- Testament - 9. The Legacy - Souls Of Black
We're gonna take you back
Through the pages of the past
Just another lonely boy
I could laugh and play
And live in any other way
Then the devil took my soul
The fortune and the fame
I knew I was not the same
And I know I'd never return
Looking at the sky
I knew I would never die
And forever shining through
Wish the sky would say
That blue would turn to grey
And I know I'd be there
Life was like a fantasy
Taken by reality
Does anyone remember me
You once knew me
Flashes of the day
I knew I was here to stay
But no one stays the same
Turn the pages back in time
Through the chapters in my mind
Life's too short to leave behind
It's too late now
Life was like a fantasy
Taken by reality
Does anyone remember me
You once knew me
Flashes of the day
I knew I was here to stay
But no one
Knows my name

The Big 1: Testament
Alex Skolnick, one of my favorite guitar players ever, his style is so awesome. 🤘
Absolutely
Agreed - testament is so unreal- when I listen to this song it takes me to a far place- Alex is a metal god
friedman also good, but alex has that x-tra feeling
I'm fucking addicted to this song man. This whole album is sick!
hi
@@IBroLLyISePhIrOtH legendary!
Agree, the album is sick, but the sound a little bit downward though, still i enjoyed it very much.
@@tommi_marsetio Yeah it is a more polished Testament then we are used to. But it still has some good hooks and solos in their songs! The Ritual took quite a few years to grow on me. But that album has some great tracks on it as well like Return To Serenity for instance. Which I couldn't stand when I first heard it at 18. lol
This is my favorite album. I'm very fortunate to have got to hang out and party with these guys and they are the coolest 😎
I’m 40 now and man this brings back so many childhood memories. That time is gone but the music lives on
I'm 50 and the same man!
56yr young lol. I remember all of these bands during the club days in the southwest. So fun!!
The same here
51 Idem
So you were listening to the record at 6 years old, or several years after it was released, maybe in your teens? ;)
Skolnick is a fucking machine. A soulful machine. The solos he performs on this song are out of this world.
Sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an instagram account??
I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tips you can give me.
@Bryson Corbin Instablaster :)
Eric, Gene and Steve (finger picking) can be called machines.
Alex über soulful playing and phrasing makes him anything but a machine :)
Couldn’t agree more!

My teenage years just flashing by me... What a powerful song
Way better then Metallica
Very much so. They are what metal/rock should be Van Halen with Sammy Hagar I personally think is also on the same level
Deluded is confirmed 👌
yea ok bud
Just different. No reason you can’t like steak and pork ribs.
I don't see they are way better? They are on the same level maybe. They are good that's why fans come here and give them props, which they truly deserve. They are not in the big 4 of the trash metal Olymp where Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax and Megadeth are. But lets be real. Testament are really good and they deserve more attention.
How to explain the feeling that this song gives me, it is a mixture of tranquility but each sound harmonizes perfectly, it is simply an amazing song, my favorite from Testament!
They have a real talent for that
PERFECTION
This is what is in my soul. I come alive with the words and music!!
Their style in thrash metal is unique . One of the greatest bands ever..
+Raed Baker Pretty sure this is a power ballad.
this isnt thrash, this is a ballad. But its true that their style is unique. Best thrash metal band, no doubt.
So it's a thrash-metal Ballad.
I live those times we where unique
No one does metal ballads quite like Testament.
ha ha ha ,Yeah.........
Iron Maiden Maybe, i don't know
Mike Mears Stratovarius has great ballads too.
Iron Maiden, Metallica and Pantera did grreat ballads too
W.A.S.P
Had this album on cassette! Lol! Forgot how amazing this band was. Such tone, style, songwriting... legends in my opinion!! Should've been WAY more successful than they were. For me, it was always about Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica, and Testament in my long hair'd 80's - 90's youth. At 43, this shit is still great!
*Anthrax (first band I saw live, opening for Ozzy in '87), SOD, dammit, can't think of any more. Help me out.
that's alright you can be my younger brother
I had it on cassette too. :D
I´m 43 too, and cannot more agree with you bro!!! Cheers from Colombia
I'm 43 and this is still the best music ever.
Chuck Billy is one of the greatest metal vocalists of all time.
Just saying.
+Ane Dijitak Yeah......
