Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick has shared an update about the band’s upcoming album on X (formerly Twitter).
A fan asked about the release of a new Testament album before the band’s Australian shows. Skolnick responded with mixed news: “It will be finished but not released yet.”
The album’s recording process will be completed before Testament’s Australian tour in June. However, fans will need to wait longer for the official release.
The band is currently preparing for their upcoming Australian tour dates. This milestone marks an important step for their latest musical endeavor.
The announcement carries special significance given Testament’s touring history and recent musical achievements.
Metropolis Touring revealed that these shows will be Testament’s first headline performances in Australia since 2010. This return marks a crucial moment for the thrash metal veterans.
Music Feeds noted that Testament’s last Australian appearance occurred during the Soundwave festival in 2014. This upcoming tour ends their decade-long absence from the country.
Lambgoat detailed the 2025 tour schedule. The band will perform five shows across major cities. The tour begins June 18th in Brisbane and concludes June 24th in Perth.
Testament has remained creatively active since their last Australian tour. The band released ‘Brotherhood Of The Snake’ in 2016 and ‘Titans of Creation’ in 2020. These albums set the foundation for their upcoming release.
