Testament--Low (1994)
Rating--9.0
Low--RealAudio All I Could Bleed--RealAudio
A truly brutal heavy metal album! Why? Exit Alex Skolnick, enter James Murphy. The result has nothing to do
with Skolnick's ability, but rather with his style. What we get is an album that has a heavier, more E-chord and bass-driven
sound. Again, brutal. Another aspect that has changed a bit in the band's sound is the brief cameo of "the growl". Vocalist Chuck
Billy would later go to this full time (unfortunately), but on this disc it is used sparingly.
Ok, you ask, but after all these changes
does it still sound like Testament? Answer: Absolutely! The sound is still Testament, only perhaps a little better...
Punishing highlights abound: "Legions (In Hiding)," "Hail Mary," "P.C.," "All I Could Bleed," and the title song.
