Iconic Bay Area thrash metal pioneers Testament proudly announce an explosive celebration of their enduring legacy and influential presence in the thrash metal scene. Remastered versions of their seminal albums, The Legacy and The New Order, are now available both digitally and on vinyl through Nuclear Blast Records.
Eric Peterson commented, “The time has come for these limited edition Legacy and New Order re-releases to finally hit the streets! They sound better than ever and with a nice slicey tight wallop! Plus, album-sized booklets with personal photos and notes never before seen from these eras! Also slightly different covers and different band pics from those photo shoots! What are you waiting for?”
The albums were remastered by Justin Shturtz at Sterling Sound. Each album is available on 180G vinyl, with The Legacy on red and white swirl with black splatter and The New Order on blue and purple swirl with black splatter, both limited to 1,500 units worldwide. These special, limited-edition remastered LPs include alternate cover artwork, gatefold packaging with new liner notes, and an oversized booklet with never-before-seen images.
This fall, the ‘Klash of the Titans’ tour makes its triumphant return to North America, offering fans an epic night of metal with Testament and Kreator co-headlining the 33-date run. The tour kicks off on September 12th in Reno and spans across the US, including seven Canadian dates, before concluding in San Francisco on October 27th. Joining the tour are special guests, Bay Area death metal pioneers, and labelmates Possessed.
