I just downloaded some Testament songs, Electric Crown, Return to Serenity, and The Legacy among them. Are these good songs? I really like Return to Serenity, because, as you said, Dino, it's really different. There are some awesome vocals, pump-me-up guitar riffs, and really solid drumbeats. The other stuff reminds me pretty heavily of Metallica though. I'm not sure if it's because I don't listen to much metal or if there actually are some startling similarities. Either way, Return to Serenity ****ing rocks.
By the way, does Coheed and Cambria count as metal? Their lyrics are screechy and emo and shitty, but they have some pretty fabulously rockin' riffs and such.
