TESTAMENT - Para Bellum 2LP COPPER (PREORDER)

NB! This is a preorder item - Releasedate is October 10th 2025

San Francisco Bay Area metal veterans TESTAMENT will release their new album, "Para Bellum", on October 10 via Nuclear Blast. The album stands as both a battle cry and an observation of humanity's uneasy alliance with its own creations. As technology accelerates and disconnection grows, "Para Bellum" sees TESTAMENT reflecting the modern chaos through music that’s urgent, sharp, and unflinchingly human.

TESTAMENT singer Chuck Billy comments: "The new album 'Para Bellum' consists of some fast, heavy and melodic tunes. Once again [TESTAMENT guitarist Eric] Peterson has found a way to keep the song writing fresh and modern sounding. It’s gonna be hard to choose what songs to play live cause to many to choose from."

Peterson states: "It's been five years since our last record 'Titans Of Creation' was released. Since then, we all waited to get back to it and we all did in a big way! Now our long over due new record 'Para Bellum' is 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 'Infanticide A.I.' we're coming out swinging! But with new velocities of fury, while maintaining a balance that we all love and know from a TESTAMENT track. Enjoy!"

With every generation comes a great war. It may take years to fully reveal itself, but the seasoned warrior knows preparation is everything. Now in 2025, Bay Area Thrash Metal icons TESTAMENT return with their fourteenth studio album, "Para Bellum". Taken from the Latin phrase "Si vis pacem, para bellum" — "If you want peace, prepare for war".

True to TESTAMENT's legacy, "Para Bellum" is a masterclass in dynamic Thrash songwriting, guided by founding guitarist Eric Peterson and vocalist Chuck Billy, who continue to lead the band with vision and force.
