Testament. Perhaps one of the most prolific, great-sounding and legendary thrash metal bands. Underrated not to go along with the Big 4 instead of the overrated Anthrax, but one can also thank the Gods that Testament didn't go down that road, for we knew for sure the fate of Big 4 bands was either selling out or failing to achieve larger than life expectations.

1.Testament - The New Order

2.Testament - The Legacy

3.Testament - Low

4.Testament - Dark Roots Of Earth

5.Testament - Practice What You Preach

Bands listed alphabetically, One album per band (With the exception of Carcass and Napalm Death who appear in the Grind and Death Metal sections). Some bands may not be pure old school (Death / Thrash, Doom Death / Death Doom and early Brutal / Technical Death Included) I have also Included some of the more extreme Thrash releases that pre-dated the genre but undoubtedly help pave the way for things to come, I included these as I wish to give a general summary of the way Death Metal began and evolved throughout the 80's and 90's.

Welcome to the sphere my friends. I'm talking about albums made by Guitar Heroes, with extreme creativity and skills. As you know, this is not the biggest musical genre because there are many amazing guitar players, but not that much amazing Guitar Heroes albums which deserves a true attention in their wholeness. For the little story of my life, I used to begin listening to metal with Yngwie, Joe and Steve Vai in 2005 or something like that. And when I bought my first electric guitar in 2005, I first started to try Vai's songs while you all know EVERY beginer starts playing with Nirvana or Red Hot Chili Peppers
Anyway, I hope you will enjoy my playlist. These albums are great to me, and it's always a pleasure to listen to them so many years after. I admit that GH albums are not my first preocupation today (if you take a look to my other lists, you will see), but this is the source of my passion, and each time I discover a good piece of them I bring it here, when I think about it. Enjoy

1.Yngwie Malmsteen - Rising Force

2.Cacophony - Speed Metal Symphony

3.Jeff Loomis - Zero Order Phase

4.Joe Satriani - Surfing With The Alien

5.Jason Becker - Perpetual Burn
