At a time when fans and critics and putting together their year end top ten lists, Testament pop up with a video for "More Than Meets the Eye" to remind us all not to forget their latest album, The Formation of Damnation, which came out early this year. Even if it's a calculated move, it's a relevant one. In the wake of new albums by Metallica, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC, Meshuggah and Unearth, to name but a few, it's easy for a record that came out in April to slip between the cracks. And slip, it should not.

The Formation of Damnation is not only the first studio album of new material by Testament in nine years, and a disc that reunites almost all of the band's powerhouse lineup for the first time since 1994, it's also a multifaceted, dynamic powder keg that puts the group back on the map in the middle of a serious thrash metal renaissance.
