Released on October 9th in 1990, TESTAMENT's 4th album 'Souls Of Black' is a sonic masterpiece that captured the essence of thrash metal at its finest.

The songs on the album are musically re-worked and lyrically re-written songs that had been demoed in the late 1980s, but never officially released before.

With blistering guitar riffs, thunderous drumming, and Chuck Billy's powerful vocals, this album is a relentless assault on the senses. It's a testament (pun intended) to the band's musical prowess and their ability to push the boundaries of the genre.
