. Could be a Testament song. Cool to hear Portnoy play thrashy, but a bit weird to hear his tone this way, since I'm used to him in DT!
Problem is Portnoy is too much of a wanderer; he doesn't seem to want to stay in any band...or tour. He is probably better off as journeyman studio drummer. I love Testament and Dream Theater (and have seen both play live several times), so I'm not trashing anyone. But, I don't want Portnoy to join Testament, record one album, then move on.
Definitely a Testament song. I could easily see this on the new album. You know Skolnick wrote this one. Shame it is on here and not an actual Testament album. Kick ass tune.
HELLO all you haters talking shit about how its sounds like old metal==you do realize and notice that every metal song that has cum out in past 10-15 years sounds like metallica in 1 way or another, because evry beat/note has been done, just like cars, movies, and soforth you get my point!!!! THIS SONG FUKN ROCKS!!
Mike's drumming is out of this world \m/
y donde dejas a Charlie Benante, tambien es de otro mundo o en otras palabras Universo /,,/
HOLY MOLY :O
Chuck Billy, Alex Skolnick, David Ellefson, Mike Portnoy, Phil Demmel & Andreas Kisser in ONE freakin SONG \m/ \m/
I'll take any CD with David Ellefson and Chuck Billy in it!
Risk and Super Collider?
Hey, lets not go that far. Although I will take Risk over Super Collider any day of the week. What a piece of shit that was.
You can feel the Testament influence in this song. LOVE IT!
lol, the singer and guitar player are from Testament.
IM aware of that. I was just making a point.
Damn I hear you on that. Song is badass...Testament always been my favorite.
TESTAMENT one of the top 10 metal bands ever.......
No doubt 🤘
I will. Agree with that
I just love that you can tell it's Portnoy behind the kit. Those fills are undeniably his
justin smith Not really. That are Lombardo fills, Mike is obviously aiming for Dave's style here.
I can see that

draganov I can definitely feel that. This song sounds like I'd fit perfectly in "The Gathering"
Chuck Billy has the sickest vocals!!! *METAL ALLEGIANCE* Kicks Ass!!! 🤘😈🤘
You can definitely hear Skolnicks footprint
+Concrete_Leper Skolnicks is red hot with this band

Best album of 2015
Chuck Billy is the man.
Skolnick = GOD !
Chuck still has every bit as much power as he ever has. All time great!!
Alex showing his crazy skillz. Amazing solos. Dayum!
Ultra amazing! I love this song! Chuck Billy sounds absolutely incredible. Incredible guitar solo by Alex Skolnick!
Can't wait to hear what Gary Holt brings to the album!!!
Hunter Vex He is going to rip! Anything he touches always comes out great.
Hugely underrated, perfectly well put together.
Killer all around!
They should have gotten AK from Flotsam And Jetsam on a song
Red Fly They should record a song with AK on vocals and Jason Newsted on bass.
This is what keeps my heart beating
This song you can hear 80% of Testament and 20% of Megadeth... \m/ yeah
And a bit of fking slayerrr
Like metallica
"YOU EVIL BITCH JUST SET ME FREE" \m/
