#182 PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH - Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast

PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH, the third release from “Big Six” Bay Area thrashers TESTAMENT, is a bit of a departure from the more eerie, dark, and creepy signature sound represented on The Legacy & The New Order.

There’s an almost upbeat, “good time thrash” vibe to it, with “more singy, less screamy” vocals and “more accessible” songs that radio stations could feel safer playing over the airwaves (especially during the daytime). Some might say it’s their “…And Justice For Black Album” album, others might say it’s their “…And Black Album For All” album. We feel like it falls somewhere in the middle. You be the judge.

Its time to sit back, relax, and enjoy a veritable “orgery” of quality “South American Adult Entertainment” the likes of which you’ve never experienced before. Prepare to learn some thought provoking Mario Bros trivia, discover why you should use a “gentle grip and a fast technique” when working the knotholes of naughty trees and JOIN US as we dive into the “un-darkness” of PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH.
