Testament
Testament formed in Berkeley, California in 1983 under the name Legacy and adopted their current name before releasing The Legacy (1987), positioning them among the first wave of Bay Area thrash alongside Metallica, Slayer, and Exodus. Vocalist Chuck Billy — of Pomo Native American descent — joined in 1986 and has fronted the band through fifteen studio albums, including the acclaimed The New Order (1988), Practice What You Preach (1989), and the modern comeback Titans of Creation (2020). The band is considered part of the 'Big Eight' of thrash metal and has remained one of the genre's most active and consistent forces for over four decades.
