Testament will be out in support of their excellent 2025 album Para Bellum. The Bay Area band’s 14th studio effort was highlighted by the single “Infanticide AI,” one of our top 30 heavy tracks of the year.
Remarked frontman Chuck Billy in a press release: “2026 looks like it is going to start with an explosion with the ‘Thrash of the Titans Tour.’ Joining us will be our Metal Brothers Overkill and Destruction. Our friendship has almost reached 4 decades. This is gonna be a Thrash Metal show you don’t wanna miss!”
German thrashers Destruction also dropped a new album in 2025, Birth of Malice.
“This is killer news — the THRASH OF THE TITANS tour is finally hitting America!” enthused founding Deconstruction bassist Marcel “Schmier” Schirmer. “So many fans have been shouting for this, and now it’s happening. The best tours happen when you roll with bands you respect, bands you can raise hell with — and when the bill just hits hard.”
Added Overkill frontman Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth, “March can’t come soon enough. We are stoked to be part of this killer package, that will lay waste to the States! Let’s get this show on the road!”
