Testament

The 10th studio album from Testament -- the first for the original lineup in 15 years -- will make your head explode. Formation of Damnation is an aggressive, timeless thrash masterpiece. With the seminal spirit of Testament intact in every killer guitar lead, speed-crazed chug and gravelly vocal transmission, the lyrics tackle current events, politics and personal tragedies on crushing tracks like "The Evil Has Landed" and "Henchmen Ride."
