Great review, but who knows if I'll have the time to find this Afghan work.

Well done, I would have seen this review among those chosen by the Editors. Congratulations!

Igor Cavalera, in my opinion, but also according to Vinnie Paul, is a great drummer, just look at the song "Beneath The Remains"; however, he’s not my favorite. If I had to choose, I’d go with Lombardo, maybe because I find him likable, but also for how he plays the double kick. I’ve said that the drummer is very important, but not indispensable, and Testament are a testament to that. For example, Hoglan is very technical, but I don’t like him on "Demonic." Clemente could have played, and the result wouldn’t have changed: keep in mind that I’m not a musician, so my words can be quite general.

The Testament are very good, but they could have done even more. In Thrash, the drummer is very important: look at Slayer, who tried Scaglione and then kicked him out because he couldn't play double bass like Dave. Sholnick will always have to contend with Jeff Waters, who produces, writes, and sings, and with Vetterli. However, I understand what you mean if we extend it all the way to 1990. And just listen to "Beginning Of The End" to understand who Sholnick is. Anyway, I see you know quite a bit about Thrash, which makes me happy. Also, your nickname is interesting, for someone like me who is passionate about Dante (XI Seps if you want). Bye!

The review is brief, but I would have preferred a few more words about the tracks, at least your impressions. @Lethe in 1985 "Spreading The Disease" was a big hit, who played double bass like Charlie? Maybe only Lombardo on "Hell Awaits," but then others came along, Kerry King has always said they threw away what they had built, but I respect your opinion, I don’t think I’m the holder of certainties, far from it. Just to be clear, I was talking about 1985; if you then mention Death Angel: fantastic! On the debut of "The Ultra-Violence," Andy Galeon was only 14 years old. Testament? They’re at a lower level: Louie Clemente, a disaster. In 1985, Megadeth was just starting out, and Mustaine had squandered the budget to buy drugs. There remain Metallica, Slayer, and Exodus (in 1985). We could discuss this for hours, but I’m happy when I hear opinions different from mine. Hi everyone!

Here I am again, still with pleasure. I have almost all the Judas Priest albums on vinyl and I've listened to "Unleashed..." a lot, as it hardens all the classics from the '70s and hands them back to the Japanese full of shine. There are four extra songs for the Land of the Rising Sun, among which I remember "Starbreaker" and "Rock Forever," but what matters is that here they seem to decide what to do for the future. And indeed, decisions are being made: Tom Allom and Dave Holland. The former creates the "right" sound and the latter the appropriate rhythm for the '80s, so this "Unleashed..." is infinitely superior to the short "Kaizoku..." (I don't remember the title well) by Accept, released years later. Well done, ocram, very well done, I'm very happy that it was you who took care of this album, I agree with everything you said. Bye!

Wow, what a great review, I would say it's of high quality. This description makes you want to buy it, well done.

Well, at least Fidia, you had the patience to read my review and rate it very well. I sincerely thank you. Goodbye!

So guys, I am a fan of the great Ventor, who is one of the few drummers to move from the "offbeat" of the first two albums to the delicacies of double bass in "Extreme..." and "Coma...". I would have also seen him fit in place of Lombardo in Slayer: one of the few who can replicate Dave. Listen to "Toxic Trace" and "One Of Us". Regarding "Coma...", it's clear that Randy Burns did an excellent job, better than "Extreme..." (but that's a personal interpretation). I believe that ocram, Bartleboom, Aniel, and many others more skilled than me can review "Terrible Certainty". I'm sorry, but I don't feel up to it, even though the topic is enticing: I would risk ruining everything and honestly, I would like to see a nice review of this album. Hi everyone!

I'm a fan of "Terrible Certainty," but I’ve listened to this album a lot and Blackfire is much better than Tritze. Even in the second solo of the title track, there’s a vague reference to Rossini's "Gazza Ladra," ahem... is it just my impression? Great review, very much shareable and well written. Hi!
