Thank god Alex Skolnick?s amazing kead playing and solos are in here, because other than that and great stmosphere, this is bottom of the barrel scraping thrash. After a massive downfall from The New Order to PWYP, Testament seemingly hamstring themselves even more to release a painfully watered down and generic thrash affair. Not to mention they got infected with the ballad disease that plagued thrash around this time.

The songwriting and production take a noticeable dive from Practice What You Preach. Still a good album, though. Alex Skolnick's guitar-work, which is always fantastic, might be at its absolute greatest here. Check out the solos in Malpractice and Seven Days of May to see what I mean. They try to bring back some thrash influence here; this album is faster on average than Practice What You Preach. It's certainly rushed, but it's classic Testament, so it's only mediocre at worst.

Except for the title track, Souls of Black is an average album. Unfortunately they failed to make the step forward into the big four circle.

Souls of Black could best be described as a less interesting version of Rust in Peace. Granted, the material by these occasionally overlooked thrash masters is still quite solid and at least has some memorable moments. In some ways, Souls of Black actually manages to sound closer to Testament's first two albums after Practice What You Preach. Ultimately, it's still very familiar thrash metal that's fun, but seldom imposing aside from the guitar solos.
