Bay Area thrash legends Testament have unleashed their fourteenth studio album, Para Bellum, today (10th) via Nuclear Blast Records. The record serves as a reflection on humanity’s uneasy relationship with technology and the impacts of disconnection, while blistering into full chaotic thrashy beats. To celebrate the follow-up to 2020’s Titans of Creation, these thrashers have dropped an animated video created by Freakshot Films for their latest single, “High Noon.” The track is inspired by the Wild West while musically taking you back to 1999’s The Gathering.

Chuck Billy comments:

“We are so fired up about the release of Para Bellum. There were a lot of hours spent putting this together. These new songs put me out of my comfort zone as a vocalist but the final result I am very proud of what I accomplished. See you in the pit..”
