Thrashcast Episode 98: Testament's Souls Of Black Album

Welcome to a new era in podcasting.

Thrashcast is the place to find riveting discussions on classic thrash albums, news and reviews. Your hosts are three thrash loving maniacs who grew up during the golden age of the genre. Kenneth, Billy and Jim will get together weekly to bring you a deep dive on some of your favourite thrash records.

Show Notes:

Episode Ninety-Eight: Jim and Ken discuss Testament's infamous "Souls Of Black" album which was released on October 9, 1990. This was Testament's fourth studio album.

Although the band was staying true to their thrash sound, "Souls of Black" saw some style changes to several diverse styles of metal, continuing the fusion of technical and progressive influences that began on their previous album: Practice What You Preach.

Fun Facts: One of the main reasons behind the making of Souls of Black was so that Testament could participate in the European Clash of the Titans tour with Megadeth, Slayer and Suicidal Tendencies. Along with Megadeth, they also opened for Judas Priest on their Painkiller tour in the United States.