I won't deny he's good but have you heard of David gold from woods of Ypres ? Amazingly talented
+casey Merrifield talk singers that try to sound like type-o , don't do shit for me. It is your preference and believe me, its far from unanimous.. you are the only one. like what you like, but talent is discretionary based on expectation. clearly you aren't expecting much in order to be blown away. Just bc a guy dies doesn't mean he is the best.. shoulda thought that prior to their passing. not after. just saying.
RumpleFoldSkin well that is you opinion not everyone's and like him or not actual read the lyrics and listen to the songs and tell me again he's not talented he was one of the best melodic metal singers to come from Canada and yes that is my opinion and no I don't care if you don't agree that's the best part about freedom of speech
You will never be super saiyan if you " just sayin"
This song is one of Testament's most underrated gems. Perhaps my favorite metal ballad ever written, sang & composed. Testament was and still is one of the best bands to ever exist. Thank you for creating this song that I have so horribly sang & butchered countless of times.
As long as your heart is in it you can do no wrong 🤘❤
Testament the legends🤟🤟
Fact....they are badass.
Even better than November Rain.
My absolute favorite song by them. Representative of everything they're best at. Music,clarity and a POINT to the song. So many lack these days
THIS SHOULD HAVE 30 MILLIO VIEWS!!!!!!
No, it should have 50 millio views!
Wrong, it should have like 10 billion views
@@OscarVargas *billio
No need. Only ones who love this song and amazing solo is enough.
If this song had millions of views that would mean that we would be living in a much better world, in all aspects. In the "real" world we live in, shit like contemporary trap are those that get the views. Society and culture go hand in hand, so no surprise here, sadly.
ALEX SKOLNICK( MOST UNDERATED GUITARIST IN ALL GENRES******ADD MIKE DAVIS OF NOCTURNUS TO THE UNDERATED LIST OF GUITARISTS!!!!
i would definitely say mike davis is far more underrated than alex skolnick. alex has mad respect in metal, meanwhile barely anyone seems to know who mike davis is
this was my first ever heavy metal ablum my dad bought for me. my dad dont even listen to metal music but he knew i would love it so he just bought it for me.
You can never go wrong with the direction of Dad
I don't know
kudos for your dad 👌
That is awesome…. It is a pretty damn good album
Alex Skolnick 🤟😈🤟♥️
This album and "Practice What You Preach" got me through some very tough times. Don't know what I would've done without this music.
6stringsamurai7 same here! This band kept me from putting a bullet in my head years ago
Randall Franklin, dang. I’m glad you made it through. How are you doing now-a-days?
Metal heals us.
like alot of other metal hit right at the time when i needed it to pump in my blood
Same ❤
Skolnick's solos are amazing
+MoveitorLoseit2 Thank so much sir.
+Cristopher Platric I met Alex and Greg in 2006 at a Testament show backstage. Alex was really cool, hung out with my friend and talked to us for a few minutes. But Greg Christian was a dick!
Mike Mears It was awesome meeting Alex. But when we tried to talk to Greg, he gave us a dirty look and walked away. This was back in 2006, I wonder if he had a bad attitude pretty much all the years from then until he left
@@MoveitorLoseit2 I met Chuck and Alex in 2012 when Testament came to India, they were probably the friendliest musician I ever met they signed my poster and my CD and thanked me for attending the show.
I had to follow his solos right until he joined Savatage. The dude is amazing
That solo at around 3:54 will never stop sending chills down my spine. Perhaps my favourite metal solo.
I absolutely agree!
Ifelt it too
I just had the same chill and it happend right when i seen your comment.
Best solo or you could say biggest impact and feeling it gives you
Alex skolnic fucking bad ass guitarist killer Solo and song
One of the best ballads there is, in my opinion.
I think this transcends what is a "ballad" and is encroaching on "Epic Poem" territory.
Wait, even better than Peter Cetera's Next Time I fall?
ruclips.net/video/WQKqp_rZbVk/видео.html
Return to Serenity is pretty amazing too!
Check out Testament - the ballad😁
@@justinshook5332 It is! But the vocals are a little flat, compared to the Legacy, which has both the guitar melodies and the bigger than life anthemic chorus!
This brings me way back. wish I could turn the clocks back .
Testament rocked my teenage years!! 1990 and beyond!
Holy crap. I was looking for this song a few years back and I couldn't find it so I stopped looking after a while. And today I literally just accidentally stumbled upon it!
I freaking love this song.
