Testament- The Haunting (1987)

The band that never quite made it. Testament's first three albums were killer. Full of chunky riffs and surprisingly at ease with melodic sections too. I was recently utterly distraught to watch them playing 'Burnt Offerings' recently at Wacken and Chuck (vocalist) was grunting and screaming and generally over-emphasising the vocal track as if he wants to appear hip and modern and more in line with what the kids want these days. Fuck that. Just play it like it's supposed to be played.

BTW. Chuck needs to lose weight
