Formed way back in the early days of the 1980s, the Berkeley, California band Testament was formed and made their mark on America and gave the world the idea of thrash-metal. This was known as the Legacy Days.
Now it is 2020 and Testament is ready to unleash their 13th studio album titled "Titans of Creation", due out for release on April 3rd via their label Nuclear Blast Records.
Testament was signed to Nuclear Blast Records back in 2008 when they released their first album since 1999 titled "The Formation of Damnation". Throughout the years they have released hit after hit. Finally, after 3 years since their last release, titled "Brotherhood of the Snake", Testament is back in the saddle again. In my opinion, here is to hoping for a Lamb of God and Testament tour in 2021.
On January 31st, Testament released track number 4 out of 12 titled "Night of the Witch" off of their soon to be released album. A lyric video can be viewed on YouTube. Testament's vocalist and producer, Chuck Billy comments, "It has been months since the final mixing of ‘Titans Of Creation’ and we are eager for fans to hear it. We feel that we put a lot into this record and at the end of the day it is a TESTAMENT record that stands on its own. We are very proud of ‘Titans Of Creation.’” Chuck also mentions, “'Night Of The Witch’ uses old school lyrics about witches chanting in the moonlight and casting spells. The beauty of this song is that I worked 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.’”
A pre-order for "Titans Of Creation" can be ordered through Nuclear Blast Records at https://nblast.de/TestamentTOC.