Where did you first hear it? I hate when that happens lol.
Eli Karvonen Idk, it was at least 8 or so years ago. I am pretty sure my dad must have had the album or something.
Congrats man, I know the feeling when you look so hard for a song but never find it. Then it just comes out of nowhere lol.
I've had that happen to me several times and it's a wonderful feeling to listen to such a great song.
I was a HUGE Testament fan, so I heard it when it came out. This is by far my favorite, but I owned both Souls of Black and the other one (can't think of the name lol) with the "statues" in the desert. BTW, just came to look for this after hearing just a few notes of this song on Alex Jones' "InfoWars" radio/tv show.
Such an underrated song.
Who Listening
This Masterpiece
In 2019
Testament "Pratice Thrash Real Metal"
Since 1980
🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Metal is in my blood any one agree?
I agree. And that explains my iron overload... I was listening to a lot of Iron Maiden. *buh dum tss*
i dunno never met u dont know your blood type
how the fuck do we know? Just head bang on and not worry if others think you have metal in your blood. Only you decide to live the life of a metalhead.
I'm a vampire and your blood taste of gum drops and cupcakes boy! Rid me of your sweetness!
@@ETAisNOW-wn8wx cringe
Memories, memories, I love this song!!!!
+Dee Shiosee Yeah............me too ,love this song very much sir.
when died my funeral song
It feels like high school i always heard this song in the radio
Good old chuck and the boys never let you down
So true thank you
To me, this is when I was 16, waking up in hospital 3/4 dead from organ failure. with my best friend laying on the floor next to me. Some people talk a talk, but Jordan, you walk the walk, Thanks for always being there for me buddy.
I was 22 years old when this song came out and it changed my life I'm 56 years old now in 2024 and listening to it right now❤ underrated song such a great song

Jessie do youthinckthisisnt
My favorite song of Testament.
Greetings from Chile
Yeah......Thank you very much,and please take the personer all in fun sir.
hermano el pedazo de tema wnnnn :')
B0MB3R si ql un clásico del metal este temita
I have to agree. It's different from their usual stuff but it's one of the only Testament songs I keep coming back to.
Oh those teen years when this was new!! Oh it still is The Song!!
sadly sadly under-rated
My heart drops every time this music starts🤘
Legacy
The ballad
Return to serenity
I have to listen these songs before i get started with my day, have to.😎👍
Absolutely
This Amazing So Incredible Beautiful Metal Ballad Is No Doubt One Of The Best EVER ♥ \m/
Jamila Andersson that it is. And let me just say u are very beautiful sex to this song is amazing 👍
Love lost my Jameson Last year in August
Return to Serenity right there with this one as well. Both great
music that'll never die !!
Alex skolnik is light years ahead of Kirk Hammett.. kirk cannot hold a candle to Alex as far as solos are concerned... and also alex's tone and riff is in a different league.. i know it's stupid for me to compare but that's just my point of view..
Musica_aeon agreed.
Skolnik is technically better but both are emotionally on point so doesn't matter.
think of all those great Metallica solos...they take you to another place...
I like both but Alex is way better than most thrash players (and part of the elite on any genre)
No one mentioned Kirk you fuck head lmao
Kirk can't hold a candle to Babymetal...I don't understand how you manage to backslide playing guitar, it seems I'm possible. But damned if he didn't do it.
SO AMAZING BEAUTIFUL. .I LOVE THIS SONG..ONE OF THEIR BEST SONGS
EVER ♥ ♥ ♥
que temazo.... quien le da no me gusta a esta hermosa cancion, no sabe de musica.
Así es....:)
I was 10 when I would always hear my brothers blasting this song 😢 man crazy how time flies
I love all of Testament's slow paced songs, but The Legacy has always been my favorite. Testament is so amazing at doing both aggressive fast paced songs, and slow paced songs big time. Chuck Billy is PHENOMENAL at singing both styles big time. This is one reason why Testament is one of my all time favorite bands ever. They are just so extremely talented, and in my opinion they are underated. In my eyes they should be headlining arenas all around the world.
Probably my favourite Testament tune. Love It. Respect, from the UK. 🇬🇧
great singing and guitar solos
Yeah, it is a real showcase for both of them.
Freshman year of High School!
one of my favs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it so much!!!!!!!!!!!!
