Metal Mind Productions have announced that the 21st edition of Metalmania Festival - the biggest metal fest in Central-Eastern Europe - will take place on March 24th, 2007 at Spodek Hall in Katowice, Poland. As usual there will be two stages where around 25 bands will perform for thousands of metal freaks!

TESTAMENT is the first band to be confirmed to perform on the main stage during Metalmania Festival 2007.

The American band was meant to perform at the Metalmania festival in 2006, however, owing to the unclear politics of the band's concert agency Maximus Entertainment, it did not come to pass, for which the agency apologized. But the band themselves did not forget about their Polish fans and accepted with pleasure the invitation to the 2007 edition of the festival.

Let us remind you that Testament is a thrash metal legend which has been active since 1983 and which enjoys an almost maniac adoration by their fans. Not only did those Americans from San Francisco create the foundations of the thrash metal genre, but they also developed their own distinctive sound which won them a stable position in the metal Pantheon, next to such bands as METALLICA, SLAYER and MEGADETH. At the Metalmania Festival the band will perform in their classic line-up: Chuck Billy (vocals), Alex Skolnick (guitar), Eric Peterson (guitar), Greg Christian (bass) plus a guest musician from CRADLE OF FILTH: Nicholas Baker (drums). It is with pride and joy to invite to such a gig, which is going to be one of the most important musical events in 2007!

The complete list of the Artists to perform at Metalmania Festival to be announced very soon.
