Next Testament CD - Page 6

Caveman Ninja · September 23rd, 2010, 07:10 AM

I wouldn't call the new Flots album a thrash record at all. There's hardly any actual thrash on it. A decent metal record, no doubt, and the vocals are great (very Geoff Tate in places) but the actual music is rather a disappointment for me.

redfly · September 23rd, 2010, 03:05 PM

It could be faster and I wouldn't say brutal.But it's still one of the best albums I've bought in 10 years.

redfly · September 23rd, 2010, 03:13 PM

Funny that you say that about Geoff Tate.I think that the vocals over the acoustic part in the title track sounded a lot like Queensryche

redfly · September 24th, 2010, 02:38 PM

Actually I think there is a good deal of thrash on here.flotsam just has a different style than most bands.Honestly I was hoping for more of a "No Place For Disgrace" style But hey not everyone can be Testament!!

The only flotsam albums that were really thrash were "No Place" and "Doomsday." I don't really consider "When The Storm Comes Down" to be thrash. That's not taking anything away from their heaviness and there are some songs that are thrash, but not the whole album.

I guess I'm the only one thinking Flotsome is quite lame LoL...and the new one is far from thrash....
Lets focus on the new Testament album!

redfly · September 25th, 2010, 10:43 PM

It's not full on thrash no.But I still think it's fast enough to qualify.And yes let's get some Testament already.
I agree that the first 2 were the only full on thrash all the way through and personally I like brutality and speed the most.But I also appreciate a band
Like Flotsam and Jetsam who is very genuinely their own band and goes a little beyond the confines and creates other moods without selling out and sounding to gay.AK is a real deal vocalist and that is going to define the heaviness somewhat.But like I said not everyone can be down right devastating like Testament.But I'm glad there is a Flotsam and Jetsam.

How about a studio update from Testament?! they must have some stuff done by now.

ms. anthrope · October 12th, 2010, 04:49 AM

They are still writing I believe. I'll check in with Eric Peterson and get the latest... remind me, redfly ;-).

redfly · October 12th, 2010, 03:16 PM

That would be awesome!!!

kleo706 · October 12th, 2010, 07:17 PM

Hey Ms. when you check in with them, could you see if they've got any good cookie recipes?

redfly · October 13th, 2010, 04:12 PM

kleo706 · October 18th, 2010, 07:18 PM

kayleigh copeland · October 21st, 2010, 05:44 PM

Cookies of death haha ace,do they make cookies to make you into a guitar virtuoso id well by some :-D

ms. anthrope · October 22nd, 2010, 09:40 PM

redfly · October 23rd, 2010, 07:50 PM

What the hell are they eating?..pretty funny

redfly · October 27th, 2010, 03:23 PM

When Eric or someone in the band goes to England for something like that who pays for it?Is it the record company or do they?

High Priest Of Evil · October 27th, 2010, 04:18 PM

I see they're working hard on the new record
