Friday, April 15: Testament, “The Evil Has Landed”

There was so much excitement around the return of Alex Skolnick and Greg Christian to the Testament fold that many overlooked the fact that The Formation of Damnation was almost entirely written without them, with Skolnick only contributing to two tracks.  As a result, the record played like a logical follow-up to The Gathering, just maybe slightly more focused and definitely a long time coming.  So this was still very much the Chuck Billy and Eric Peterson show, and “The Evil Has Landed” (co-written with Steve “Zetro” Souza) was a natural culmination of the partnership they first developed on Low: the guitars chugged and slammed, Billy’s hoarse bellow cajoled and inched very closely to death metal without going all the way there (as opposed to Demonic), and Paul Bostaph tried to tried to add a measure of percussive sophistication by pretending he was in still in Slayer (and therefore emulating Dave Lombardo, who drummed on The Gathering).  It wasn’t peak Testament, and it really didn’t have much to do with what they performed during Skolnick and Christian’s first run with the band, but it aptly reflected where they’d been and made sense for where the band was at the moment, thus setting the stage for what would prove to be a rather consistent set of records moving forward.
