The time has arrived for legendary bay area thrash metal giants TESTAMENT to unleash new thunder to the masses and reveal their twelfth studio album: "Titans Of Creation" which will be released on April 3rd via Nuclear Blast.
The first single/lyric video "Night Of The Witch" is released, see and hear it below, the tune uses old school lyrics about witches chanting in the moonlight and casting spells.
Chuck Billy says that the beauty of this song is that I worked in Eric's vocals into the chorus. I wanted to incorporate him as he does DRAGONLORD and this song was a perfect match. It is a heavy song and a great way to introduce everyone to "Titans Of Creation".
The album was produced by Chuck Billy and Eric Peterson while Juan Urteaga of Trident Studios handled co-producing, recording and engineering. Andy Sneap was responsible for the mixing and mastering of the album. Eliran Kantor stepped up once again to create a new masterpiece of artwork for the cover of this release.
Just as the elements of this planet thrive within all living creatures, each musician in TESTAMENT represents a necessary component of this latest musical creation.
The release comes ahead of TESTAMENT s "The Bay Strikes Back European Tour", which will get underway in Copenhagen on February 6 and wrap up in Hanover on March 11. TESTAMENT will be joined on the road by EXODUS and DEATH ANGEL, see all the dates below. Hopefully, I can arrange everything at home and run over and see the show and say hey to the guys.
TESTAMENT is:
Chuck Billy, vocals
Eric Peterson, guitars
Alex Skolnick, lead guitar
Steve DiGiorgio, bass
Gene Hoglan, drums
