As they prepare a new record, Testament just announced the Dark Roots of Thrash II tour which is happening in April and will include select Testament and Exodus festival performances too. Fellow Bay Area thrashers Exodus and Texas melodic metal assailants Shattered Sun join them on tour. Select cities are on sale now, and more dates will be announced soon. See the dates below!

In addition to its monumental line-up, this tour sees Testament serving up another surprise for die-hard fans of their early tenure. Each night, Testament will perform an epic headlining set that digs deep into the early discography that launched their worldwide career spanning two-and-a-half decades. The band's exclusive set will feature full-album performances of 1987's classic body of work The Legacy and 1988's unrelenting The New Order, in addition to select tracks from 1989's Practice What You Preach.

Dark Roots of Thrash II tour also marks the live re-introduction of Testament bassist Steve DiGiorgio. This isn't DiGiorgio's first time playing with Testament, as he is credited for recording bass on 1999's The Gathering and 2001's First Strike Still Deadly.
