CD Album in standard jewelcase packaging.

Background information über 'Para Bellum'

Testament returns with the fury of a thousand storms on "Para Bellum", delivering another crushing blow to the thrash metal landscape that proves these Bay Area legends are nowhere near done wreaking havoc. This latest offering sees the band channeling decades of experience into their most focused and ferocious work yet, with Chuck Billy's commanding vocals cutting through Alex Skolnick's razor-sharp guitar work like a battle cry from the metal gods themselves. The album title, Latin for "prepare for war", sets the tone perfectly as Testament unleashes track after track of pure sonic warfare that will leave your speakers begging for mercy.

From the opening salvo to the final devastating blow, "Para Bellum" showcases Testament at their absolute peak, combining the technical prowess that made them legends with a raw energy that feels as fresh as their debut. The rhythm section pounds with military precision while Skolnick's solos soar and dive like fighter jets in combat, creating a perfect storm of aggression and melody that only Testament can deliver. This isn't just another thrash album – it's a masterclass in how to stay relevant and vital after four decades in the game.

For fans of:
Exodus, Death Angel, Overkill, Kreator, Megadeth
