Testament has announced completely remasteed versions of their seminal albums The Legacy and The New Order due out July 12. Both albums were remastered by Justin Shturtz at Sterling Sound, and you can stream "Over The Wall" and "Into The Pit" below. Both sound great, in case you needed a quick spoiler. Pre-orders are available for The Legacy here and The New Order here.
"When The Legacy and The New Order were first recorded we were new and had limited resources to record the albums being a young band," said Testament vocalist Chuck Billy. "Now, with the remastering, fans will hear the albums in their signature sonic onslaught they were intended to be heard."
Testament and Kreator also recently announced a co-headlining tour featuring Possessed for this September and October. The 33-date trek will kick off on September 12 in Reno, NV and will wrap things up in San Francisco, CA on October 27. Tickets are available here.
"Get ready North America," said Testament of the trek. "We are looking forward to a co-headline tour with our Thrash master friends Kreator. This is gonna be a madhouse of a show with our Bay Area homies Possessed opening the show so get there early. Testament will be performing an old-school set celebrating the re-release of The Legacy & The New Order."
"We’re very proud to bring a second edition of the Klash Of The Titans to North America!" added Kreator. "This time with the Bay area beasts, Testament and one of my favorite bands in the world, Possessed. From start to finish, this is metal madness and we can’t wait to deliver our biggest shows to date over there!'
