Steve DiGiorgio's presence is really felt on that album, it's a shame that he only played for that one album because I think he could have really been a key member for the band.
The Testament albums I had in mind were "The New Order" "The Ritual" and "The Gathering". The Gathering is probably the heaviest and most aggressive thing that I`ve heard by them. I seem to remember, they started the move to more death metal in style on the previous "Demonic" album.
