[reanimapeda]

absolut hammer, nach wie vor einfach top.

[Aamon]

sehr gute band. spielt tollen Thrash Metal.
war aber nie eine von meinen Top 10, sondern eher eine meiner Top 100 Bands, weils hier und da songschreiberische Schwachphasen auch gibt in der Band

[Gunnar]

ja, so würd ich das auch sehen (mit den schwachphasen).
naja, top 100 ned, unter die top 30 kommen sie bei mir schon.

the legacy ist mmn eine der stärksten thrash-scheiben überhaupt, aber so genial waren sie danch nimmer, auch wenn \"the new order\", \"practice... \" und \"souls...\" natürlich teilweise auch genial sind. the ritual\"...naja, wohl nicht so toll, aber das hat im fahrwasser des schwarzen metallica-albums anscheinend sein müssen.

low wieder viieeel besser, demonic scheisse, the gathering stark.

live immer eine bank mit sehr sympathischem frontviech. haben auch viele weniger bekannte thrashpartien beeinflusst, würd ich meinen.

aber ob sie nochmal einen gscheiten tonträger zsammbringen?

[Gunnar]

im übrigen wär ich sehr für ein eigenes thrash-unterforum. und ein black metal-unterforum wär wohl auch nicht unangebracht.

[reanimapeda]

2x dafür!

[austrianbastard]

hör grad More Than Meets The Eye vom Rock Hard Sampler - guter Song, obwohl ich seinen gesang (wie üblich) net den reisser find

TESTAMENT Singer CHUCK BILLY Tests Positive For Coronavirus

TESTAMENT singer Chuck Billy has tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus.

The band said he received his test results on Saturday (March 21).

According to TESTAMENT, Billy had "been feeling unwell" since returning home to the San Francisco Bay Area last week following the completion of "The Bay Strikes Back 2020" European tour with EXODUS and DEATH ANGEL.

The 57-year-old Billy, who didn't reveal if he had any idea how he contracted the virus, says he has been quarantined since arriving home.

TESTAMENT's full statement reads as follows:

"As many of you already know, after returning from the 'Bay Strikes Back' over Europe Tour last week, some of us in TESTAMENT have been feeling unwell and have made the decision along with our Doctors to be tested for the COVID-19 novel coronavirus. As of yesterday morning, Chuck and [his wife] Tiffany Billy's tests have come back positive as well as some crew members.

"We wanted to reach out to everyone who has been supporting us and expressing concern to inform you that we are doing what's right, and what's safe, and have all been quarantining ourselves since our return home; since before we were even tested. We are of course concerned for our families, our friends, our crew, our fellow musicians, and our fans. We've reached out to support our fellow Bay Area Bands who are also being proactive in their own camps, staying quarantined and safe, and will speak on their individual situations if and when they are ready to.

"At this moment we are currently focused on staying safe and quarantined, resting, getting ourselves back to health, and of course, sending well wishes, prayers, and positive energy towards our friends who are also sick. We also want to send well wishes to all of our fans and supporters in this time of crisis. We're taking all the necessary steps to stay safe at home and we ask our friends and fans to do the same. Please take care of each other, and stay healthy so we can continue to thrash in the not so distant future!"

EXODUS guitarist Gary Holt revealed earlier in the week that he was exhibiting all the symptoms of COVID-19.

Holt said that he and his wife underwent coronavirus testing on Friday (March 20) but added that they will have to wait "seven to 10 days" for results.

DEATH ANGEL drummer Will Carroll has been in an intensive care unit at a Northern California hospital since Wednesday (March 18) after being taken "very ill" following the completion of "The Bay Strikes Back 2020" trek.

TESTAMENT, EXODUS and DEATH ANGEL canceled at least two shows on "The Bay Strikes Back 2020" tour due to the fast-spreading outbreak of the new coronavirus: February 25 in Milan, Italy; and March 11 in Hannover, Germany.
