Remasters of metal albums are a tricky thing. Sometimes remastering can breathe new life into a classic album that happens to have some pisspoor production. Other times the original mixes (warts & all) are so beloved and engrained in your psyche that any deviations are utterly alien and verboten.<\/em> Where do these remasters fit in?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Testament<\/a> and their first two albums are very near and dear to my heart. I first heard the song “Disciples of the Watch<\/em>” by way of the tape-trading scene I was heavily into back in the late 80s. Yes, it’s a little silly to think that as a Bay Area metal guy that my first introduction to this Bay Area Thrash Metal band was by way of a sketchy C90 Maxell cassette tape from some dude in Oslo, Norway, but that’s just how things were long before The Internetz lol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
