│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This is where Testament got fed up and went ║ │
│║ death metal, supposedly. Maybe this is what ║ │
│║ death metal sounds like to Testament fans. To me ║ │
│║ (a death metal fan) it sounds pretty much like ║ │
│║ Testament, only slowed down, tuned down, and ║ │
│║ with less melody. And that's what it is. There's ║ │
│║ also much more vocal melody than you'd hear from ║ │
│║ almost any death metal album, but it's delivered ║ │
│║ in a very gruff voice, without much range, ║ │
│║ although the majority is straight cookie monster ║ │
│║ singing. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ It also tends to be more rhythmic and groovy, ║ │
│║ which may deter thrashers on principle alone. ║ │
│║ The rhythms are too involved for it to come ║ │
│║ across like nu-metal; it might be more accurate ║ │
│║ to call it ΓÇ£churningΓÇ¥ than ΓÇ£groovy.ΓÇ¥ ║ │
│║ Another sticking point is that there is very ║ │
│║ little soloing, which doesn't seem very ║ │
│║ remarkable or objectionable to me, but disciples ║ │
│║ of the old-school metal sound demand solos or ║ │
│║ else a written apology. I don't miss it and ║ │
│║ James Murphy isn't a favorite of mine anyhow. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The songs tend start off in the album's typical ║ │
│║ groove/churn mode, then go into a big breakdown, ║ │
│║ then come back to the main idea. Opening track ║ │
│║ ΓÇ£Demonic RefusalΓÇ¥ does it best, with a ║ │
│║ totally monstrous breakdown that makes me think ║ │
│║ of Metallica's ΓÇ£OneΓÇ¥ right before the ending ║ │
│║ solo kicks off. ΓÇ£Murky WatersΓÇ¥ does ║ │
│║ variation of the formula, starting off with a ║ │
│║ faster, thrashier riff and then going into a ║ │
│║ slow-motion watery breakdown. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This is my favorite Testament album, although ║ │
│║ that is admittedly much more an indication of my ║ │
│║ quirks as a listener than its relationship with ║ │
│║ the rest of their catalog. It's hard to say if ║ │
│║ this album would be better or worse known if it ║ │
│║ was put out by a different band that wasn't ║ │
│║ expected to sound a certain way. Nor recommended ║ │
│║ either for Testament fans or death metal fans, ║ │
│║ but still, recommended. ║ │
