TESTAMENT Members Interviewed By TC ELECTRONIC At NAMM; Video Available
January 25, 2009TC Electronic's Ruy Kuypers conducted separate interviews with Chuck Billy (vocals) and Eric Peterson (guitar) of veteran San Francisco Bay Area metallers TESTAMENT at this year's NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants) show, which was held January 15-18 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. Watch the footage below.
TESTAMENT will play its classic first two albums — "The Legacy" and "The New Order" — for one night only at Islington Academy in London, England on March 25. This unique "Metal Hammer Presents..." event will showcase the face-melting albums that kick-started the TESTAMENT story and helped create a monumental legacy that now stretches over 25 years. The set is also set to include a neck-cracking encore that will be drawn from the very best of the rest of the band's back catalog, possibly including cuts from the group's 2008 Metal Hammer Golden Gods "Album Of The Year", "The Formation Of Damnation".
"The Formation of Damnation" debuted at #59 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and is TESTAMENT's highest-charting release in the band's 24-year history. The album, which has sold more than 50,000 copies in the U.S. so far (according to Nielsen SoundScan) also dominated at radio, holding the #1 spot on both CMJ and FMQB for several consecutive weeks.
