One of the genre's greatest gems, the guitarwork is fast, impossibly heavy, and downright brutal. Excellent vocals, breakniff bass playing, aggressive drumming, and clean production.

Here, Testament slows down just a bit and tries to sound more dynamic and atmospheric, and they pull it off pretty damned well. With all-time classics like Trial By Fire, Into the Pit, and A Day of Reckoning, The New Order is an awesome melodic thrash record, and my personal favorite release of theirs.

In my opinion Testament's best record. An absolute Bay Area classic. The New Order is full of good moments like the title track, Trial by Fire, Into the Pit, Disciples of the Watch or The Preacher. An absolute Thrash masterpiece.

This album is freaking classic, amazing songs that I can listen to over and over again until I'm old and musty and Testament become oldies metal.

Big improvement over the debut. Great complex guitar work and powerful vocals. With this release Testament brought a lot of freshness and variety to the genre.

Another stellar record from Testament. They expand their soundscape somewhat from The Legacy, and the results are incredible. Alex Skolnick again proves why he?s one of the most underrated, but reverred by those who know him guitarists in metal. The songs are mostly more proggy, unfortunately Nobody?s Fault misses the mark slightly.

Their debut may be their most aggressive work, but this is where Testament find their stride with atmospheric, technical thrash metal. It's beautiful, it's haunting, it's heavy and melodic, it's a wet dream.

The Legacy is better. Sometimes this one sounds like they listened to the Fade To Black intro and decided to do that all over the album. When it thrashes, it's decent, but doesn't do anything that Heathen, Exodus or even Testament themselfes did better before.

Can't tell why hadn't I bothered to get this much, much earlier.
A great example of classic Bay Area thrash.

Their first one is better, though this is cosidered better...

Testament continue their goth inspired thrash metal, while adding even more occult themed chords to their music. A great album, but in my opinion, not quite as fun to listen to as their debut, The Legacy.

The New Order is a far louder and, at times, angrier album than its predecessor. However, there are far less striking moments that will grab the listener and bring them into the album. Even so, this is another very stellar album which has plenty of staying power for those who simply want a heavy, satisfying thrash album.

When a 'Best thrash Albums' list is made, it is incomplete without at least one Testament album. If only one could be on such a list, it should be this one.

I've never been much of a fan of the big four of the thrash. Sure they were all great bands who wrote great songs but they seemed to lack the passion and consistency of other thrash bands (aside from Slayer, who remain true to thrash). Testament are the thrash band for me. If I'm honest, it should have been the big five. And this is one of their best albums. I love the raw tone, and the riffs are pure perfection. "Disciples Of The Watch" is brilliant. I love the epic 1 minute intro and then heading into an amazing thrash riff. And then there's the title track; "The New Order". Guitar genius; it remains my favourite Testament song. This album is amazing. "Formation Of Damnation" is the closest that's come to beating it; which proves... Testament are still alive and kicking.
