Testament-Souls of black(my review)

After three albums which ranks among the jewels this album is the varied collection of The new order and Practice what you preach. All the sound, riffs, structure is very closes to those albums.
Testament created typical style on The New order and od Souls of black continues with this style. Here are the songs which sounds fresh as "Face in the sky" or songs with a newer ideas "Malpractice". There are some heavy elements as in the "One man's fate".
And the habit of Testament are the slow songs"The legacy".
The most known song is "Souls of black" which is considerably successful.
There is not very big difference between ferocity and melody. I think the new order is more melodic than Souls of black but those albums are relative.
Souls of black album is universal for Testament and some new elements makes it good. I think Testament were in the gold way but there were some changes. It's truth they will never overcome album The Legacy but atmosphere of The New Order they imitated.
This sound and style is the best for them. Testament is somewhat more in endeavor to be better. They did never go where there was the weakness. Souls of black is good but it could be better. But it's another jewel. The most of all I still admire the ability to be still awesome, to be still a great songwriters and musicians.

Testament is an phenomenon. Every year there was one album. The Legacy(1987), The New Order(1988), Practice what you preach(1989) and Souls of black(1990).

Souls of black is full of various feelings and moods.
When I read between the lines those lyrics are also my favorite. I love Testament philosophy. They know very good say what they feel.

"They're bleeding so black"
