{"product_id":"testament-low-180-gram-vinyl-import","title":"Testament Low (180 Gram Vinyl) [Import]","description":"Testament: Chuck Billy (vocals); Eric Peterson (guitar, background vocals); James Murphy (guitar); Greg Christian (bass).\r\nAdditional personnel: John Tempesta (drums); Damien Gallegos (background vocals).\r\nEngineers include: Bill Kennedy, John \"Geetus\" Aguto, Ken Walden.\r\nRecorded at A\u0026amp;M Studios, Hollywood, California and Studio D, Sausalito, California.\r\nTestament singer Chuck Billy sounds like Metallica's James Hetfield crossed with Zul, the demon that inhabited Sigourney Weaver in \"Ghostbusters.\" His rumbling, throat-ripping wail is sometimes so low and unearthly you can forget you're listening to a mere record.\r\nWhich may be what Testament intends. LOW is as much a barrage of political messages as it is a thrashy metal album, with bleak, impassioned tirades about war, child abuse, false gods and other such things. \"Legions (In Hiding)\" warns, in blunt metal-ese, that abused children will grow into abusive adults: \"The damaged will learn\/To keep spinning wheels of abuse.\" \"P.C.,\" an all-encompassing editorial against government and big business, urges \"resistance now or nevermore.\"\r\nOf course, like any self-respecting shredders, Testament is also a tightly-wrapped high-decibel army, equally capable of an oddity like the thrash-jazz-funk instrumental \"Urotsukidoji\" and the straightforward stop-start guitar blast of \"Ride\" (a snare-driven hard rocker that makes great use of a delay pedal). There's even a convincing ballad, \"Trail Of Tears,\" amid LOW's guttural roar.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 09\/08\/2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Testament","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52746961584421,"sku":"TDXAOC-QR5J-NV","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/8142\/3397\/files\/testament-low-180-gram-vinyl-import_MpaYF.jpg?v=1783460390","url":"https:\/\/mediamall.com\/products\/testament-low-180-gram-vinyl-import","provider":"mediamall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
