Demonic

Demonic is the seventh studio album by American thrash metal band Testament. Released in 1997 with original members Chuck Billy and Eric Peterson, the record also features artists Derrick Ramirez, Gene Hoglan and Glen Alvelais. Ramirez was previously the band's first guitarist, and Alvelais had previously performed with Testament on the 1993 live album, Return to the Apocalyptic City. Demonic was also Testament's only album with Hoglan for 15 years, until he rejoined and performed on the album Dark Roots of Earth. Musically and lyrically, this album is very different from anything Testament had released before, marking a deviation from previous albums to a much darker death metal sound mirroring the album's exorcism theme. Songs like "John Doe" and "Hatred's Rise" stand out in reviews as examples noting the overall heavier change.