ELL I NATHALIE KORRE
Mine too testament rules
chuck's voice kills it in this song ... can't stop listening.
+Jennifer Ramirez Criminally underrated vocalist. His vocals on Trail of Tears are goose bump inducing...
+A B Don't forget about "Return to Serenity" - very emotional
Temazoooo quien lo escucha en diciembre 2019?....
Yo siempre
2020 y sigue sonando, lml...
Primeira vez que ouço e sinceramente estou maravilhado com esse som cabuloso e ao mesmo tempo relaxante da guitarra.. Meu peguei uma viagem louca agora kkkk
Me sinto assim toda vez, sla é quase hipnotizante kkkj
There’s so much emotion in this song that I can’t express in words, not even explain!!
.. connected to the lyrics, seems I’m the one who has lived this story!
Amazing song, amazing sintonía ✨🥀🖤
mi pare che sei italiana ? i knew when you said amazing sintonia :D
Got that right honey
I was born from metal and Testament
Bless ✨🌌 keep dreaming, keep feeling through pain 🥀🖤

Addicted to this song.. amazing lyrics, Amazing guitars amazing vocalists ❤❤❤
So many memories with this song. Chuck has an unique vocal.
Legendary song right up there with fade to black
Still rocks in 2018!!!!
Right????
Just as freash and real as the first time I head it in the 90s !!!
Chuck knows growling but singing too, awesome singer
God how I love this band! Saw them in concert with Slayer and got permanent ear damage. It was so worth it!!
I saw em with Slayer too seasons of the abyss tour in Indianapolis was fantastic
I saw testament , motorhead, Judas priest, sabbath with Ronnie James Dio.....bad to the bone
I saw them with Slayer a few years ago in Charlotte
Native American metal
I've come across some Testament material over the last couple of years that really do it for me. Practice what you preach, Electric Crown, Brotherhood of the Snake, More than meets the eye, Low, Native Blood...songs like that not only get me rockin', they really make me think, especially More than meets the eye, Native Blood, and PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH!!! As for that last song that I mentioned:If people would learn to Practice what they preach, instead of being such friggin' hypocrites all the time, our world would be in much better condition than it is now!
To me certain metal bands have a tribal feel... testament being one of them
i saw 8 faces in the clouds
There's 9 faces
I've always loved the mellow metal songs like this, Trail of Tears, and songs by other metal bands, songs like Quicksand Jesus by Skid Row, Damnation by Fates Warning, Strange World by Iron Maiden, Remember Tomorrow by Iron Maiden, and Dreamer Deceiver by Judas Priest to name just a few.
+Kendall2001 Thank you for the song names and discoveries :)
Feel free to give me some other ! :D
great list brother, we share a lot of the same likes. peace man
I love these kind of songs too. Thx for share a few of them!! Few from my list too:
Machine Head - Descend Shade of Night
Testament - Cold embrace
Judas Priest - Beyond the realms of Death and Run of the mill
Black sabbath - Zeitgeist
...
And theres a lot more...
solonya alex ga nahannn booo....:))
Always remember you will never be as young as you are right now. 10 years from now youll wish you were the age you are now. Sad.
Steve Johnson one year since you wrote this comment, nine years from now and i will remember i hope.
@@viktor85698512 Already another year has passed.
Why sad ? 10 years later, if you're even alive by then will be a blessing.. With age comes Wisdom. Some people die before they even reach 10 yrs of age. Be grateful for whatever age you make it to..
Thank you for posting that Brother. Just really helped me out of a spot I've been kinda stuck in.
fuckin best ballad 👍
#this is my dads favorite song
Oh-hey thanx for makin' us all feel old-YA 'LIL SNOT!
Alex had a great tone. On this song, he makes that guitar tell you how he's feeling. I've always loved this song since it first came out. I was in highschool
Wow! Finally a comment from this decade!
@@aidanb8300 he could make it talk. Amazing!
The intro is epic.
Not just a good song , Excellent, TESTAMENT BAND Rules,👍🎵💪thank you
Life was like a fantasy
Taken by reality
Does anyone remember me
You once knew me
Epic lyrics...
I Love Chuck Billy He’s Got A Beautiful Voice He Sang The Ballad, Return To Serenity and The Legacy They’re The Best Thrash Metal Ballads Songs. 🎸❤️😘🤘🏻🤘🏻
Bela música !🇧🇷
I swear my friend and I took his grandma to her Dr. Appointment and she loved this album.
and Grandma
This song is the reason I always love metal , never forgot this song and this band
Same here bro.
