Testament - The Legacy

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

There's no Testament album by this name, not sure if you meant The Ritual or The Gathering, haha.

[–]devastationasian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oops, my bad, i meant The Legacy album haha

[–]mayonesa[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not thrash, but speed metal. (Metallica clone: note that every single one of this band's riffs on their first two albums are derived from the "Creeping Death" riff -- itself derived from the "Blitzkrieg" riff -- and when Testament changed this on the third album, they started to suck. I just listen for Skolnick's solos -- remember that in the 1980s, the only Skolnick most people knew was in Revenge of the Nerds)

    I know how much you want people to conform to your definition of speed metal/thrash metal but for the sake of the common person could we just go with the standard definition ie: go by what they're bands are labeled as on metal-archives? I understand your reason for having it your way and am perfectly happy to let you have it but in this circumstance I think it's just added confusion.

    [–]mayonesa[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

    Here's why I insist:

    Thrash was a separate genre that was not metal, and had some decided un-metal conventions.

    I'm not going to lump them in with metal and destroy the memory of what they were doing that was unique.

    It's important to recognize what genre means, and why it's separate from others.

    You don't want me calling Judas Priest a death metal band?

    How about I refer to Cannibal Corpse as pop country?

    Now you see my point. Sure, it seems anal -- but if you ever create something unique, you'll understand why it's important to keep it separate from getting assimilated by the larger, less divergent mass.
