After weeks of speculation, the most monstrous touring package in all of metal has been confirmed. And that’s no hyperbole, people. Thrash legends Testament will be joining Judas Priest, Motorhead and Heaven and Hell on a dream ticket that’s rightly being called The Metal Masters Tour. The fifteen-date trek kicks off on August 6th in Camden, New Jersey and winds up on the 31st in Mountain View, California. And what’s more? Before heading out for the fully-loaded Masters tour, Testament will support Priest on a run of Canadian dates in July. The highly anticipated announcement comes only a week before the release of Testament’s ninth studio release, The Formation of Damnation, due on April 29th via Nuclear Blast. The album is currently streaming in its entirety on the band’s Myspace page.Stream Testament’s The Formation of Damnation [Nuclear Blast]
