Overview:
The Legacy is the 1987 debut album by American thrash metal band Testament. As of March 1990, the album sold over 150,000 copies in the U.S.

Prior to the album's recording in 1986, Testament was known as Legacy. Their lineup consisted of singer Steve "Zetro" Souza, guitarists Alex Skolnick and Eric Peterson, bassist Greg Christian and drummer Louie Clemente. Singer Chuck Billy was a member of another local band named Guilt. He had performed with Legacy on a few occasions and was asked to become the new singer after Souza left to join Exodus. In 1986, the band changed their name to Testament after finding out that there was a jazz band named Legacy.
 
The Legacy was Testament's debut album and it was a great one. My favorite songs are Burnt Offerings and Alone in the Dark.
