Days of Darkness
Days of Darkness is a two-disc Testament compilation, released on 24 August 2004 and issued in the UK and Europe the same year through Recall 2cd. It gathers some of the thrash metal band's work from the late 1990s and early 2000s into one set.
The first disc draws its tracks from two albums, Demonic (1997) and The Gathering (1999). The second disc is the whole of First Strike Still Deadly, the 2001 album. That makes it a handy way into a stretch of Testament's career that sits between their original run of late-80s and early-90s records and the albums that followed from 2008 onwards. If you want those records together without hunting each one down, this is a neat package.
