As technology accelerates and disconnection grows,\u00a0Para Bellum<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0sees\u00a0TESTAMENT<\/strong> reflecting the modern chaos through music that\u2019s urgent, sharp, and unflinchingly human.<\/p>\n

TESTAMENT\u2019s Chuck Billy\u00a0<\/strong>comments, \u201cThe new album Para Bellum consists of some fast, heavy and melodic tunes. Once again Peterson has found a way to keep the song writing fresh and modern sounding. It\u2019s gonna be hard to choose what songs to play live cause to many to choose from.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

TESTAMENT\u2019s Eric Peterson <\/strong>states,\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s been 5 years since our last record\u00a0Titans Of Creation<\/strong>\u00a0was released. Since then, we all waited to get back to it and we all did in a big way! Now our long overdue new record\u00a0Para Bellum<\/strong>\u00a0is upon us and about to be released in October. We are super stoked and excited to release new blood and fury to you all! With our first single \u2018Infanticide A.I.<\/strong>\u2018 we\u2019re coming out swinging! But with new velocities of fury, while maintaining a balance that we all love and know from a Testament track, enjoy!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Para Bellum\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>was recorded\u00a0with\u00a0Juan Urteaga<\/strong>,\u00a0mixed\u00a0by\u00a0Jens Bogren\u00a0<\/strong>at\u00a0Fascination Street Studios<\/strong>, and was mastered by\u00a0Tony Lindgren<\/strong>\u00a0at\u00a0Fascination Street Studios<\/strong>.\u00a0The album is extremely polished and operating at full throttle. The band once again enlisted\u00a0Eliran Kantor<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0<\/strong>create the album artwork. In an era flooded by AI-generated imagery. the hand painted creation encapsulates the album\u2019s essence: a serene angel made of missiles, an explosion turned halo, surrounded by shovel-bearing cultists with books strapped to their faces.<\/p>\n

From first note to last breath, Para Bellum<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is an album by warriors\u2014crafted in chaos, and built to outlast the wars to come!<\/p>\n

Chuck Billy | Vocals
Eric Peterson |\u00a0Guitar
Alex Skolnick |\u00a0Guitar
