Wait wait, Crance. You think? What's holding you back? Or did you mean that you know it's rad? I'm just confused by your comment, that's all. Let me know when the final verdict is in!
This weekend MTV played clips of "featured" musical acts during commercial breaks, house ads, and the closing credits of Next. Does this increased visibility help a band much? We'll see if The Formation Of Damnation, the latest (14th!) album by Testament, sees a noteworthy sales increase now that the San Francisco metal veterans have become this week's pick in MTV's 52/52 Bands promotion. They're not the first aging band to receive this nod in 2008; in February, MTV gave it up to the Bad Brains! But this post isn't about the Bad Brains, this post is about Testament.
Being one of the more influential American thrash metal bands, Testament were perhaps the most popular band of that scene to not break into the mainstream and see the success that the bands known as the "Big Four of Thrash" (Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica and Slayer) did. Some of their records nonetheless entered the charts in major markets such as the United Kingdom and Germany. Testament has two Top 40 albums and one Top 50 album to its credit in the UK. Their 1999 album The Gathering also entered the Top 50 in Germany. They had minor top 100 album success in the United States. Their latest album, The Formation of Damnation is the ninth studio album by Testament, which was released on April 29, 2008. The album debuted at no. 59 on the Billboard 200 Chart, selling 11,900 copies in its first week. Not bad considering 8 tracks leaked in late March!
