Title: Testament - doing what they do best.
Review: Where the previous album, "Souls of Black" was a little bit rushed and poorly produced, The Ritual put the band Testament back in form at the level of their previous album.The album also sees the band changing their sound a little bit, slowing the tempo down. Return to Serenity is much like Testament's version of the Clansman (or maybe the other way around as it came first) and is an awesome song with great guitar work, Electric Crown is the band's version of You've Got Another Coming, songs like So Many Lies and The Ritual show the band experiementing with slower but still heavy sounds.Only downside is nothing on this album is as fast as the pace of the previous four albums.
Is the review positive or negative?
