I do wish the songs selected on this thing weren’t the usual suspects. I could’ve used “Eerie Inhabitants”, “Do or Die” or “C.O.T.L.O.D”. It also would’ve been nice to have gotten some Practice What You Preach or Souls of Black on here, but I digress. So, here we have the latest in what seems to be a stream of re-releases coming from the ass end of Testament’s catalog, consisting of the late 90s (Testament’s wild death metal adventure: Demonic) through this (the album you’re reading the review of at this very moment).įor the uninitiated, First Strike Still Deadly is Testament re-recording eleven of the “Greatest Hits” from their first two albums. Those of course being The Legacy and The New Order. Not unlike Suicidal Tendencies’ Still Cyco After All These Years, Anthrax’s Greater of Two Evils or Destruction’s Thrash Anthems, the modern crunch of Testament sweeps in on the old material, modernizing, but still not deviating from the original formulas of the songs.
