Testament - Brotherhood of the Snake (2016)^{Release ID: 1512}

Finally, the band have found balance between groove, speed, aggression and melody. No more blast beat death metal, no more plodding groove metal. Here we find the band essentially picking up where Souls Of Black left off. While that album was a rush job, this one took years to complete and thankfully, the material benefits from that. While the making of this album may have been a pain (according to Chuck Billy) in the ass, one listen to this fantastic return to form and one could never tell. The best thing this band has done in decades. A compulsory purchase.
