024: Album Dive: Testament The New Order

There are some albums in the annals of Thrash metal history that are considered “art”: timeless, heavy, classic and almost perfect. Testament released one of those pieces of art and it is known as “The New Order”; one of THE finest thrash releases of one of THE finest years of thrash: 1988!!!

JOIN US as we get into the “eerie” space in thrash that Testament inhabits with The New Order. We’ll go deep down into the mystical shamanistical rabbit hole that gave us (and again, we really can’t stress this enough) one of THE finest moments of thrash metal EVER!!
