Really wish Testament didn't completely ignore Low and Demonic.

That's what happens when you've got too many great songs to choose from. Something is gonna get left out. Of course they don't need to do four songs off The Gathering either. They could do two and leave room for one song each off Low and Demonic. While their set is good it's still a bit odd that they're ignoring their best selling albums. Nothing off Souls Of Black or Ritual and only the title track from PWYP. Yet, The Gathering is their worst selling album and it gets represented just as much as the material from the new album. Very strange.

I'd support that.

A little movement, and I'm fine with that, but I hope I'm not dealing with a ton of mouth-breathing apes at my show.

Good review by the way! Did you buy any Testament merch?

Yeah, I was in the pit all night. It was crazy, but at least now I'm not in any pain. And I got a Souls of Black patch. I thought I'd have enough for a shirt, but I forgot that they put an extra five bucks on the door charge the day of the show.

Oh well. I'll just snag one off of eBay or their own personal website after the tour.

Well dude picking a set according to album sales isn't going to matter in this type of music. Souls of Black and The Ritual may have sold more than The Gathering, but most fans will tell you The Gathering is one of their best albums and the other 2 albums are some of their least favorites... But i see what you're saying. You would think they would put more "Dark Roots" material in there.

I keep getting emails from enterthevault that claims an Overkill tour announcement is coming soon. It's said this for a month now. Helloween, Kreator and Epica are also listed as having announcements coming soon for anyone interested in those groups too.

According to setlist fm this was Flotsam and Jetsam's set:


Ugly Noise
Iron Tears
Escape from Within
Hammerhead
No Place for Disgrace

If Overkill and Kreator tour together, I'd flip shit.
