Bay Area thrash metal icons TESTAMENT returns this Fall with their fourteenth studio album, Para Bellum, which will be released on October 10th via Nuclear Blast Records. The album stands as both a battle cry and an observation of humanity's uneasy alliance with its own creations. As technology accelerates and disconnection grows, Para Bellum sees TESTAMENT reflecting the modern chaos through music that’s urgent, sharp, and unflinchingly human.
Testament's newest single, 'High Noon,' is a Wild West adventure set to music, evoking images of duels and gunslingers. The song offers a nod to the band's acclaimed The Gathering period, yet successfully incorporating fresh, contemporary elements, demonstrating the band's forward momentum.

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.🤘🏼."
