We're reaching the end of "what's your favourite song on.." polls. I deliberately omitted the live albums and FSSD to be able to start a summary poll for our favourite Testament song ever- that will come later (once there are at least 50 votes cast on each of the polls, let's say)
Now it's time for "The Gathering". This record's full of great tracks (I love "3 Days In Darkness", "True Believer", "Sewn Shut Eyes"), but 3 songs really stand out among all these memorable tunes; and these are: "DNR", "Riding The Snake" and "Down For Life" for me. I voted for the first track. It's absolutely a killer- great tempo, phenomenal vocals, fabulous drumming, great expression and harmonization with the lyrics (which themselves are very well-written - undoubtedly personal, yet universal) and that slower part when Chuck sings "wings of sadness will hold my prayers..." throws me on the floor every single time I listen to it. A perfect modern Thrash song in my opinion.
