225. Testament / Demonic. 1997. 3/5.

The boys went pretty hard on this release, looking to emulate what they had produced beforehand, and also looking for new horizons in front of them.

Does it really work though? I mean, I like the album, don't get me wrong, and there is some good stuff on here. But I wonder whether they really thought through the writing process. Most of the songs on here exhibit the same characteristics, and while that isn't always a bad thing, with Testament's sound, it can get a little repetitive.

Aside from that, Demonic is another solid album. Best for me include The Burning Times, Together As One, Hatreds Rise and Murky Waters.

Rating : More preaching from the Testament. 3/5.
