Iconic Bay Area thrash metal pioneers Testament are proud to announce an explosive celebration of the band’s enduring legacy and influential presence in the thrash metal scene. On July 12th, Testament will release remastered versions of their seminal albums ‘The Legacy’ and ‘The New Order’ both digitally and on vinyl via Nuclear Blast Records.

Chuck Billy states, “When ‘The Legacy’ and ‘The New Order’ were first recorded, we were a young band with limited resources. Now, with the remastering, fans will hear the albums as they were intended to be heard, in their signature sonic onslaught.”

Today, the band offers fans previews of the remastered versions completed by Justin Shturtz at Sterling Sound. Singles ‘Over The Wall’ from ‘The Legacy (Remastered 2024)’ and ‘Into The Pit’ from ‘The New Order (Remastered 2024)’ are now available for streaming on all platforms, accompanied by video visualizers.
