Anyone familiar with this song? I've had "The Gathering" album since it originally came out, but I didn't even know about this Japanese bonus track 'til yesterday... Apparently, it was reissued by Prosthetic records in 2008. It sounds great!

It never compelled me to re-buy the album. It's just a rather boring instrumental track.

It certainly doesn't shred but it had a cool groove.

Quite like it myself. I can see why it wasn't on the original regular release, but I'd pick-up the re-release for a fair price if I saw it.

Hmm, this is pretty cool! Maybe someday I'll get the rerelease and sell/trade off my original.

Just the title of the song and the sound of the drums made me think of Led Zep

I knew about the song being on the japanese release,didn't know about it being on the re-issue. Maybe I'll pick that up one of these days.

Cool track, I dig it. Sounds like "Industrial Zeppelin". This is my favorite Testament album after the "classic era".

Me too. It's a great, often overlooked album. Curiously, it's almost devoid of guitar solos.

I will eventually get the re-release for this track.

Wow, I hadn't noticed. I'll need to keep an ear out for that next time I listen to it.

It was the signature, I removed it, sent a PM and cleaned up the thread. FYI.

Seemed a little boring and repetitive to me.

Very boring and repetitive!

It sounds like it was never intended to be an instrumental, probably something they were messing around with and didn't finish, released "as is".

It sounds like music for a movie soundtrack. Cool outer space vibe.

I was a bit slow in purchasing this album. I only purchased it in 2008 when the bonus track was recently added.

The song was cool, but I certainly wouldn't re-buy the album to have it.
