The New Order is the second album by the thrash metal group Testament, released on May 10, 1988 (see 1988 in music). It is the album that broke Testament into the rock mainstream, with singles "Trial by Fire" (which featured a music video, as did "Nobody's Fault") and "The Preacher". This success would only grow with their next album Practice What You Preach.
