Bay Area thrash metal icons **TESTAMENT** return this Fall with their fourteenth studio album, ***Para Bellum, ***which will be released on October 10th via **Nuclear Blast Records. **The albumstands 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.

The band’s latest single, ‘**Shadow People**,’ is a haunting and groovy track that will have you looking over your shoulder. It creates a vivid sense of unease and dread – both lyrically and musically – as if something from the unknown is coming for you. Watch the animated video created by Freakshot Films, here: **[https://youtu.be/CsWHa92QuIs](https://nuclearblast.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f52be22febdeb73950b267672&id=cd1d112e3f&e=8eb7da516a)**

***Para Bellum ***was recorded with **Juan Urteaga**, mixed by **Jens Bogren **at **Fascination Street Studios**, and was mastered by **Tony Lindgren** at **Fascination Street Studios**. The album is extremely polished and operating at full throttle. The band once again enlisted **Eliran Kantor** tocreate the album artwork. In an era flooded by AI-generated imagery. the hand painted creation encapsulates the album’s essence: a serene angel made of missiles, an explosion turned halo, surrounded by shovel-bearing cultists with books strapped to their faces.  
  
From first note to last breath, ***Para Bellum*** is an album by warriors—crafted in chaos, and built to outlast the wars to come!

**TESTAMENT** is:

Chuck Billy | Vocals  
Eric Peterson | Guitar  
Alex Skolnick | Guitar  
Steve DiGiorgio | Bass
