Our Take
Our Take
TESTAMENT's "First Strike Still Deadly" is like finding that pair of old, crusty trainers at the back of your wardrobe - you know they're past their prime, but there's still something comforting about slipping them on once again.
This album sees the thrash metal legends revisiting and re-recording some of their classic early tracks, bringing a modern twist to timeless headbangers like "Alone in the Dark" and "Into the Pit".
The result is a mixed bag - on one hand, it's great to hear these songs given a fresh coat of paint, with beefed-up production and tighter performances. On the other hand, there's a sense of nostalgia that can't quite be replicated, no matter how hard they try.
While die-hard fans will no doubt appreciate the effort, newcomers might find themselves yearning for the raw energy of the original recordings. It's like watching your favourite band play at a half-empty local pub instead of a sold-out arena - still fun, but missing that spark of excitement.
Overall, "First Strike Still Deadly" is a fun trip down memory lane for TESTAMENT fans, but may leave others feeling a little underwhelmed. So dust off those old band t-shirts and crank up the volume - this one's for the metalheads who can't get enough of the classics. Rock on, brothers and sisters.

About the artist
Testament
Ah, TESTAMENT. The thrash metal pioneers who have been headbanging their way through the scene since the 1980s. With their blistering riffs, thunderous drumming, and guttural vocals, they have cemented themselves as one of the most badass bands in the business. Fronted by the legendary Chuck Billy, TESTAMENT has been churning out anthems that make you want to bang your head until your neck hurts. Their live shows are a sight to behold, with the energy of a freight train and the intensity of a hurricane. Trust me, you won't leave a TESTAMENT gig without being thoroughly rocked to your core. But don't let their hard-hitting sound fool you - these guys have a sense of humour too. Whether it's their witty lyrics or their cheeky on-stage banter, TESTAMENT knows how to have a good time. And let's not forget their iconic album covers, which range from the brutal to the bizarre. So if you're looking for a band that will make you want to mosh like there's no tomorrow, look no further than TESTAMENT. They may be metal legends, but they're also a bunch of fun-loving rockers who know how to put on a show. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
