Because of the so called "thrash revival" whereby every magazine such as Metal Hammer and other assorted glorified toilet paper jumps on the band wagon and goes on about how great and wonderful thrash is and how it never went away blah blah blah. What those magazines won't say is that they're partly responsible for that since they decided to stop covering thrash as much as they used to. Until now of course when 15 year olds go and buy the Annihilator discography because Trivium told them to. Trust me, in a few years all these thrash bands that are enjoying comeback success will be forgotten again and Florida area death metal from those days will probably become the next revival fad.

How can this be nominated for best album when we haven't even heard it yet? And how can "best album of the year" even be determined when the year's not even half over yet? This better be one good album cuz by now my hopes are sky high. Usually that means I'm in for disappointment.

-And then once thrashgoes out of style again, look to those same bands to start citing Death Metal influences sorta like Oz said. Goddamned mainstream music whores, the lot of em.

From what I have heard of the new Testament album, it is pretty great (there are a few tracks I havent yet heard, 2 actually) but the rest of is Fantastic. It has alot of standout tracks.
Definitely better than the latest albums by Death Angel, Megadeth, Exodus, Overkill (all of which were totally decent albums).
