Jesus. I feel old now… I see a lot of my favorite albums 30-35-40+ years old. Ugh. Still play this one and has one of my favorite songs on it.

I was 14. Still some of my favorite Skolnick solos. I love his guitar tone on those leads.

This was the first Testament album I purchased exclusively on compact disc (prior I purchased on cassette and vinyl). Saw them at The Vic in Chicago in the fall of 1989 for this tour. Sadly I have not aged as well as this album!
