With Skolnick's full immersion back into the band, Dark Roots finds Testament retreating even further into their classic 80's sound. And despite Testament’s commendable attempt to spice their sound with something a little different, one can’t help feeling that Dark Roots of Earth is one track short of achieving overall excellence.Clips taken from original discs may contain strong language. At almost eight minutes, it packs some interesting twists and turns, features some flat-out amazing melodic riffing and soloing and Chuck brings his A-Game. The beauty of Dark Roots of Earth lies in the fact that there is a big picture. While it’s polished and “modern” in most respects, it doesn’t trouble me like such productions usually do. Thrash is meant to do just that: thrash. They maintained their level of energy throughout the years, but also kept each of their albums fast-paced and unique and with this … From the first track to the last, Testament shows us that they are still around and relevant in the world of metal. The Californians’ ninth studio set was, and remains, their career high. Sure, I wish every thrash album was as raw as
Testament – Dark Roots of Earth Review. Thrash metal legendsâ 10th album doesnât quite match their previous highs.Often placed by their fans as the fifth member of the thrash metal "Big Four" – said bands being The Californians’ ninth studio set was, and remains, their career high. Dark Roots of Earth is finally Testament capturing the momentum. While “Man Kills Mankind” feels a bit routine, they close out well with the surprisingly traditional metal/epic metal of “Throne of Thorns” (which is more So, while the inclusion of more pedestrian songs like “Man Kills Mankind” and the bout of The production was helmed by mix-master Andy Sneap and the result is a big, powerful and loud sound. However, it feels overlong and drags toward the back-end, despite the exquisite guitar-work. I have to give Testament credit for their latest release, Dark Roots of Earth, for several reasons. All the vital components that make Testament excellent are there: Chuck Billy’s roar, Alex Skolnick’s virtuoso guitar licks, awesome thrash metal motifs. All this publication's reviews
Despite Testament's commendable attempt to spice their sound with something a little different, one can't help feeling that Dark Roots of Earth is one track short of achieving overall excellence. Now I can’t be sure how this will reflect commercially, but in terms of quality, this is top notch material again. And Testament is not a lollop-metal band.Ultimately, the band has not succeeded in creating an album on a par with The Formation of Damnation; but that doesn’t mean Dark Roots of Earth is a failure, not by a long shot. This is possibly the best thrash metal release of 2012. Cold Embrace lollops. The title track here broods before speeding up and launching itself at the listener; while True American Hate is a furious black metal-orientated effort.But after the brilliant A Day in the Death comes the unexpected: an eight-minute soft-rock ballad. Following it up was always going to be difficult – but Dark Roots of Earth begins promisingly, with the opening brace of quintessential Testament thrashers Rise Up and Native Blood giving a good feeling from the off.These tracks immediately prove that The Formation of Damnation – a comeback affair, released nine years after their previous studio album – wasn’t a one-off in terms of impact. The boys try a ballad for the first time in a long time with “Cold Embrace” and it’s a lengthy one. The biggest reason being that they have kept up their reputation, unlike other various bands that were utter disappointments on their "comeback albums" or otherwise sell-out albums. It could be argued that Cold Embrace adds balance and variety to this album; but it could just as easily be claimed that the track unnecessarily breaks up what is otherwise a perfectly good thrash record.
Just not in the same overwhelmingly good quantity as in the past.Sometimes more of the same is all that we need.
