ALLEGIANCE
============
[2:37]
As performed by Testament
on their album "The Gathering"

It seems like I've done loads of thrash stuff lately, although most
of it isn't released coz' it's for compos and musicdisks. Well, I did
"Down For Life" from this album as well, and coz' I enjoyed tracking that
one so much, I decided to do this one as well. I can't play some of the
riffs, so I had to split them up :( Damn, I can't show off :D
Anyway, I think this is pretty damn close to the original; possibly the
most accurate cover I have ever done (I did all but one of the guitar
fills, and it's EXACTLY thelength of the original!!!). I even spent ages
tweaking the guitar sound to match Testament's, as well as finding a choir
sample that sounds like the start of the original (that took me fkn ages).
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this, and if you don't, you can take your sound
system and shove it where even the KGB won't find it :D Damn, this is the
first time I've gone under 150 bpm in a LOOOONNG time :)
I love the way that the drums pound pretty much all the way through this
song; it's really energetic and driving...but then so are most of the
songs on this album. I guess I lost some of the driving force and power
here. If you haven't got this album, it's reccomended for fans of all
metal styles; fucking amazing stuff here.
BTW #1: guitarists should try playing the
whole song all the way through; see how hard it is to nail those unison
bends? you gotta skip 4 strings and jump 12 frets at the same time (fuck!)
BTW #2: As usual, the vox suck coz' I can't do thrash ones, only death
growls...if you want, you can just mute channels 13 and 14...but the song
sounds a bit boring then.
All guitars and vocals by me
Bass by Inverted Cross
Drums stolen from elsewhere
- bass drum EQed by me to remove some hiss.
- I think the snare is either Hybrido's or Skarf's (ripped from one of
AeuK's songs if I remember right...)

Hey everybody
Join together unified
Hey are you ready
For us all to fight for pirde
It's our last chance to defend
Our war cries to the bitter end
Pray up to the heavens

Everybody stand and rise
And join together unified
Hey everybody
Come together, raise the knife
Same old promise
That we've heard a thousand times
It's our last chance to defend
War cries to the bitter end
