Apocalyptic City, Burnt Offerings, Fall of Sipledome, The New Order, The Formation of Damnation, Stronghold.. and that's just some of better thrash songs from Testament. Dead Embryonic Cells, Desperate Cry, Slaves of Pain, T.D.S. (Take it as you will), Bodies on Bodies, Kill on Command, Blackened, Damage Inc, Disposable Heroes, Ghosts of War, Crypts of Eternity, Silent Scream, Captor of Sin, Some Pain Will Last, When The Sun Burns Red, Coma of Souls, Awakening of the Gods, Riot of Violence, Phantom Antichrist, Totalitarian Terror, Army of Storms, March Into Fire, Follow Me, Through Eyes of Glass, Twisted Into Form, Infinite, Fabulous Disaster, Strike of the Beast - I could go on... DNR doesn't even have any climax to begin with, it doesn't build up to anything special, despite having awesome riffs and a good, up-beat tempo.

I think his most important skill is the ability to play just about anything in metal, and unlike people who cover other people's songs (cough cough lombardo), he doesn't leave out any of the iconic fills. Also one of the strongest, most consistent feet in metal. May not be the fastest drummer who ever lived, but he's probably the most consistent live.

One of Erik's best riffs he has ever written. Look at that talent? Chuck, EP, Gregor on bass (I know Steve Digiogio, a master himself, would soon came back on bass), and the incomparable lead guitar of Alek Skolnick and on drums one of the greatest drummers in metal history. Talent in excess here.

I seen them in the early 90’s at The Back Room in Austin, Tx. I lost a game of pool to Chuck and told him “if you can do that again I’ll turn you onto some acid.” He smoked me on the pool table again. So that night me, a roadie & Chuck tripped balls. He would run over to the side of the stage where we were, point at us and say “I’m fucked!” Yet he was business as usual while singing! My 21st birthday that night!

People have been arguing about which thrash metal band is the best. And it's always the "big 4". Nothing against them, I love them too. However, Testament is THE BEST thrash metal band ever. Either them or Kreator

Metallica (1986 - 91), Slayer, Sepultura (1989 - 93) and Testament - its my Big 4 of thrash metal
