TESTAMENT is an undisputed titan of thrash metal. One of the definitive acts of the historic and high-octane genre since they first emerged from the San Francisco Bay Area in 1983, the modern icons established themselves with a series of classic records (released each year from 1987 through 1990). They never wavered creatively, unleashing one acclaimed album after another across four decades.

The band’s nearly 3 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone is a clear demonstration of the enduring strength of the Testament legions. Testament’s biggest anthems run the gamut of their storied career, from early classics like “Over the Wall” and “Into the Pit,” late ‘90s bangers like “Down for Life,” through modern scorchers like “For the Glory of…” and “Brotherhood of the Snake.”

An internationally recognized heavy metal institution, Testament regularly appears as a headlining mainstage act at major festivals. Over the years, they’ve toured alongside Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Korn, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, and Lamb Of God, among other contemporaries.

Charismatic frontman Chuck Billy’s distinctive voice infuses their signature sound with rich and diverse textures. Primary songwriter and cofounding guitarist Eric Peterson summons endlessly timeless riffs on command. Alex Skolnick, named one of the greatest of all time by Guitar World, was just 18 years old when Testament recorded their debut, The Legacy (1987). Longtime bassist Steve Di Giorgio (Sadus, Death, Obituary) brings rhythmic heft and fluid dexterity to the proceedings.

Drummer Chris Dovas, the band’s newest (and youngest) addition, adds his own passionate bombast while honoring the astounding legacy of former Testament drummers. (An alumnus including past and present members of Slayer, White Zombie, Dethklok, and Machine Head, among others.)

Both The Legacy (1987) and The New Order (1988) were inducted into Decibel Magazine’s prestigious Hall Of Fame, alongside albums from Metallica, Black Sabbath, and Motörhead. Revolver included The New Order on their list of 14 Thrash Albums You Need to Own. Guitar World recognized Practice What You Preach (1989) as one of the Top 10 Shred Albums of the Eighties. Souls of Black (1990) entered the Billboard 200 at No. 73; The Ritual (1992) debuted at No. 55. Guitar World called Low (1994) one of the Iconic Albums That Defined 1994. Demonic (1997) and The Gathering (1999) saw Testament mining new depths of extremity without sacrificing their bluesy swagger.

The Formation of Damnation (2008) won Best Album at Metal Hammer’s Golden Gods Awards, beating out records from Avenged Sevenfold, Children Of Bodom, Atreyu, and Down. Released nearly 30 years after the band’s formation, Dark Roots of Earth (2012) became their highest-charting album yet, moving more than 20,000 copies during its first week in the US and debuting at No. 12.

Brotherhood of the Snake (2016) enjoyed another Top 20 debut and hit No. 1 on the Independent chart. Titans of Creation (2020) joined year-end lists in Consequence, Loudwire, and Metal Hammer.

As the band gears up for a fall 2024 co-headlining tour with Kreator dubbed Klash Of The Titans, Testament continues work on their next studio album, which promises to become another modern classic. During the tour, the band will perform an “old-school set” celebrating the forthcoming remastered reissues of their landmark first two albums, The Legacy and The New Order.

The worldwide Testament Legions only continues to grow with renewed fervor and passion as one of the definitive acts of modern heavy metal marches forward, never wavering and always crushing.

I was there!!!!

I'm so Jealous!! 🤘❤️❤️❤️

Please give this information serious consideration. It may be how we protect our children’s respiratory health. I don’t think there will ever be a medicine, machine, home remedy or surgery that will displace our physiologic need for regular nasal sinus irrigation as an integral part of our natural oral hydration process. Constant mucus flow is essential for good respiratory health. I believe that nasal congestion and the thickening of nasal sinus mucus are the direct and natural result of improper/insufficient hydration. Prevention is the only healthy choice. All humans are born with natural protections against respiratory illness. When we perform natural bodily functions in unnatural body positions, we need to ensure that the integrity of the processes involved are not compromised or diminished. We have failed to protect the integrity of our oral hydration process. Using cups and bottles to pour “liquids” down the throat is an unnatural and unhealthy mistake. The natural preventative for respiratory tissue exposure is a healthy internal mucus coating. This healthy protective coating is maintained through a process of consistent oral hydration in the anatomically mandated head/body positions for healthy oral hydration. The current human oral hydration theory compromises the hydration process and exposes us to respiratory distress. The current theory fails to acknowledge the undeniably intentional connection between oral hydration, nasal sinus irrigation, mucus distribution and respiratory health. It needs to be immediately reevaluated. This is how our amazing bodies try to protect us. Naturally. The only water thin liquid the human body expects in response to a thirst impulse is water. If it’s water thin and it’s not fresh, clean water, it’s dirty water. There is and has always been an original head and body position for healthy oral hydration. We are all born with only 2 methods of ingesting water. Down on our hands and knees, lips to the surface of the stream, and from our cupped hands. When we assume these original human oral hydration positions, our nasal sinuses are naturally irrigated. Breathing in and out through the nostrils between swallows will facilitate nasal sinus irrigation. Mucus is our first line of defense against airborne allergens, germs and disease and it's our body's protective lubricant. Mucus is secreted into the nasal sinus cavity for distribution through the natural oral hydration process. Pouring liquids down the throat, as with a cup or bottle, will bypass the nasal sinus irrigation aspect of healthy hydration and will also mucus deplete the body from entrance to exit. Failure to naturally irrigate the sinuses during all oral hydration will cause the thickening of mucus which causes congestion and the ensuing exposure to the respiratory system. The exposed tissues are susceptible to dryness, irritation, inflammation and infection. This is not theory. This is fact. This has always been true. Without tools, 100% of us would suck water up into our body. Our anatomic inability to pour water down our throat from our cupped hands is a feature, not a flaw. It's instructional. Teach your children nature's way. Drinking fountains are the modern method of ingesting water as our anatomy and physiology require. To conserve water, I prefer to drink from a 2 quart casserole dish with a lid. I can easily measure my intake and control the water temperature. I keep it on a low table so I have to assume a head/body position similar to the little boy pictured. I drink my fill when I drink. Since we are always in a state of dehydration, I am on a watering schedule in an effort to preempt symptoms of dehydration. Dry mouth is a secondary symptom of thirst for me. I get anxious when I’m thirsty. I drink about 4 liters per day depending on my activity level. I feel better when I’m wetter. If this resonates with you, please share this with everyone you know. Especially your doctors and all parents of young children. I’m trying to tell the world, 10 views at a time. I won’t stop saying this until doctors and scientists start. Now that you know, can you keep it to yourself? We’ve been making this mistake since we all lived in caves. I am not concerned with what and how adults drink. Live your life. My concern is for our children. They’ll do what we teach them. Think about it. Give it a try. No salesman will call. There’s nothing to buy. It’s nature. Peace and Love😎

all levels of awesomeness!
