Finally, a Friday night show! And not just any show — the return of American thrash veterans Testament, accompanied by Canadian thrash weirdos Voivod! The show had sold out well before the event itself, though once again things didn't…

»On "Titans Of Creation" you'll look in vain for anything you haven't already heard from Testament, or for anything especially fresh, since it sounds very much like its predecessors "Brotherhood of the Snake" and "Dark Roots Of Earth". At…

"»Conundrum« is everything we want from Alex Skolnick and his trio. This seven-year cycle between the trio's album releases works out great."

Bay Area thrash giants Testament released their twelfth studio album Brotherhood of the Snake last year, but only this year did they bring it to Europe on a real, proper tour - including their very first indoor show in Slovenia - and that…

Czech Republic. The land of beer, sausages and our former comrades behind the Iron Curtain. But the Czech Republic is also home to one of Europe's biggest extreme metal festivals, Brutal Assault, which this year hit its eighteenth edition.

"Dark Roots of the Earth is without a doubt one of the strongest contenders for album of the year, and there's no way anything thrash-wise is topping this beast this year. Forget the Big Four (Dave Mustaine can go cry in Lars Ulrich's lap),…

Testament pulled off something incredible with Dark Roots of Earth: they topped their predecessor, The Formation of Damnation.

Location: Tolmin (the confluence of the Tolminka and Soča) / SloveniaDate: August 6, 2012 We moan every year, and we moan all year long. We (rightfully) complain about a lineup that looks like the roster of Nuclear Blast and/or the…

The first day of this year's Metalcamp was all about the California double assault of Testament and Machine Head!
