MTV filmed Testament’s live performance at BB King’s in NYC on April, as well as a special performance on Alcatraz in the band’s hometown of San Francisco. There will also be tons more extra footage, so tune in all week long and check it out!

Testament’s fans can also go to www.MTV.com to see longer pieces of performances and catch footage they might have missed on air. The footage is available under “Artist of the Week” on the main page. Testament can be found there under the MTV Buzzworthy section.

52 / 52 is a way for MTV to give unprecedented exposure to unsigned artists, indie bands, and established acts on major labels in a completely new and innovative way. MTV will handpick 1 band / artist per week for any entire year and give them the equivalent of over 11 hrs of on-air promo inventory per week on the channel. This essentially means that each 52 / 52 band / artist will receive over 1,190 :30 second spots per week of on-air time per week - constituting over 11 hours of on-air time for each artist - 52 Weeks / 52 different Artists.

Testament’s latest album, The Formation of Damnation, charted for the second week in a row, coming in at #150 on the Billboard Top 200. The album debuted at #59, moving over 11,500 units in the first five days. Testament continues to dominate the airwaves, coming in at #1 on both the FMQB and CMJ radio charts.
