Nice review, Judas Priest just worthy of my respect but nothing more, as I already told you, in general the little boys who scream while squeezing their balls have never impressed me much, however it is instrumentally a great album and obviously hats off to what they have done for metal.

Guys, I'm in for the Slayer concert, I doubt it will sell out, come on, that has never happened for a metal show, just schedule them a couple of weeks earlier. The best part is that Damageplan will be there too!! If we want to meet up, you’ll recognize me because I’ll be the one with the metal shirt and long hair, heheheheheheheheheheh.

I almost forgot, you can also hear their "Dutchness" in the visionary interludes of the latest album heheheheheheheheheheh

Really great review. I completely agree with your repetitive initial definition, even though Pestilence have shown excellent evolutionary capabilities since their first Consuming Impulse, very raw and reminiscent of Obituary, albeit audibly more "cultured," to the excellent technical death "Testimony of the Ancients," which is more convoluted and progressive as well as structurally complex and very original. With this work, they have made a truly incredible leap; the only thing they have maintained is the characteristic dark and "obsessive" atmosphere of early thrash-death, elevating it to the nth degree, flaunting this "musical feeling" especially through the production, the sounds, these excessively "boxed-in" guitars, this voice that sounds like a man placed on pause at the brink of death for the entire half-hour of the album. All of this, combined with a mastery of the progressive that has nothing to envy from contemporary Atheist, along with their penchant for "strange" intros, surely solidified in the previous Testimony, rich in what could be mistaken for keyboards and pads, but which is, in reality, entirely the result of mastering the possibilities offered by the digitalization of guitar sound, which can only be an additional note of merit.

But no, I'm going to Amsterdam because it's a beautiful city. I'll spend the days biking with tulips in the basket... ... ... ... ... (alarm sound) ... ... ... (airplane engines) ... ... ... BOOOM BOOOMM BLAM SBADABLAM, BOOM.

Damn, I didn't remember that, sorry.

Anonymous is better off staying anonymous, Mustaine, apart from Four Horsemen, has written a little riff here and there that he’s held onto and, like a big baby, returned it in installments throughout his discography. Moreover, in This was my life he FUCKED the middle riff of Phantom Lord, written by CLIFF. Yes, Jigoro darling, don’t doubt it.

Fuffo, I must say these things, Hetfield is a big character, Diokka is (was) THE THRASH METAL GUY, and he's definitely not a piece of shit, childish, Republican, and a heroin addict like Mustaine. Nice album, and not too far from the previous one.

Yes, darling, as soon as I get back from Amsterdam, we'll see each other again.

Great album, nice review, although the tracklist one by one is a bit too heavy; maybe you could have dropped a few and not forced them to follow the tracklist order (just a friendly suggestion). Anyway, very valid, welcome.
