Anihilation of the Apocalyptic City November 26, 2008
Crafted by true masters of METAL. This album showcases the songwriting capabilites of Testaments classic lineup with a seasoned outlook of true thrash veterans. Although the cd sounds crisp I highly recommend the double vinyl release. It definitely has more punch than the cd, and better instrument seperation in the stereo field. I had to buy two copies so that I could archive one of them. I will wear them out.
P.S. Welcome back Paul Bostaph, Solid as always.
More encouraging than recent Metallica November 3, 2008

Testament have reunited the traditional line-up and crafted a surprisingly catchy, very heavy & aggressive new CD that compares very favourably to THE NEW ORDER & LEGACY. Unlike notable contemporaries, they've managed to do it with good production, too. If you enjoy bay-area thrash with attitude, you can't go wrong with this disc. Well worth a listen.

I've been listening to Testament since the Legacy was released back when I was in High School. After all these years it's great to still have one of the finest thrash bands around...
With bands like Metallica who were pioneers in the thrash seen back when Testament formed selling out today with commercialized garbage it's a breath of fresh air to hear a great band sticking to its roots. This album blows away Death Magnetic in every category. "THE FORMATION OF DAMNATION" is Testaments best work to date and is easily the best thrash album realeased this year.
