Another MOV reissue of one Testament’s classic early albums. Souls Of Black was release number four for the band, and is prime time Testament. I know I have mentioned this before, but these guys should have been in the Big 4 instead of Slayer, who I think are the most over hyped band in metal. There has to be a groove in the music that at least makes you want to bang your head. Testament have got that part down to a tee. They are the best at writing tunes full of groove and move.

The title track is a prime example of groove and move with a killer riff and beat. Side 2 has to be one of the best sides in thrash. Malpractice starts all groovy and weird, then a killer bouncy groove kicks in, it’s my favourite track. One Mans Fate really slays with a superb riff and killer groove! Testament rule!!!

9/10 from The Grooveman.
