Testament working on new release and takes on Europe

After a fantastic tour across Mexico, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Argentina and Chile in South America, TESTAMENT are back in the states….but not for R & R! TESTAMENT are currently working on a BRAND NEW ALBUM and are currently awaiting to ink a brand new recording deal …stay tuned for more.

With regards to the South American tour…TESTAMENT frontman, Chuck Billy had the following to say…”South America kicked ass. They made us feel so welcomed. The fans sang and hummed all the melodies to every song. I will not wait so long to get back there. Metal forever”

Hugo Garcia, editor of Argentina's most popular and distributed metal magazine had the following to say about the band's recent appearances in South America..."TESTAMENT's South American trek was not only a great experience, but also proved that Thrash Metal is a worldwide force. This was the first time the TESTAMENT classic line up showed up in Buenos Aires and they proved that their skills are better than ever. With the addition of former Cradle of Filth's / Dimmu Borgir / Brujeria drummer Nick Barker, Testament gained a lot of power and the fans simply loved it. The Buenos Aires sold out concert was on April 29th, also bassist Greg Christian's Birthday, so the fans sang Happy Birthday to him. A cool way to finish this thrash metal party."

TESTAMENT are back on the road again as they begin a conquest across Europe.
