Testament Announce 2008 Tour Dates By Newsferatu, Writer Tuesday, January 29, 2008 @ 11:07 PM
Thrash legends Testament have announced upcoming tour dates for 2008. The
band will be touring to support their April 29 release of The Formation of
Damnation. The album marks Testament’s Nuclear Blast debut, and it is the
first new studio album from the band since 1999’s landmark The Gathering.
The Formation of Damnation features the classic lineup of Chuck Billy on
vocals, Eric Peterson and Alex Skolnick on guitar, and Greg Christian on
bass...PLUS the venerable Paul Bostaph (Slayer, Testament, Forbidden) on
drums. The band called on Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Trivium, Chimaira) who has
been waiting nine years to engineer and mix the forthcoming album.
Guitar World calls the album “unrelentingly rifftastic and ominously
titled,” and Decibel counted “The Formation of Damnation” as one of the Top
25 Most Anticipated Albums of 2008.
Testament has also re-issued two classic albums, 1997’s Demonic and
1999’s
The Gathering through Prosthetic Records. Both are available now.
Prosthetic will also be re-issuing 2001’s First Strike Still Deadly in
March with new art.
Praise continues to pour in from the many people who have been influenced by
Testament’s music:
“Testament is one of the most underrated classic bands out there. They
should be looked at as one of the pioneers of the metal scene, right up
there with Metallica and Slayer.” – Mark Hunter, Chimaira
“Far and away one of the most influential bands in all of modern metal.
While other veteran acts soak up much of the spotlight with sing a-longs,
Testament maintains the unsurpassed musicianship, integrity and brutality
that continue to create an untouchable legacy.” – Chris Adler, Lamb of God
“Testament is THE band who got me into metal and made me want to write and
play music, & I am VERY much looking forward to the new album” - Jesper
Strömblad, In Flames
Don’t miss Testament as they tour to support the April 29th release of the
highly anticipated new album, The Formation of Damnation.
