Testament, who recently parted ways with Gene Hoglan, have announced their new drummer is Dave Lombardo. The former Slayer, Suicidal Tendencies, and Dead Cross member was previously in Testament from 1998-1999 and was featured on their 1999 album The Gathering.

Says the band: "Testament always considers Gene Hoglan to be a friend and brother in metal forever. He will be missed and we wish him nothing but the best."
