DisabledCharacterDisabledActor: The character Hiroshi, who is intellectually challenged, was played by actor Gerry Murillo, who has the same disability. Murillo was only ever credited to this one acting role and little is known about him otherwise, as he appears to lead a very private life, but from all accounts his fellow actors liked him a lot.

* ChristmasRushed: ''Souls of Black'' wasn't supposed to be a thing. The only reason it was ever made (according to Eric Peterson) is because Creator/AtlanticRecords wanted an album made so that Testament can join Music/{{Slayer}}, Music/{{Megadeth}}, and Music/SuicidalTendencies on the European Clash of the Titans Tour.

add "Return to Serenity" as a Black Sheep Hit

Added DiffLines:

* ExecutiveMeddling: The final product of ''The New Order'' is due to this; Testament found out suddenly that their contract required another album within only a few months. They quickly wrote and recorded the album... until it got sent back to them because the label requires releases to be a minimum of 40 minutes of length. In response, they added some instrumentals and an Aerosmith cover, to pad it out.
** A similar situation with ''Souls of Black'' as well; The band admitted to quickly writing that album because their contract required it and they wanted to go on tour as quickly as possible.
