Bay Area legends TESTAMENT are set to lay waste to Australia in June 2025; their first headline tour since 2010. We caught up with Eric to talk all about the Australian Tour, new music from both Testament and Dragonlord and of course explore the meaning of life…
Since emerging from the San Francsico Bay Area TESTAMENT have delivered some of the greatest metal anthems of all time. ‘Over The Wall’, ‘Practice What You Preach’, ‘Rise Up’, ‘Into The Pit’, ‘Brotherhood Of The Snake’, ‘Low’, ‘The New Order’, ‘First Strike Is Deadly’… The list of absolute classics seems endless as they unleashed one crushing album after another.
With no shortage of critical acclaim, Testament remain one of the select few bands with 2 albums, (both The Legacy and The New Order) inducted into Decibel Magazine’s prestigious Hall Of Fame, alongside Metallica, Black Sabbath, and Motörhead.
Revolver Magazine included The New Order on their list of 14 Thrash Albums You Need to Own. Guitar World recognized Practice What You Preach as one of the Top 10 Shred Albums of all time. Guitar World called Low as one of the Iconic Albums That Defined 1994. The Formation of Damnation won Best Album at Metal Hammer’s Golden Gods Awards. And released nearly 30 years after the band’s formation, Dark Roots of Earth became their highest-charting album yet!
TESTAMENT have remained steadfast over the course of literal decades; always managing to present the genuine aspects of thrash metal that defines their existence while spreading into unique horizons through new crisp and fascinating sounds.
The worldwide Testament legions only continue to grow with renewed fervor and intensity as one of the most influential acts in heavy metal marches forward, never wavering and always crushing.
