Metal for a New Massacre
Posted: 4/22/2008
To honor Earth Day 2008, Testament will be donating a portion of the proceeds from pre-order sales for The Formation of Damnation to Greenpeace. The album can be pre-ordered under 'Merch' at www.testamentlegions.com. Testament was one of the first environment-conscious metal bands, releasing 'Greenhouse Effect' on 1989's Practice What You Preach, which warned of the damage being done to our planet from the greenhouse effect.
To celebrate the April 29 release of The Formation of Damnation, Testament and FUSE have teamed up to bring fans exclusive access with the thrash metal gods. FUSE sat down with Testament for an exclusive interview earlier this year, which will be available on FUSE on Demand, Comcast on Demand, and Fuse.tv.
In Part 1 of the interview, available now on Fuse.tv and Comcast on Demand, Testament discusses the making of The Formation of Damnation. Part 2 of the interview features the guys discussing what it's like to have the classic lineup reunited. Part 2 will be made available beginning in May and can be found on FUSE On Demand, Comcast On Demand, and Fuse.tv.
Starting in May, FUSE On Demand and Fuse.tv will have studio performances of two brand-new Testament songs: 'The Evil Has Landed' and 'Afterlife.'
Check out Testament on FUSE on Demand in April and May, and pick up The Formation of Damnation when it streets April 29. Testament is currently being featured on MySpace's main page (www.myspace.com). See the links attached.
