This isn't to say that Testament didn't release any decent moshing material, it's just that none of it is particularly memorable or otherwise outstanding.
I MUCH preferred Testament to Death Angel, Flotsam and Jetsam and the other "lower-grade" bands - they were more a kind of halfway house, like Dark Angel or Kreator - who were both somewhat better than Testament, but not really up with the big boys, like Tankard, Sacred Reich, Helloween, Death or Anthrax...
Anthrax shouldn't really be included in the "Big 4" in my humble opinion, as their first album sucked, and it was only "Spreading The Disease" and "Among The Living" which were any good. Of course, Anthrax were Metallica's support act on the MoP tour in 1986, and it couldn't have been the other way around, even given that Jaymez broke his arm. |
I did name check Dog Faced Gods but you are quite right, it is tough to remember many more of their tunes. Maybe Curse of the Legion of Death from the 1st album would also stand up to scrutiny.
