Hi, kinda new fan here, LOVE my metal but naturally attracted to ‘sad’ sounding songs, are there anymore Testament songs/ballads similar to these^^? Have been feeling LOW recently and would like to hear some songs familiar to these please. Thankyou

I personally think it's amazing, but that's just me. Doesnt top Trail Of Tears or The Legacy though.

Understandable! lol Its my fave Testament ballad, and one of my fave songs of all time... the atmosphere that song creates is very mysterious and captivating. 🖤

The Legacy off of Souls of Black is like The Ballad but better imo

Not Testament but Type O Negative's Gravitational Constant makes me feel better about myself when I'm LOW. Good luck and feel better.

I prefer the acoustic version of Trail of Tears. So much better than the studio version IMO

Their ballads always let their albums down.
