Opium Death is a brutal concoction of extreme metal, sent forth from the suburbs of Chicago, USA to lay waste to metalheads around the world with their first full-length album “Genocidal Nemesis”, which is being unleashed on April 19th.
On August 4, 1989, Testament released their third studio record “Practice What You Preach”.
The album is considered the band’s breakthrough, as it was the first time they cracked the Top 100 (77th) on the Billboard Charts spending nearly 12 weeks there and almost reached Gold Record Status selling 450,000 units only 50k away – buy this record!
According to album Producer Alex Perialas, “Preach” was recorded live off the floor, with the exception of Chuck Billy’s vocals. The band would run through the album twice per day and the best takes of each track would be used for the final product.
Lyrically, the band moved away from the occult themes that were present on previous releases and
Practice What You Preach symbolizes everything I love about late ’80s thrash metal.
