TESTAMENT Announces "The Dark Roots Of Thrash Tour" With OVERKILL, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM & More - Full Agenda Available!

Recently, TESTAMENT picked up the "best music video" award at the American Indian Film Festival, read all about it HERE!

Today, Bay Area Thrash Metal legends, TESTAMENT, announced their first U.S. headlining tour since their phenomenal chart success with their NEW album, 'Dark Roots of Earth'. The trek promises to be one of the best Thrash Metal lineups of the year, with support coming from the world renowned OVERKILL and FLOTSAM AND JETSAM, as well as Australian thrashers 4ARM.

“It’s a thrill to announce our upcoming dates with OVERKILL and FLOTSAM AND JETSAM,” commented guitarist Alex Skolnick. “It’s a tour that brings together three different metal bands from three different regions: West Coast, East Coast and Southwest. All three bands sound very different from one another yet are highly compatible. All have been around the block (and the world) a few times and all have managed to keep a sound that feels current. This tour will be a ‘must see’ for fans who remember the early days of thrash/speed metal as well as those whose age is younger than the genre itself.”
