Testament Vinyl Records
One of the most influential thrash acts to emerge from the Bay Area in Metallica's wake, Testament, who initially operated under the moniker Legacy, helped to lead the genre's second wave in the late 1980s. Part of the thrash metal "big eight," which also includes Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Exodus, Overkill, and Death Angel, the band found mainstream success in 1988 with the release of their sophomore outing, The New Order.
