Guitarist Alex Skolnick commented on the upcoming tour: “This is the first 'proper' Testament tour since our reunion a few years ago. It is our best routing of North American cities yet, including places such as Philadelphia and Atlanta, which we haven't been able to hit since reuniting. As a band, we've never sounded better. With our full-length set, reasonable ticket prices and show that is going to knock you out, now is the time to get out of the house and come see us!”

Dan Gapen of Lazarus A.D. added: “I am extremely excited to be going out on the road with two bands that I admire. Testament has to be one of my favorite bands, and it’s great to be playing with one of the founders of thrash metal. Unearth is one of the big metal bands of the current millennium, and I can’t wait to throw down with those guys. Simply put, I am truly excited to be getting the chance to play in front of all our fans on such a great tour”
