Often in life you have to “strike while the iron is hot” because more often than not, the “First Strike Is Deadly” and not striking may result in lost opportunity and success. And while TESTAMENT were riding the wave of success from their first three albums and the subsequent tours that followed, their fourth album within three and a half years, SOULS OF BLACK, might have been a step too far.

Granted, the October 9, 1990 release of SOULS OF BLACK was a prerequisite for the band’s inclusion on the European leg of the Clash of the Titans tour, and while it’s chock full of riffs, incredible guitar solos, and “eerie harmonies” that are all essential elements of the TESTAMENT sound, overall “the chugs are lacking”, and understandably so, because after 3 albums and 3 tours in less than 3 years’ time, the boys from Berkeley could have used a much-needed break before going back into the studio after such an intensive writing, recording, and touring cycle, back to back to back.

It’s time to indulge in some “debaucracy” as we accidentally included the latest episode of “The Triangle” within this episode (“because everybody’s offended by everything now”). Find out what everybody’s “I can’t get to the radio fast enough to turn it off” song is, discover why “Velma was a little bit hotter than Daphne” (and remember that “you can get a lot for $100”), contact “the help desk of medicine” for some “apple wrapped bacon”, and prepare to understand which song is “the one I’m gonna bang my chick to” when you JOIN US as we dive into the darkness of TESTAMENT’s fourth offering, SOULS OF BLACK.
