Quite the endorsement for the latest offering from Bay Area thrash pioneers Testament, whose ninth studio album, Formation of Damnation, is slated for release on April 29th. The proper follow-up to 1999’s deafening fan-fave The Gathering, Damnation features the original Testament line-up of vocalist Chuck Billy, guitarists Eric Peterson and Alex Skolnick, and bassist Greg Christian, with the addition of friend and former member, Paul Bostaph.
