TESTAMENT

2nd album from 1988 by American TESTAMENT, widely regarded as one of the greatest Thrash Metal albums ever recorded. With "The New Order", the band made a spectacular leap forward from its debut, refining its formula through more sophisticated songwriting, a stronger production and exceptional performances that firmly established it among the elite of the Bay Area Thrash scene.

The combination of Alex Skolnick and Eric Peterson's razor-sharp guitar work, Chuck Billy's unmistakable vocals and a crushing rhythm section resulted in an album overflowing with power, speed and personality. Thanks to its remarkable balance of aggression, technical ability and melody, "The New Order" remains one of the essential landmarks of Thrash Metal and one of the most influential releases of the late 1980s.