When shit really gets fucked up I go to Testament
WTF HAPPENED TO MUSIC LIKE THIS?!
For Real😕
Ya just need to sit that Young blood down, explain this music to him/her, and go from there.
Just like my older brother did for me. I mean, shit...this music is kick ass, much better than anything out there today!
( And you know what I'm talking about out. Bust out your old tapes, and TEACH these dumbasses!)
It still exsit just need to look deep or make your own music
What happened? Seattle WA in the narcoleptic 90s happened. Metal in terms of Thrash was no longer wanted, MTV followed by killing off any band with real talent and musicianship. It got worse with the boy bands, the folk music that was rehashed. But metal NEVER went away. It just got pushed underground, and LOYAL fans kept bands like Testament alive. In my book this band should have been bigger than Metallica.
@@kjemradio you're right of course, but bear in mind some things are meant to be underground...held on to and cherished by the ones, the few, that actually get it. All other music rotates in shifts, and the fans rotate with it, flavor of the day bullshit. Grab a pop fan up and play them a pop tune from the same year as this album. Betcha they wrinkle thier nose and tell you it sucks. And they'd be correct, but that's irrelevant. Metal transcends time and space, literally. It is what it is, and we love it. Let the mindless ones cheer for their drivel...we need a laugh anyway.
Another Skolnick Solo (Genius)
IF YOU DISLIKE THIS SONG, THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE I WOULD NOT LIKE YOU IF WE MET FACE TO FACE!!!!!
Love that lead guitar!!!☺☺
This is amazing 30 years later
Jesus Chrsit I love this band!!
THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST ' UNDERRATED ALBUM OF THE 80S ...................
brad dary
This dammed well better be underrated 80's seeing how it was released on October 1990.
This would be my theme song for the Montauk Project! Has been since it cam out brand new- I still have the cassette!
Pure nostalgia
I bought this album back when it first came out back in 1992 or 93. Fuck where has all that time gone to? Good memories
would listen to this tape on my way to school...loved and still love this album
It’s Hard To Pick Every Testament Albums to Prefer I Love The New Order or Maybe Souls Of Black And Practice What You Preach Or Sometimes The Legacy First Album From Testament. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Who here in September 2019? Love this 😈
october 2019
Still in 2022
A real legacy song!!!!
MASTERPIECE
great song................. but legacy? I don't want to be remmebered, just live my life as I can ,good and bad and thats it.
I find it hard to work out why people want kids, if you odopt one or two,.. be the Dad you want to be.
but thats just the parental nature of life side done, why would you want anyone to mourne you.. just live and die and don't leave a finger print.
no band can be better than slayer testament helloween and iron maiden in metal
*MANY BANDS INTENSIFY*
*Judas Priest Scorpions Megadeth Metallica Overkill and Annhilator have joined
Overkill maiden testament are my favourite bands
Where's Death Then? v.v
Metallica fr me
Uma grande amiga me recomendou está música e concordo, surpreendente.
Chuck Billy has the most versatile voice in thrash metal. Change my mind.
Man this album is killer from start to finish. Definitely my favourite by them. No idea what the hell happened with The Ritual...
So i guess I've commented already. Just dont recall.
Somehow i ended up back here again.
And the music still kicks ass.
Isn't this just brilliant?! I love the faster, heavier, more aggressive stuff but sometimes you need something melodic but powerful and this fills that need for me.
Testament a very unrecognized band way better than Metallica and megadeth
Agreed
Idk about better than megadeth...definitely right under them in my book
I went to a Judas Priest, Megadeth and Testament concert once many moons ago ...so drunk we missed most of Testament opening which kinda sucked but we heard them do this tune lol...then Megadeth put on the loudest heaviest show you could imagine, what a long-haired drunken night of joy :D
The best ballad I've ever met in my life!
Sometimes i just start the song again just before its over. Testament was unknown to me until a month ago. Propably my third favorite band, behind Pantera and Megadeth.
Someone please explain to me why when Metallica makes songs like this they get called sellouts? I love Testament Slayer Metallica ( despite St. Anger and Lulu ) Pantera and Megadeth. Every single one of the most beloved metal bands have done things some fans don't agree with. Metallica just gets shit because of their popularity and Lars.
