Fall definitely has its perks despite the temperature decrease. As the leaves turn colors, more and more bands hit the road to begin their fall tours. This analogy can be applied to the Bay Area thrash kings, Testament, who just announced that current “Dark Roots Of Earth” studio drummer and world-famous percussionist, Gene Hoglan, will be joining them on the road for select dates on their upcoming co-headlining run with Anthrax. Hoglan will team up with Testament from October 28th through November 13th.

Testament has some more news for you metal heads. They will again be offering special VIP/Meet and Greet Packs on their tour with Anthrax and Death Angel. The cut off time to purchase VIP/Meet and Greet packs before each individual show has been extended to eight days! Purchasing a VIP/Meet and Greet Pack allows you the opportunity to spend quality time with Testament, where you can take photos with the band, get an autograph and simply hang out. You will also have access to a ticket to their performance, special merchandise hand-picked by the band and a collectible Testament laminate to commemorate your experience.
